Yes'd. We only have three good measures on the statewide ballot this year: * Amendment 87 - Graduated income tax on high earners * Proposition NN - Increase K-12 funding * Proposition 137 - Increase funding for conservation and wildfire mitigation

I also got a whole bunch last year, though a little more spaced out. Apparently I have to wait until I'm 75 for the RSV (which means I don't have an underlying complication, and for that I'm grateful).

More than 1,700 species are protected under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct — with many more awaiting protections. The Act has saved 99% of species under its care, yet Congress is once again trying to weaken this lifesaving law — this time under the guise of helping renewable energy. Take action 🔗⬇️

I caught a #meteor with terminal flash in timelapse at 5:06am MDT today from Crestone, Colorado USA #astronomy #astrophotography
A bright moonlit scene, Rocky Mountains with snowcap peaks along the horizon, many stars overhead. The main feature is a meteor right of center at a diagonal, roughly pointing at 4 oclock. The meteor has a distinct terminal flash. Above and right is Orion's belt, sword Crop of the meteor, which is pinkish near the head. There's a faint satellite trail above it.

On 29 September the allsky time-lapse picked up the two best looking possible meteors so far. I have a collection of the still images that I am comparing to confirmed meteors to see if I can identify a consistent look of them from the 20 second exposures the allsky takes. #meteor #bolide #meteorite

This is a target I worked on for almost all of September. The Dark Shark Nebula in Cepheus. I think I pushed my DWARF3 to its limit with this, I know I hit mine when editing it. This is 20 hours, 2400 subframes, and multiple editing attempts. #astrophotography #DWARF3
The Dark Shark Nebula is a dark nebula composed of dust that blocks out light. With a small smart telescope like the DWARF3 and bortle 5 skies, even at 20 hours the shape is only faintly visible before editing. After editing you can see the brighter area of dust on the lower right of the image that could resemble a shark. I had someone tell me it looked more like an angry opossum and I can't disagree. The rest of the background has a mix of much lighter dust clouds which adds another level of difficulty to editing. A cropped image with the Shark Nebula filling the lower half of the image. In the dust making up the shark, a bright star shines where an eye would be and a few other brighter stars shine around the outline.

This is a photo of our home planet taken only a few hours ago! So what? We have photos of Earth taken from space every day. Ah, but *this* photo was taken by a spacecraft ON ITS WAY TO JUPITER.
From the source: "Mostly black space, most of Earth visible at the top right of the image. Part of a spacecraft visible on the left."

The first three coyote encounters were in the morning. Then shortly before sunset a group of magpies descended into the clearing near my timelapse rig. A coyote came to investigate shortly therafter. Coyote enters on left, walks to middle of frame, sits a minute and then exits the way it came.

I had at least 4 separate coyote encounters, two in person and two on timelapse yesterday. We also had a rare hawk visit and rare Steller's jay visit.
A coyote in profile view walks through a field of Chamisa, head down slightly as if following a scent.The coyote is turned now and almost facing the camera, head still down as if following a scent.A coyote in profile view walks through a clearing in a field of Chamisa, this time the head is raised and eyes appear closed. The tail is nice and bushy with a black tip. The coat is reddish around ears, scruff, snout and along legs.

The Triangulum Galaxy (M 33). This is a 9 hour 18 minute total capture from seven sessions over this month. I don't know what compelled me to start this when it was still very low in the sky and it was still extremely humid, but it still worked. #astrophotography #dwarf3 #pixinsight #space
A spiral galaxy with bright silver/white arms flecked with purple, pink, red, and light yellow highlights. It is in the middle of a dark sky surrounded by stars with varying brightness. Processed in PixInsight with adjustments using the lighthouse suite.
