    Astrophotography

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    Yesterday was a fine day for astronomy in BC (except that it was so bloody freezing and windy) as these three were together.

    The bright thing next to the moon is Venus and the very dim dot to the top right of the moon is Mars. Two planets in one crappy iPhone photo, what a deal! I took the opportunity to take out my old telescope and got this with my iPhone through the lens:

    Not a bad picture of the moon using only an iPhone and a cheap telescope from Hong Kong. The ISS also flew over me, but I was too slow to react.

    Today I tried another attempt at a moon photo, except during dusk, and captured this:

    I'm quite surprised that the iPhone camera managed to capture most of the detail. 

    I managed to catch the ISS today as well.

    This is my professional telescope: the SkyEagleProBro Master 2 Electric Boogaloo 5000.

    The Holidays are Here!

    British Columbia is covered by a strange white powder. I think the outsiders call it "snow" or something like that. Our elders had told legends about this mysterious substance and how it can turn into water when heated, but we dismissed those crazy old stories as myths. Now, they are the ones who are laughing. Drivers are driving worse than they usually are, salt is sold out everywhere, and every streetlight holds captive around 20 people each, grabbing them by their tongues. I don't think we can make it out of this catastrophe. We're done for.

Good luck to him for his future endeavours! o7

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

    What makes you feel old?

    I remember playing video games...with no DLC nor play to win and had splitscreen. *sheds tear

    EDIT: I am still young as I'm *censored by glorious Rimiya* years old, yet I don't catch on to modern trends: I don't like modern music, I don't text during class, I don't follow the latest freshest memes, and I don't use the word 'like' every 2 seconds (seriously people, control your likes!!).

    hell with it. Edit 2: More opaque flag glasses

    Ah, jeez, should I or should I not. I got an interesting one, but I feel like I will regret it afterwards. Gah, social anxiety's hard. 

    EDIT: Here it is, Battlefield 1 in real life, in 2016; with authentic Canadian WW1 gear, including the Lee Enfield (not loaded obviously). Yes, I did add 90% more hair with Photoshop, anything for relative anonymity I guess.
