Got tired of processing images one by one so I modified my
@siril.org script to stack sessions separately so I can walk away while it works for a while & spits out stacked images.
Any guesses on objects? I bet you recognize at least one. Alt text has spoilers.

My excuse for this one is that I didn't realize I already did a session a month earlier. Found it while I was stacking.
Garnet star in the corner is most definitely getting cropped out.

Less than a week after being handed the biggest win, Democrats decide to intentionally throw the game.
Pathetic.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

The Crescent Nebula taken over 5 minutes in June and July. This time, I caught a hint of the Soap Bubble! The starless version shows it more clearly. Higher res version on astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/ni99aj

This is 2 panel, 8 session mosaic of the Cygnus Loop, also known as the Veil Nebula complex, taken over the summer. This was the subject of a few of my videos (I know I misspelled Cygnus in the footer).

Cuomo and Adams are pathetic. How long until they join the current administration since being a POS is a huge qualifier. Cuomo double qualifies as a predator.
Congrats to Mamdani! Sad that I no longer live in NYC and couldn't vote for him.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Da moon from earlier tonight. Single exposure, slightly processed in Photoshop to increase contrast and saturation. Took this to test a new scope/lens and was checking for chromatic aberrations. I think it looks fine, what do you think?

Just finished recording a demo of my upcoming comet preprocessing script in @siril.org. This is the final output. Note: The script just does preprocessing so there's still some manual labor involved and more processing steps remain after this output.

I just posted a video with 130 #astrophotography terms that will probably be really helpful for anyone starting out. I analyzed 2 million words from online forums, found the most common terms, and explain them. I may have missed a few, but there is a lot here.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

I haven't done smartphone astro in a bit because I got an astrocam recently. However, I'm doing a smartphone #astrophotography talk on Friday. Toronto area folks, join us! It's free/open to the public (w/ paid parking). Here's the info: mississauga.rasc.ca/event/potpou... Attached are my own images.

The clock has just about run out on Melissa’s restrengthening period as its eyewall approaches the Sierra Maestra mountains. Even though it’s still extremely dangerous, I’m happy to see it didn’t intensify as much as I feared it would.

I've been testing out some new 5nm SHO filters (fully funded by me and my YT and BMC supporters; not sent to me) on several targets. This is a test of the heart nebula (IC 1805). It's about 1.5 hours for each filter (so, about 4.5 hours total).
