This is a follow up to my post from a few month ago before starting this mission. I've been attempting to land on pretty much every body in the Kcalbeloh system, and I've finally made it to the inner planets closest to the black hole.
(Sadly I had to F9 this spaceplane back up to the mothership. Atmosphere is too thick for it to ascend.)
They’re still going to launch the 6 operational starliner flights on Atlas V’s, and Amazon has bought several of them for their Kuiper satellite constellation.
Personally I doubt starliner is going to keep flying once the 6 ISS missions are over, regardless of launch vehicle.
Could you edit your equipment out of your title?
Also any and all astro photos are allowed here, regardless of how “low effort” they are (as long as they follow the couple rules on the sidebar. I don’t want there to be any kind of arbitrary minimum quality standard to prevent people from posting their space photos on here.
May Christ be with you
This is already the highest res (at least in terms of being zoomed in), but here's the entire uncropped photo
thanks!
Finally done with classes and I got some time to at least star processing my pics. Gonna be a while before I figure out all the HDR stuff, so here's a pic of the prominences about 10 seconds before C3. It was absolutely nutty seeing them naked eye during the eclipse, and visually through my other telescope. Captured on April 8th, 2024 from Sikeston, MO.
Places where I host my other images:
TPO 6" F/4 Imaging Newtonian
Orion Sirius EQ-G
Canon T3i (Ha modded)
Skywatcher Quattro Coma Corrector
Moonlite Autofocuser
Acquisition:
Capture Software:
Eclipse Orchestrator Free for automating the capture sequence
NINA for controlling the mount and autofocuser

I watched it in imax opening night and the energy in that room was incredible.
The saturation is increased, but looking at the moon through a telescope you can barely see some faint blue/tan colorations that line up with this pic. The blue areas have more titanium minerals and the tan/orange areas have more iron
Kcalbeloh mod, but I’ve also got OPM plus the minor planets expansion for OPM. The kcalbeloh mod does add a wormhole near sarnus like in the movie interstellar.
Yes it’s blackrack’s volumetrics. Despite all the clouds I’m still CPU bound, even with a 5800X3D
