I may not post as much about comics as I used to, but I'll never forget this blog's roots: hating Dan Didio

It occurred to me that since I was last on Tumblr, I got a new astrophotography setup. I've only used it a few times, but most nights I'd rather haul out Lyra the Dob for a quick and easy setup.

The scope part of the new rig arrived the day before I left for a week-long trip to dark skies as a mentor at an astronomy camp. I got the go-ahead to bring it; the seeing was bad all week so the stars were bloated, but I still had a great time.

From that week:

At top left is Messier 109; the bright star is the bottom-left corner of the Big Dipper's cup. I'd chosen it for first light because I'd never imaged it before and it has a beautiful barred spiral structure. In this cropped version you can see the structure and three faint satellite galaxies to the right, running in a row from above the galaxy to just below and right of it.

The one at bottom right is the Coma Galaxy Cluster. The seeing made it hard to tell, but *most* of the points of light in that image are individual galaxies and not stars. I could see a few dozen through my visual scope one night. It was glorious.

Related to that last reblog, I once had someone online ask me if I had electricity based solely off my accent.

Gonna be really funny* 6 months from now when everyone who voted for him because the price of burgers is too high** realizes that things are even more expensive because his economic policies are ass, and everything else is shittier as well

* Not funny at all

** To be clear, this is why he won. People are mad things aren't as cheap as they used to be, and were willing to ignore literally everything else

More space rambles: I tried imaging from my driveway and discovered that, no, the streetlights are still too close to not cause glare - even though this scope is designed with a long shade.

That same week I went somewhere darker and took two better pictures.
