I truly hope the starship program succeeds just so he can fuck off to mars already

Got a training workshop most of the day Saturday, but Saturday night is bad movie night (we’re watching Ben and Arthur), and then I’m doing jack shit on Sunday and sleeping in

Phenomenal season all around! Can’t wait for season 3 where Nathan breaks down communication barriers between surgeons and anesthesiologists /s

If you still wanna check a website, I highly recommend heavens-above. The daily predictions for brighter satellites page on there is also great for seeing what will fly over on any given night (and the path across the star maps are accurate to help spot satellites!)

That stripe might be some glare/light leak. Does it show up in any of your calibration frame stacks if you crank up the contrast on those?

Any processing done to this?

No eclipse glasses needed for this one!

Tonight, a total lunar eclipse will be visible from all of North and South America (except of course where I am, which is cloudy). The full eclipse begins at 06:26 UTC on the 14th, and will last for about an hour. The partial phases before and after this are also cool to watch. If you've never seen a lunar eclipse before, I highly recommend setting an alarm for tonight and at least going out and taking a peek at it (The next lunar eclipse visible from North America is in 2026.) Light pollution does NOT matter for a lunar eclipse, as long as you have a clear view of the moon in the sky.

Here's a good site with time zone conversions, as well as specific alt/az numbers for your location: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2025-march-14

Please keep our community rules in mind when sharing your eclipse pics (titles, acquisition/processing info, etc). I can't wait to see what everyone is going to capture! (definitely try out some HDR stuff if you can!)
