Sometimes it's fun to go back to old #astrophotography data with new tricks. There was so much color hiding in Rho Ophiuchi that my previous processing attempts missed. Best picture I've ever taken and it continues to give. 📷🔭

Astrophotography is really great if you grew up on early computers and miss clicking a button and waiting on an INCREDIBLY long process, often with no progress bar.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

Hey parents, are you in the market for a school with integrity? Pick the school in your district with the highest number of books in their library that these dickweeds want to ban and send your kids there.
Nice of them to give us this resource.

If you were ever wondering what we're up against, this is a website book banners created to train people to get books banned in their own communities.
I found my kids' school in here, and the books this website suggests I get banned from their library.

Here is the satellite pollution from my imaging of the C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) comet, from 7:58 pm to 8:57 pm, one minute shy of one hour.

3 more nights worth of data added, and you can really start to see the clouds now! #Astrophotography is definitely a hobby for patient people. Super grainy, I didn't have the SNR to actually stretch it this far but I really wanted to see the clouds. 🔭📷

Apparently #owloween is a thing, so here are some shots of the time a friend leaned against a dead tree and a Northern Saw-Whet Owl angrily informed us that this log was occupied.

I live in an incredibly light polluted place and got into a habit of only doing #astrophotography when I traveled to dark sites - but I started here with worse equipment and fewer skills so...
Returning to my roots. Orion Nebula, M42. 3 entire nights of data under Bortle 9+ skies. 🔭📷

I think it's safe to say that last night's VR work session was slightly derailed by my discovery of music visualizer environments

I would love to have Merry and Pippin just feed me like a normal hobbit for a day. Not even anything special, just the usual 14 meals
If you could have any fictional character cook you their best dish, what would you choose?

Attention everyone old enough to remember Mr Rogers telling you to look for the helpers: You are the helpers now. Don't stand by while bad shit happens. The world can only burn if enough people give up on putting out the fires.

The "political polarization" people basically just mean that people who have basic empathy should try to understand sociopaths and be more like them

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

I prefer Law NAND Order because it's functionally complete, meaning you can make any other TV show out of some arrangement of LNOs.
There's Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Law and Order CI, ...
I think the spinoffs would have been far more interesting if they explored different relationship operators:
Law or Order
Law xor Order
Law not Order
