They at least have an ISS live stream going most of the time, but it's pretty boring at night or when they lose coverage
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.
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
So it turns out camera sensors are perfectly fine being exposed to the last ~20 seconds of sunlight before an eclipse. I’ve decided that if I still have this cam in 2045 I’m going to sacrifice it to the sun by not putting the filter back on after totality, and letting it document its own demise.
I'm still kinda upset that it clouded over at the last minute during the 2017 eclipse. I had my camera set up to take a bunch of exposures for HDR throughout totality, and this was really the only one that turned out. Hopefully it'll be clear this time and I can get a proper HDR image, but I'm not looking forward to driving 6+ hours back home (not including eclipse traffic).
Also for anyone else who saw the last eclipse, did the dumb lizard part of your brain freak out a little when you saw stars out at 2pm or was it just me?
They shut it down last September. It’s nsfw spinoff redgifs is still up.
Yes, theres a few mods
It’s at least possible to sideload Apollo and use your own API key for it.
Astrophotography. Hell, just photography in general.
Lmao the SPMT reminds me of the festive raptor engine from a couple years ago
Looks like a $843 million contract to deorbit it sometime in 2030, and the deorbit vehicle is going to burn up as well. They could maybe just send up a starship without any tiles/flaps at that point? Hopefully some of these commercial LEO stations really get going before then to replace it...
