It's the moment you have been waiting for! After processing the frames from my ISS observation on 11/17, I was finally able to make a video from the data. That video has now been uploaded to YouTube and linked in this post. Enjoy! 😁

Trump has ordered a massive military buildup in the Caribbean. After months of lethal strikes at sea, Trump is threatening to expand this illegal unauthorized war to Venezuela. We don’t need another war. We need health care for all.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Liberals do not think Trump is a king. Liberals are simply reminding Trump of that fact. And hopefully, this recent well-deserved bitch slap gets the message across. 🌊🌊🌊

I’m in Florida this morning to take this health care fight directly to people most affected. Nearly 1 in 3 Americans in Florida with ACA coverage could lose their health insurance because of Donald Trump and Republicans' cuts.

Trump and Bessent are bragging about China promising to buy far fewer soybeans from U.S. farmers than usual. That’s not a win. It’s proof his reckless tariffs failed. Trump's trade war is hurting families, farmers, and businesses – and giving China the upper hand.

Here is my capture of the Orion Nebula. 🙂 I know... I've posted this image multiple times, but I kept finding ways to bring out even more detail. It's been a great learning experience. Anyway, this is the final version and I'm very happy with it.

I have to stop immediately posting the first edit of my astro images. Maybe sit on them for a bit. After reviewing my Orion image, I discovered a few extra steps I could have taken to bring out a little more detail & color. I also found some hot pixels to eliminate. New edit in progress. Stay tuned.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

It’s midnight, which means Trump’s government just ran out of money. Our entire government is shut down because Republicans in power refuse to lower health care costs.

Donald Trump is president. He completely usurped the power of Congress — and his MAGA lackeys are more than happy to go along with whatever he wants. If the government ends up shutting down, there's only one person to blame.

Here are the scans of my latest film photos! This was my first roll testing an off-axis guider for guiding through the same scope as the camera. Andromeda was a 30 min exposure and Orion was a 1 hr exposure, all manually guided so I'm really happy with these results!

A blast from the past! Here is my image of an ISS Lunar Transit captured with my Nikon P1000. This image was made by stacking multiple frames that were captured in less than a second. It's been almost five years since I got this shot and it's still one of my favorites.

Hey YouTube - I have done a damn good job filtering out the AI slop from my feed. I just click "Don't recommend channel" and it's done. But I have noticed that option is unavailable on a few channels despite being just as terrible. So WTF is going on here?

Turns out I have 269,856 frames of Saturn. Finding a way to debayer all these images is a total pain in the ass. So my time lapse of Titan's Shadow going across Saturn will be delayed until I can figure out a more efficient way of processing everything.
