The North America Nebula, NGC 7000, inside the Cygnus constellation. This is a new treatment with HOO colors. The original capture was taken in June

NASA did not find a definitive cause on the LH2 leak that scrubbed the second Artemis I launch attempt. They were able to narrow it down to a few options and are proceeding with mitigations for attempt number three.

The Helix Nebula NGC 7293 makes an appearance on the tracking camera as I try and update USA 227's positional data.
@tpallot Try @scottagunn @karanslade and @davidsibley then look and see who they follow / who follows them.
Also if you follow Episcopal people on twitter, https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/ will help you fond those who are on Mastodon
@HMinchin We use YouTube to stream because the quality is better and the stream is easy to find both live and later. We did a virtual coffee hour on Zoom while we couldn't gather in person. We kept that going and had a plan to integrate it into live coffee hour when we returned, but dropped it after a few months of no one participating. Too much effort for consistent zero attendance.

Here's another gem from recent times, my image of the Soul Nebula in Cassiopeia. Shot with a OSC camera and the L-Extreme filter, it's possible to process the data in the Hubble Palette style.
Telescope: Technosky AG70
Camera: ASi294 MC Pro
Stack: 100x300s
Stacked in AstroPixelProcessor and edited in PixInsight
@Dubikan @smotus Ironically, this may be a boost to Sen Warnock. If the Georgia runoff had been the determining factor in control of the senate, it would have nationalized the race. Voters would have voted based on who would control the Senate. Now the race can be much more about who the better candidate is and in that respect Warnock looks much stronger than Walker. The lower stakes make it easier for voters to cross party lines.

“O God, the source of eternal light: Shed forth thine unending day upon us who watch for thee, that our lips may praise thee, our lives may bless thee, and our worship on the morrow may give thee glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
@louiscouture How old is it and where does it live? I see this behavior on older machines that have bad fans, dust, or other heat related issues. Check both the CPU and GPU fans and heat sinks. Also because it is an easy thing to fix, check the condition of the bios battery anything below 3.05v is suspect.
@Robminchin when you get tired of trying to turn fine threaded screws with allen keys you will want a set of driverd bits. This is my go to set at work: https://www.mechanicsurplus.com/products/117486795

Fedi is the most strange thing in the world.
On normal social media, you write a message and people just ignore it forever.
Here, you write a message, it stays ignored for 1 or 2 years, and then all of a sudden, for no reason, with no explanation, someone finds it somehow, boosts it, and it gets 200 likes and 120 boosts.
What the fuck.
I'm sure someone will boost this message in 2021 or 2022.

It’s awesome to see so many great people in #Astrodon lately. Even more, many of these people are amateurs like me, so I really appreciate their posts. Keep them coming! ✌️

The difference between Twitter and Mastodon right now is stark.
Twitter: Tons of stochastic retweets and "people follow this person" algorithm nonsense. This only started happening in the last 2 weeks.
Mastodon: Only content from the people I follow!
I almost thought Mastodon was broken for a little while until I realized... the people I followed just hadn't posted in a few hours!
Twitter nervously tries to fill that silence with the algorithm to keep you engaged, while Mastodon is like:
@planet4589 Boeing has a news release on this with the usual national security obfuscation https://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?item=131172#assets_20295_131172-117:21205

Posted this as a locked post, maybe I will get an answer faster if it is open.
A #fediverse #tech #question on #boosts: I keep seeing boosts of posts I have already seen (it looks like lots of my followers like the same things I do 😛 ). Is there some setting that stops this, so I don't see something three times, but just once? I can't find anything like this.
Thanks!

Wow! Once in a lifetime shot!
This amazing image of a meteor was captured by Jonathan Eggleston in West Virgina, USA, during the recent lunar eclipse.

Some time many years past author John Scalzi ( @scalzi) encouraged his followers to adopt the #NewYearsResolution "I will 'like' the all the cat pictures in my social media scroll." It is the only new years resolution I ever kept the entire year, and a habit I continue to this day. Happy #Caturday everyone.

ActivityPub doesn’t seem like too heavy a protocol in terms of coding up some basic bots or servers. Mulling over the possibilities!

M1, the Crab Nebula shot in dualband ... almost too snall for my telescope 😊. Total exposure time was around four hours with single exposures of five minutes ... #astrophotography #astronomy #universe #cosmos
