Russia has a different approach to the problem: Very aggressive jamming. Sure, you can see them before they can see you, but those missiles are gonna be much less effective at tracking and destroying targets.

Stealth is being as quiet as possible, Russian jets are so damn "loud" that you don't know which target is the real one.

Once within range for a more traditional dogfight it's basically a coin toss, mostly down to the pilots and the reliability of the plane's hardware.

Musk could give away a billion dollars a week for the rest of his life and never drop from the forbes list. (Considering how his personal net worth has basically never decreased over time). He doesn't care about money anymore, once you go beyond a certain point you just stay there, no matter what fucked up shit you say or do.

He could appear on live TV tomorrow sodomizing 10 human toddlers and nothing would happen to him.

Threatening him with money will just not work. Ever. Unless we set up guillotines for ultra rich assholes this will only get worse, especially now that Trump and Musk showed their peers that laws don't matter anymore.

But have they tried Brawndo, the thirst mutilator? It's got electrolytes!

The US can remotely disable them whenever they damn well please anyway, and can not be trusted not to.

Everyone should be canceling their orders immediately, and disable the remote access capabilities to the ones they have.

The first of many decisions that recognize only three fifths of some people's worth

A repairable Chromebook basically. I'd rather get the 13 chassis with the older mainboard and a touch screen, or have the 12 natively dual boot android if they can pull that off

Yeah SpaceX is what planes crave! It's got electrolytes!

Article doesn't mention what's proposed here or what the EU will provide to Ukraine in return.

Unless we see boots on the ground I don't think Zelenskyy should be signing anything at this point

I don't get why only the cyber trucks are being vandalized. Plenty of model 3/x/s out there too guys, don't forget those too!

Well if just speaking is an offence, then just speaking is not a valid defence. Time to put your money where your first amendment is, before you have to start using other amendments to defend the first

Thanks! I have to drive for an hour to get to a bortle 4 to shoot most targets I have in mind, about a week every month with no moon, one night only on any given week due to work schedule and the weather has to be good as well... Which I'm sure is a struggle everyone in here is familiar with :p

This target in particular will be unavailable in the summer months when the weather is always nice, so I'll try to give it another go in a few days and see what happens.

I'll post a side by side comparison to hopefully highlight some improvement!

 

My first time trying to shoot the Horse Head nebula! I have a stock Sony a6000, which cuts out most of the hydrogen red signal, but thankfully enough got through to at least make this a solid attempt.

The data is about 45 minutes worth of 30 second exposures out of my Sony and a Ttartisan 500mm f6.3 lens, on a star tracker.

Due to the very limited total integration time and the stock camera I had to stretch pretty far while fending off artifacts here and there.

Overall I'll take it, will revisit in the future.

Feedback appreciated!

 

My 5th time trying to image a seemingly easy target with something being off... This time I must have nudged the lens out of focus slightly and there was some dew forming on the lens that I hadn't noticed. This hobby sure has a steep learning curve!

Still, decided to not throw away the whole attempt and did a quick processing. It's about 45 minutes worth of 30 sec exposures at 500mm f6.3.

Feedback appreciated!

 

63 x30 sec tracked, 10 of each calibration frames. Stock Sony A6000, ISO 1600. 500mm f8 ish with a ttartisan lens.

Feedback appreciated!

Orion Nebula (lemmy.world)

73x30 sec of the Orion nebula, with a stock Sony a6000 and a ttartisan 500mm f6.3 on a StarAdventurer.

Lens was wide open, which introduced lots of aberrations on the brightest stars. Will try stopping down next time. Also, focus wasn't perfect and I had some dew issues.

No calibration frames, either, I was just testing the lens for the first time.

Stacked in Siril, stretched in photoshop, final touches in Lightroom.
