Ban Flock cameras. Ban Axon cameras. Ban Motorola cameras. Ban ALL automatic license plate readers. That was our message to the Senate today. The American people agree that it's time for Congress to take immediate action.

The NINA deep dive is going well. As predicted, the sequencer is vital to the success of your imaging session. So I will be spending even more time learning about the sequencer and how to utilize it fully. More updates to follow. #Astronomy

Took the new SAL-33 out last night for a test session. The guide numbers were amazing. Well worth the wait. I still need to learn more about NINA before I'm 100% comfortable with it. But it's only a matter of time. 🙂

My new telescope mount will be arriving tomorrow. That means it's time to learn N.I.N.A. and OnStepX. I have heard it's a bit of a mess. But both are very capable once everything is dialed in. If any of you have any tips, let me know. The new mount is the MLAstro SAL-33.

Flock takes their privacy very seriously. But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways. Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

I think it's safe to say that Flock Surveillance is now a universally hated company. That is a good thing.

While Flock likes to say that it is a transparent surveillance company and that it cares about “accountability” and “governance,” some of its customers believe its use should be kept secret. www.404media.co/do-not-menti...

During IFT-4 I was able track an intact SpaceX Starship at engine shutdown from Florida for the first time. I recently learned how to do flat field calibration within DaVinci Resolve. I reprocessed the footage and even found additional frames of Starship, here it is at 50% speed.

The LAPD has stopped working with Flock. The police halted the use of Flock AI license plate surveillance cameras, as government officials cite concerns over data privacy. Organizers are demanding the LAPD not find a replacement for Flock, and instead permanently stop the use of these cameras.

This was the result from a test with the CPC EdgeHD. First time ever guiding with an OAG + the Player One 585M. First time using the 0.7x reducer. Sadly, I got screwed over by dew. I had my heaters on full blast and they could only clear half of my corrector plate. 🫤 60 second x 100 frames

I love this narrative. They imagine the left as overly fanatical about Biden as they are about Trump. In reality, I can criticize Biden and there's a lot I didn't like about the guy. But I wonder if you can do the same to Trump when he launches an illegal and offensive war that costs YOU money.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Trump needs to be impeached, removed and arrested. Not only is he committing war crimes on a daily basis he's casually announcing his intent to commit more war crimes on social media, like it's nothing. When will people wake the fuck up and put up a fight against this vile terrorist mutant.

Wealth inequality has never been so bad. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck, 938 billionaires got $1.5T richer in 2025. Justice Brandeis was right: "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

When someone has to misrepresent their opponent’s position, it says more about them than it does about their opponent. It suggests they are unwilling, or unable, to engage with the actual position while finding such laziness acceptable.

The cost of building a new hospital is about $100 million. We're dropping the equivalent of 10 hospitals a day on Iran. Trump decided this war was a better use of taxpayer money than giving Americans health care. It’s not.
