  1. Absolutely! Immediately I press on the brake pedal harder!
  2. That's amazing! All in the field of view.
  3. Having to wait for the break in high clouds. Amazing how dim it gets in the filter, but not in the sky. Definitely got some spots showing. Just another quick single image witn the Canon.
  4. Very nice image! So much more there than my recent single image!
  5. With my meager abilities, I'll say its awesome!
  6. Oh, I do like that image! Friendship, food and knowledge are the things we have to pass on without question!
  7. I looked at the AR's this morning while the Sun was very low. They did look quite interesting. Now, thanks to El Nino, we are clouding up!
  8. Thanks for the heads up! Tomorrow starts 5 days off, so hopefully I'll have clear skies!
  9. What did a C14 sell for way back then?
  10. So once again I'm working. The last of my three days, then five off. My mind was running wild, crazy dreams about work. It's been a couple of those days. Couldn't sleep so I got up at 2:30 am. Hurried through my get ready routine then went out to Area 51and grabbed my binoculars. . Only had 20 minutes so I hurried. First Jupiter, which only had 3 moons showing. It's well past the zenith in the Western sky. From there, up to Pleadies. Moving to Taurus, I briefly looked at It's brightest star before moving to Orion. The nebula was incredible, like always. And giving in to curiosity, I did a quick count. I could count twenty stars inside the four corners, some with averted vision. If I would have tried longer, I might have seen more. Finally, over to my fuzzy I saw yesterday. It was almost directly overhead, so I had to take the binoculars off the tripod. The distinct fuzzy area was the Beehive cluster. The number of stars just amazing! Now, I'm at work waiting for the powers to be to come unlock the door! Feels good getting just a quick peek. Wish I had more time. Maybe tomorrow.
  11. It never seems to fail, the best skies are on a work day. Out at 3:30 am to feed the chickens and almost called out. Venus was absolutely brilliant, to the West Jupiter was visible but pale compared to Venus! I didn't even attempt to count the stars in Orion. I'm sure I would have got depressed! Everywhere you looked, the sky was black! To the East about 45° above the horizon, I could see a very distinct fuzzy in a small grouping of stars similar to what you faintly see with Andromeda, but wrong location. I'll have to try and figure out what I was seeing after I get home.
  12. Well done! It was really brilliant this morning even through thin clouds.
  13. Those telescopes look unbelievable! I can't imagine viewing with one! Seeing them lined up makes me wonder what happens when some spy satellite images the area and they report some weapons treaty violation!
  14. I also thought the moment I read this, I hope that's a typo! @Bugdozersaid Ed Ting thinks we're all made of money. It would be nice, but I'll have to settle for just ordinary billion year old carbon.
  15. I found a link that let me send my name in to go along on the Europa clipper. This will be my longest trip to date. It leaves in 2024 if it stays on schedule. So, that has me on Mars with Perservence, circled the Moon with Artemis, now going to Europa! Maybe I can cash in the miles with Mr. Musk for a tourist trip around the Earth.
  16. As always, an excellent image Sir. The details stay sharp as large as I can enlarge the image!
  17. I would have never imagined them aligning like that! Like always, that is an incredible image!
  18. I know, spend money and get a bonus of bad weather with your purchase! I only bought a few red led lights to hook up with a dimmer to make walking around Area 51 easier. Now I'm getting cloudy mornings and light fog!
  19. Many large companies have very strict safety procedures, and I'm certain SpaceX is one of them. "Hey, you shouldn't be standing on the top step of that ladder to reach that box that was put higher than it should have been placed!" WINK, WINK! As the supervisor turns and walks away!
  20. @Littleguy80that's excellent! I didn't even try here,it was cloudy and i figured my latitude would have meant it not being occulted.
  21. Now we're talking! I really like the two Moto Guzzi!
  22. Looks interesting, I'll be following along. But on a side note, you really need more stuff in your shop! It's not nearly cluttered up enough!
  23. Still just playing with the mount and Canon T7. 2" nose piece, prime focus. ISO 3200 10 sec. Exposure. For my lack of experience and the equipment on hand I'm happy with it.
  24. I couldn't tell you the year, it would be many ago, we got to see the faintest hint of red in the sky. All these images are wonderful!
