This is an up-close photo of Saturn's rings, but it also shows so much more. Those two little dots are actually the Earth and Moon as seen from over 1.4 billion kilometers away by the Cassini spacecraft. Everything you know and love is on that dot. #Astronomy ⚛️🧪

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

I experiemented with a widefield image of the Carina area using a Sigma 105mm DG HSM Art at f2, ZWO ASI2600MC Pro, and ZWO AM5. This was two hours (24x300 seconds) with an optolong l-ultimate. A good learning experience printing AF, tracking mounts, and other bits and pieces. #astrophotography

I've spent the better half of the last month pulling together this report with the team at @zeroheight.com and so happy that it's finally out! We asked just under 300 DS folks about their teams, systems, challenges and ways of working to get a state of the industry

Well, hello there. Hope everyone stays safe and tries not to buy up all the water and toilet paper, or at least shares some with their neighbors. #tropicalcyclone #alfred

Here’s a new blog about Design System team structure. On the surface it looks like I’m suggesting you need 17 people. Whisper: I’m actually suggesting you are expected to do 17 people’s work whatever the size of your team. iknowdavehouse.medium.com/the-design-s...

I attempted a 3x2 mosaic on the LMC at Figtree Country Retreat, QLD AU. Interesting target to go after for a mosaic and I think I will try again in a darker sky. 12x300 seconds per panel (3x2 mosaic) 6 hours total aquisition time #astrophotography

Going through some image backlog and found a session I did on the Lagoon Nebula last September out at Watts Bridge Memorial Airfield, QLD AU with 600 second subs. Here's a "quick" edit. 16x600 seconds with my trusty Redcat 51 + ZWO 2600MC. #astrophotography

Made a trip out to Figtree Country Retreat near Pittsworth QLD AU and managed to capture a few images at sunset of a dusted C2024 G3 ATLAS. The main image is a stack of 8 x 30 seconds f1.8 ISO 800 from a Nikon Z7 and Z 135mm Plena on my Benro Polaris. #astrophotography

Rough edit / rough image of C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) to accentuate the fanning as it breaks appart. Nikon Z7 + Nikon 135/1.8 Plena on a Benro Polaris f1.8 - 30 seconds - ISO 500 #astrophotography

Rough edit of my first glimpse of C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) Nikon Z7 + Nikon 135/1.8 Plena on a Benro Polaris f1.8 / 8 seconds / ISO1250 #astrophotography

Moderators are an important part of the Astronomy feeds community who help to keep it healthy! 🔭 We're nearly ready to appoint a new batch of mods, but would really like more applications from women & gender minorities. You do NOT need past experience to apply!

Some images of C 2023 A3 before (morning of Sep 30th, 2024) and after (evening of Oct 18th, 2024) parihelion. Captured with a Nikon Z7 and tracking with a Benro Polaris. #astrophotography

Running Chicken to Banana 3x4 mosaic. Still needs work but a great learning experience. #astrophotography @bot.astronomy.blue signup
