Here's what I worked on this weekend. The Summer Southern Milky Way! Using Canon R6, 70mm Zoom Lens @f/5.6, ISO 6400. A stack of 45sx10 frames, tracked on a Sky Guider. The data was captured at Cherry Springs State Park on 8/26. #astrophotography #astronomy #milkyway 🔭📷🌌 #stilllearning

I’d made a small Raven piece from scrap wood and was pleased with how it eventually turned out. This next one is similar but is going to be a Thunderbird if I don’t mess things up. I’ve already made a second head because the first didn’t turn out the way I’d pictured in my head. I’ll show the progress as it comes together. #indigenous #wip #StillLearning #pnw

Swift has been such a breath of fresh air! Remember the days of manual memory management? Thank goodness those are behind us! Big thanks to Chris Lattner and the Swift team for creating a language that's both powerful and actually enjoyable to use. This programmer's been around the block, and Swift is truly something special. #SwiftLang #StillLearning

I guess for stills, LUTs are like a real time filter in the view finder. So fun! #StillLearning And w/Panasonic adding them to the S9 it's only going to get more common for iOS & Android camera apps & "real" cameras. Some LUTs (generally the larger ones over 1MB) don't seem to work in Pearla. I don't know if that's a Pearla bug or more likely a me unencumbered by knowledge bug :-) All the Panasonic LUTs I have tried work in Pearla e.g. Vintage Vibes from Panasonic's site: https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/cameras-camcorders/lumix-s-mirrorless-full-frame-cameras-learn/article/creator-s-lut.html

Turns out heat intolerance is an #ADHD thing (sensory overload). I hate the feeling of direct sunlight on my skin - to me it feels like being stabbed by thousands of needles. I become short-fused and irritable. Life just isn't as much fun during the summer months. Kind of what 'normal' people have during the winter months, but in reverse 😂

ADHD. Huh. Who knew 🙄

Well, I'll be buggered. I always thought it had one spelling, with two (or more) meanings, such as pen and pen. Thanks for that. 🙂

Ok, results are not bad but not great either. The thin lines didn't come out as tidy as I had hoped. I'll make a new version of the panel without them.

😅 Both inks didn’t sheen as much and were discernible as dark blackberry or lilac shades, instead of being completely taken over by brown/golden or green sheens, respectively. #StillLearning (2/2)

Interesting exercise. I took these two photos within a minute of each other, the first using the camera's fully auto mode, the second with manual settings. Neither has been edited (except to add Alt text)

So apparently I knit Norwegian style, suppose that makes sense with me being in a neighboring Scandinavian country.

Did learn an optional way to do the purls when doing ribbing though which does not require the yarn to be moved to in front of the left needle, so that could actually be beneficial.

The video presenter did suggest the "regular" method for full rows of purls however as that would be faster/easier in that case.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography #StarTrails This photo is pointed at Polaris aka the North Star which was used historically for navigation because it moves very little while the rest of the sky rotates. I exposed this photo to preserve natural star colors but set up my intervelometer incorrectly so there are gaps in the trails which i decided looks cool. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography IC405 aka the Flaming Star Nebula is an emission and reflection nebula 1500 light years away in the Auriga constellation. The reflection nebula is the bluish area around the star AE Aurigae. This is the first time that I have been able to bring out the detail of the reflection nebuloaity amidst the stronger hydrogen emissions. #StillLearning

#Lifelessons I’m #stilllearning some days.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography I've been learning some new processing techniques to bring out oxygen and sulfur in my images: hydrogen in the red part of the light spectrum, oxygen in the blue, and sulfur in the orange. My images tend to be mostly quite red because hydrogen is so abundant. Using these new techniques, I reprocessed exposures from early September of the North America Nebula in what is known as the Hubble palette of colors. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography M45 aka Pleiades is an open star cluster 444 light years from Earth near the Taurus constellation. It contains over 1000 hot B-type stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. It is surrounded by space dust which reflects the blue light of the stars and makes it appear as a blue smudge. This image is 48 five minute exposures that I captured under partly cloudy skies and processed using some new to me techniques. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography SH2-132 is a faint emission nebula about 10,400 light years away in the Cepheus constellation. The two stars that are believed to be ionizing the gasses of the nebula are rare Wolf-Rayet stars, which are hotter than almost all other stars. They have depleted almost all of their hydrogen and are fusing helium or heavier elements at their core. They produce strong stellar winds as a result. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The blue supergiant star #Alnitak is 1250 light years away and is actually a triple star system. It serves as the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. The #Flame Nebula on the left and the #Horsehead Nebula on the right are emission nebulae energized by Alnitak. The area rises this time of year after 2am at my location. This image is only 10 five-minute exposures captured on a partly cloudy morning that caused me to throw away 25 additional images. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Orion Nebula is about 1350 light years away and is among the most studied objects in the night sky. Over 700 stars are in various stages of formation within the nebula, including the four young stars of the Trapezium Cluster. Evidence suggests there is a black hole 100 times the mass of our Sun at the center. The nebula is considered a beginner target but is challenging to photograph well. This image is 100 thirty-second exposures. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Heart Nebula is about 7500 light years away in the #Cassiopeia constellation. This image of 67 five-minute exposures focuses on the center of the Heart, on the star cluster whose winds are carving out the Heart. Melotte 15 is a young cluster at about 15 million years old and contains several stars with masses up to 40 times that of our Sun and many with masses a fraction of that of our Sun. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Wizard Nebula aka NGC7380 is 8500 light years away in the Cepheus constellation. It is between 4 and 11 million years old and is extremely difficult to observe visually. This image is from two nights, September 4 and 14, which I combined for a total of 6.5 hours of exposure. I threw out about 3 hours of exposure due to clouds. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Horsehead Nebula aka #IC434 is a dark nebula near #Alnitak the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. The red hydrogen of the nebula is though to be excited by Sigma Orionis, the bright star in the upper right. The nebula doesn't rise until 2am at my location right now and I had to throw away many exposures due to clouds so this image is only 17 five-minute exposures captured in the wee hours this morning. #StillLearning

Day 1624 #DailyPhoto #SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Jellyfish nebula aka #IC443 is a supernova remnant about 5000 light years away in the Gemini constellation. The remnant is about 50 arc minutes across. In comparison, a full moon is 30 arc minutes across. The bright star is #Propus aka Eta Geminorum and is actually a triple star system. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The bright star is Gamma Cassiopeia aka Navi, the middle star in the W of the Cassiopeia constellation. It is 17 times the mass of our Sun and emits 34,000 times the energy. The Ghost nebula is the red hydrogen emission nebula below Navi. IC59 is the blue reflection nebula that gets its color from space dust reflecting the energy from Navi. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography If you zoom into the right side of this image, you will see NGC7635 aka the #Bubble, an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. The Bubble is created by stellar winds from its central star, which is about 44 times the mass of our Sun. The open star cluster #M52 is in the lower left. It is 158 million years old and contains 1200 times the mass of our Sun. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Cocoon Nebula aka #IC5146 is a star nursery about 4000 light years away in the #Cygnus constellation. The central star that lights it is only 100,000 years old. The nebula is surrounded by a dark lane of dust called Barnard 168 which gives it the appearance of having a dark tail. There are thousands of young stars in this complex. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Monkyhead Nebula aka #NGC2174 is about 6400 light years away in the Orion constellation. It doesn't come to view for me right now until about 2am so the sky was full of challenging fog when I captured nearly 3 hours of exposure for this image. It's one of my favorite subjects so I'm sure I'll image it again as Orion rises earlier and earlier. #StillLearning
