Still one of my favorite shots I ever took. It shows the core details of The Great Nebula in Orion. You can even see the 4 separate stars in the trapezium.

As a SCUBA diver I am more scared of other humans than I am of sharks....

@koyu@koyu.space Mine is from the 80's, old school mechanical. But even the old membrane types had a better feel to them than the modern ones.

@koyu@koyu.space Must have sentimental value for you then

@koyu@koyu.space My keyboard is about 30 years old. Its the thing I have owned the longest though not the oldest thing I own (I have a rock collection that is in the millions).

How old is yours?

@Liberty4Masses No worries, I saw it so nothing spoiled. Just trying t look out for others.

@Liberty4Masses Luckily i already saw the show. But please use a CW to be respectful of those who have not.

@post It is temporarily disabled. Been in the hospital but on the mend now so should get to reenabling it very soon.

@InvaderXan To be fair this is no more an optical illusion than a projector using film would be.

"Do not think that enlightenment is going to make you special, it’s not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I meet a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake simply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience. They wear their enlightenment on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They sit among friends and talk about how awake they are while sipping coffee at a cafe. The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it is going to make you less special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened the whole notion of enlightenment and someone who is enlightened is a big joke. I use the word enlightenment all the time; not to point you toward it but to point you beyond it. Do not get stuck in enlightenment."

@koyu@koyu.space Funny how that works. The farther I am away from large population centers the more advanced I want my tech to be just so i have something to stave off the boredom :)
