And the writings of those others contain cultural differences they can not comprehend, so the response is to dismiss them as subpar, rather than admit their own intellectual shortcomings.

That is a thing, but if you read the whole thing, it is clearly a supremacy issue here. For them, sci-fi is an intellectual interest, and intellect is valued as the domain of white men. Anyone else is an affront to that and must be kept out.

Yes, definitely the Andromeda galaxy, and if you look to the upper right corner, the Triangulum Galaxy is faintly visible there, as well.

It is hilarious to me that y’all think any democrats will actually move to prosecute any of them.
Henry Kissinger was orders of magnitude more of a war criminal than Hegseth could hope to be, and he was literally Hillary Clinton’s mentor.
Keep dreaming

OH… (pun intended) is this the buckeye guy? Or rather, person, since buckeyes are notoriously polygamo-monoecious

Because they aren’t reading it to have their ideas challenged, they are in it for escapism, and particularly to escape the people they don’t like in the real world.

Well, if you mean the little dash left of center, that probably is a satellite.
I am referring to the Andromeda Galaxy further up and to the right, which kinda just looks like a star here.

More like one now I think.
For perspective, this is Jupiter with Ganymede, its largest moon, which is about 42% of the diameter of Earth. The red spot is obviously foreshortened a bit here, but still gives a fair sense of scale.

In the meantime, you can get Neptune and Triton with the SeeStar similar to your Uranus image. I’ve seen it done a few times.

Yes, a lot of people do composite images for this. It is probably possible to do it in one go, but only with considerably more aperture.
Interestingly, Neptune and Triton are easier, as the difference in brightness is not as great. Neptune is dimmer than Uranus, but Triton is brighter than Titania

Thanks! It’s also at the same scale, so it shows how much bigger the overexposure makes it appear.

Thanks, this is with an 8” f/6 Newtonian with 3x Barlow, and ZWO ASI224mc planetary cam, stacked from best frames of video capture.
Here’s Uranus properly exposed:

What’s cool to see is that these are not the stars we are seeing Uranus amongst here on earth
