That one is close being 2,283 light years away. The next picture is of M65 and 66 with are about 35,000,000 light years away!

Was Force the old Chrysler?

A zoomed and cropped picture or the Ring Nebula

Had a good night with the scope. Made some changes how it lines up with the north star and I'm happy with how accurate it is. I'm still playing with the lowest power eyepiece but now that the objects I'm looking for are getting closer to the center it's time to start zooming in. Anyway while doing a 4 minute time lapse, a Spirit Airlines A321 flew right into the picture. As soon as the camera was done I checked Flight radar 24 and found out who it was. 22,000 feet at 400 MPH.

Better stock up on salt to preserve meat and chlorine to kill bacteria in water. Oh, and ammo cause this will make the Zombie Appocolypse looks like a Cub Scout meeting.

For a while there I thought I was north of the Arctic Circle. If it wasn't for the smoke from the wildfires we'd be having beautiful nights for the telescope.

We're forecast a low of 41 tonight.

All month.

nice colors for the month of June😏

Too many years in work boots made me a woosie.

The gray one has something to do with coax cable. RG6 and 59 are types of coax cables.

If I had the slightest inkling one of those was on my property I'd bulldoze, then burn then call in a nuke strike. Just in case.

I know personally one soldier killed in combat. He was three years ahead of me in high school. The sort of person I looked up to. He enlisted right out after graduation. KIA shortly afterwards To honor him I named my son after him.

Here's one with two galaxies. M81 & M82. 4 minutes exposure at around 23 power. It was taken right after dark. Clouds started covering as I was taking this picture.

At that price you get out of the toy telescopes and have something you can start to see things. Beautiful day here with zero clouds, nice breeze and low humidity. I'll set mine up tonight and try some long exposure shots through the eyepiece.

Playing around last night. Both were taken through the eyepiece before dark.

Drier sheets and fabric softener are how a wife marks her territory.

I was thinking more like a 289 or 327.

Steel tube frame😂

Trick I learned to reduce Deer Flies. Need: any type of plastic jug i.e. 1/2 gallon milk jug. Blue paint, Tanglefoot and some type of rod to mount and elevate the sticky blue milk jug on your mower, atv whatever. Paint the jug blue and apply the sticky Tanglefoot. Works best if mounted close to your head but slightly higher. Ride the yard at the edges of the trees nice and slow. Have contests to see who catches the most Deer flies. Fun for the entire family. Some have used a hardhat but seems like a way to get the sticky stuff all over yourself.

I built one just like that from plans most likely from Popular Science. I was still in school when I built it. A Johnson 9.9 pushing that Pumpkin Seed got your attention. It was the most unstable boat I've ever been in. Like skipping a rock across a pond. On top of that it had a bad habit of allowing water over the transom if you stopped too quick. Fast? Oh yeah. I operated on a lake with a 10HP limit and was told never to bring it back since too many pontoon boat operating old geezers complained about how fast it was.

!. Are you sure that wasn't 36 kg?

That's clearly not me. My fish are never that big.
