Did you see the other story? a large woman that was wearing a shirt that said “release the Epstein files”? Security removed her and when she was resisting, they ripped a chunk of hair out of her head. She immediately went to the hospital and got everything documented. Dumbass. Lawsuit incoming.

Last nights capture was Triangulum Galaxy. Much further away so hard to get details with my setup. High clouds tonight so no captures. And if there is ever anything you want me to capture, let me know. I can tell you whether my telescope can capture it. #astrophotography #dwarflab #triangulum

So I found a company here in the states that sells a nice low sugar pumpkin syrup. I enjoy making my own at home since I only want a taste and not 4 pumps 100% sugar. Ick. They also sell an apple cinnamon syrup. Either of these are great with bourbon or whiskey. Just saying. 😉

It is absolutely awful that they’re bringing this crap out in September. And I’ve talked to some of the store employees at Costco and Michael’s and Macy’s, and they hate it as well. It’s corporate trying to get that dollar to appease their shareholders. This is what capitalism looks like. Ugh.

And in case you are feeling old, this is the Eastern Veil near Cygnus. It is not visible to the human eye the way Andromeda is on dark nights outside of the city. (Estimations) - It was a star 20 times larger than our sun and exploded between 10k and 20k years ago.

And in case anyone is wondering, the galaxy on the left side above Andromeda (M31) is M110. The one below and to the right is M32. M32 is believed to be in the foreground. M110 is on the same plane as Andromeda and classified as a satellite galaxy. It has had material stripped away by Andromeda.

Here are the results from last night. I like this mosaic feature to get a wider more complete version that I can custom crop. I need to tweak it a little more in my photo editor and third party stack editors. 1st pic is regular. 2nd is mosaic. #astrophotography #dwarf3

Oooo…what’s on the agenda for Venice? I’d love to get to Italy next year to hit a few cities and go to stationary stores that sell fountain pens. Not sure I want to drop €300+ on a pen but I could probably find some no name brand that I can afford. LOL.

Here we go. I now have an external outdoor battery hooked up to my telescope. This should definitely run it overnight. The most I can get without that battery is 3 1/2 hours. The battery should give me nine hours. So I’m doing a six-hour mosaic composition of the Andromeda Galaxy. 🤞

You need one of those new fangled apps that reminds you to drink each hour. After my low blood pressure and dehydration emergency room scare, I keep mine going just to remind me when I get too focused crafting during the day.

What exercises did you do? If you did any that required you bending over to pick up weights off the rack, that was probably it. When I had a similar surgery in the same area (‘89), I was told not to bend and lift anything over 10 lbs. for 2 weeks, then 15 for 2 weeks, then 25 for 2 weeks. It sucked!

😢 You youngsters need to listen to your doctors and take it easy. We want you back healthy. (I’m dealing with a young neighbor across the street who just had hip replacement surgery (arthritis) and he over did it on 1st day after surgery. 🤦🏻) 🫂

This year’s Big Brother in the US has been a shit show. Very obviously scripted since they brought in 2 Survivor alums and someone from last season that stirs the drama. Down to the final 3 and it’s obvious whose gonna win. I miss the old BB shows without influencers or alums.

Interesting. Google lens: This appears to show a green-capped mushroom from the genus Russula, commonly known as a brittlegill. a few possibilities: • Russula aeruginea (Green Brittlegill) • Russula virescens (Greencracked Brittlegill) • Russula cyanoxantha (color variant of the charcoal burner)

What’s funny is this is nowhere near the White House or where Congress meets that might need protecting. Instead, it’s by Arlington National Cemetery. I guess all the soldiers that gave their lives before he became president need protecting. 🤦🏻

Since you are an artist, there are a few stationary stores that are known in the fountain pen world that carry great pens and inks as well as arts supplies. Glitter Acrylic! LOL. There is also Birmingham Pens but you would need to call and make an appointment. www.birminghampens.com
