There are three things that cannot be easily hidden: The Sun, the Moon, and the Truth.
The following are 2 Simple Truths, 5 Rules of Life, and 3 Bonus Rules:


SIMPLE TRUTH 1:


Lovers help each other undress before sex.

After sex, they always dress on their own.

Moral of the story -- In life, no one helps you once you're screwed.


SIMPLE TRUTH 2:


When a woman is pregnant, all her friends touch her stomach and say, "Congratulations."

But none go up to the man, touch his penis and say, "Good Job."

Moral of the story -- Hard work is rarely appreciated.


FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE:


1. Money can't buy happiness - but it's far more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle.

2. Forgive your enemy - but remember the asshole's name.

3. If you help someone when they're in trouble - they will remember you when they're in trouble again.

4. Alcohol does not solve any problems - but then, neither does milk.

5. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.


BONUS RULES:


1. Condoms do not guarantee safe sex! A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot by the woman's husband.

2. I think all politicians should wear uniforms. You know, like NASCAR drivers, so we could identify their corporate sponsors.

3. Also, all politicians should serve only two terms -- one in office and one in prison.


This was a public service announcement. No need to thank me!!

Have a smile on me. Y’all have a great day

Bwana, that telescope does a HELLUVA lot better than a little Nikon D5600 with a 300mm lens...single photo, 1/800, F13, ISO 100

Your detail of the sun's surface is AMAZING!...yeah, I bet you'll be seeing some big time Aurora's!

Have you done any Aurora photography, to match up with your sunspot photography...
The you can say, "This huge sunspot produced these Aurora Borealis photos".

Kind of a "cause and effect" thing!

Keep em coming! 💪😎👍

Many, many nights of Aurora watching and photography. A few below:

https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-717484-1.html Amazing Aurora. You could hear this one!

https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-786663-1.html Cloudy Aurora
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-803651-1.html Boring Aurora

And I could go on and on...

As for a correlation between Auroras and solar activity, I don't know if there is much. Some of the best Auroras simply came out of nowhere and a lot of forecast Aurora activity falls flat on its face.

I shot two 1000 frame video sessions of Ol' Sol this afternoon with a QHY 715C astro-cam, Astro-Tech 65EDQ scope, Herschel Prism and Solar Continuum filter on an Evolution mount; one without a PowerMate and one with a 2.5x PowerMate.

Processed the videos in PIPP to select the best 15 frames from each video then manually selected the best of each.

This region is just jumping with CME's and magnetic decoupling. Keep an eye open for Auroras. These sunspots regions are already causing havoc with radio communications on Earth.

Open the Download for the full sized images. Earth has been added for size reference.

Enjoy!

Headline in today's paper -

"Kingston firefighters free two teens stuck in baby swings at Block Park"

"The post said firefighters were called to the park on Abeel Street for reports that two teenagers had got stuck in hard plastic baby-style swings intended only for small children."

The human brain doesn't mature until sometime in the 20's. Often a lot later!

I'm a nature lover and all the magnificent sights it has to offer. But there is none so beautiful, in my opinion, as a young almost perfectly formed female in the nude.

Notice I did not say any female form, as some have taken to posting cringe inducing overweight elderly ladies too.
Nothing wrong with either, it's just I don't enjoy seeing them on display.
(yes, I too am elderly, but not overweight {ugh} That is totally within your own control)

With the past few days postings it appears this site needs to be re-named: "Guns and Ammo and BTW a Few Words About Photography".

How has this happened? Aren't the editors reviewing postings any longer?

For we photographers it is a waste of bandwidth.

Totally agree and all from someone in Idaho. About every 3rd or 4th post on the forum.

I read that calibrating a zoom lens is only good at the focal length where it was calibrated. Is that correct?

Go mirrorless and forget about calibration!

While getting my car inspected, I walked over to look at the horses. I don't know if they actually bite. I wasn't able to convince the little boy to try petting them.

Horses definitely bite! I helped an uncle of mine break Shetlands when I was a teenager. I still have the scars from horse bites 70 years later!

I want to take pictures of birds…and night sky. Will p&s be enough, or do I need multiple lenses?

I have the Sony RX10 IV and an A7R V with Sony's FE200-600 lens. Both have their place. The RX10 IV is my grab-n-go camera and a whole lot lighter than the A7R V combo. The A7R V combo can be handheld but a lot easier to use from a tripod.

Both of the above can produce some darn nice wildlife pictures. The RX10 IV is not a low light camera. I use the A7R V for low light and astrophotography on a regular basis and it excels at it.
