I managed to sneak in a first light for the AT90CFT and my HAE43EC over the weekend. Lots to learn! These pictures were taken almost on a lark, so they are a variable number of 30s frames apiece with manual focusing on the Canon SL1 taken in my severely light polluted Austin TX backyard in between clouds.

Currently listening to the #AmateurAstronomy Digital Voice Net - (which started at 2100EDT and still ongoing) on the #Quadnet Multi-Mode Digital Radio Network. I’m listening via TGIF Talkgroup 320, but there are numerous ways to access the net.

Loki: meow?
Me: Setting up a Mastodon account.
Hazel: meow
Me: I do have another one, @dpnash@mastodon.online, but I post a lot about #Neurodiversity topics, so I'm planning to do more of that here. For one thing, the character limit in posts is larger here, so not only is it a bit easier to post longer-form items, you fuzzballs get to have longer conversations with me.
Loki: *MEOW*.
Me: Oh, right.
- Things I am: #ActuallyAutistic, #LGBTQ+, in a #Polyfidelitous family of 3 older adults and 4 equally awesome (now mostly grown!) children.
- How I pay the bills: #DataEngineering now, #WebDevelopment and #DevOps before that, #Chemistry even longer ago.
- Other things I like: #Cats, obviously. Also #Astronomy (#AmateurAstronomy in particular), #History, #Science, #Books, #HistoricalFiction, #ScienceFiction, #SFF, #Programming, #Hiking, #Nature.
- Some weirder, more specific ones? Fine. #StudioGhibli. Indoor #Rowing. #Languages, currently learning #Spanish and #Latin. I geek out a lot about astronomical data and I maintain a widely-used database of stars (the HYG catalog, and its new extension, the AT-HYG catalog with Gaia data) at https://github.com/astronexus.
Yes, I'm a geek. But you still put up with me, right?
Loki: meow
Hazel: meow
Me: Love you both too.

@panamared27401 I’m doing precisely that at our biweekly public night tomorrow night. We have a Unistellar eVscope 2 and I let guests make their own astrophotos with it. It’s hugely popular. Joins us if you’re ever in this part of the state! #Astronomy #AmateurAstronomy #CVAC #LucileMillerObservatory #LMO #Astrophotography
