Yesterday I finished my longest astrophotography project yet. Here is a three panel mosaic of the area surrounding the Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635. You can see the nebula top middle. The whole image was exposed for a total of 18 hours over 6 separate nights. 🤯

Photographing the North America nebula NGC 7000 again, this time with all three narrowband filters I have. Turned out pretty nice after 5½ hours of exposure.
There's more information on my Astrobin page: https://www.astrobin.com/4azjsg/

Openstreetmap is reaching the point that it is just more information rich and beautiful than google maps and that is awesome

To whom it may concern,
This is a toot in email format. Trying to see if it catches on?
Have a nice day,
Kind Regards,

I love how when you're working on a remote computer, and you have to reboot it, it always takes just a little bit longer than you imagine it should.
Just enough time to make you think something's gone very wrong.
Telescope in action!
They also have a developer story video.

You may have three wishes.
- I wish that wish counts were represented as unsigned 64-bit integers.
- I wish that no underflow checks were performed on wish counts.
- I wish to have three fewer wishes.
I continue with the North America nebula for three hours last night. Here's the end result.
The image was taken with a narrowband filter that only passes light emitted by hydrogen glowing at a certain wavelength when exposed to the harsh ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars.
With narrowband filters it is possible to separate different elements from each other, and also - maybe more importantly - get rid of most of light pollution.

This is a Fosstodon and general Mastodon appreciation toot. I love it here, and have had some great conversations with people already on my short journey thus far. Such pleasant people.
