I spent six hours photographing the Triangulum Galaxy from a local parking lot. I wish light pollution wasn't so terrible here.

The triangulum galaxy, its spiral arms streching out from a small glowing core. Stars are present around the galaxy, and bright red areas of hydrogen gas are visible from afar.

Finally got this beauty tonight,
it’s hard from this location to get things close to the horizon,
maybe tomorrow I can go to a different place and get a better shot, but I’m pretty happy with this. This is comet Lemmon C2025 A6, only about a three minute exposure with the #Seestar S50

If I’m ever elected president, I will immediately turn that ballroom into a maximum security prison. Then I will put every one of those fuckers in it. I’ll even have an execution chamber just in case we can get the capital punishment against a few of them.
I’ll call it the people’s prison.

An October walk in the rain 🖤 (1/5)

I waited until the rain died down a little on Sunday before my walk. I really don't think there is anything better than a rainy October walk in the woods. The colors pop, and the scent of old wet leaves is my favorite! 🍁🍂

The Raiders likely could not compete against most teams practice squads they need to join a semi professional league, hardly a professional football team any longer.

The #LasVegasRaiders are not even a professional football team. They most likely could not even win a game against most practice squads.
I think it’s time to start a semi professional league. At least they might have a chance of winning a few games.

Had to get this beauty before the clouds and rain hit, it’s a pretty common object, but still awe inspiring, M31 and companions are our closest neighbors!

#PennState has no offense, no defense and no coaching and they were actually ranked number two. The only thing #weare is overrated.
Ohio state got rid of the defense coordinator for a reason.

Its pretty obvious that President Obama was raised much differently than President Trump, but I only feel sorry for one of them and it’s not President Obama.
