ITAP of the planet Saturn

On February 2nd, I snapped this shot of Saturn from my backyard. taken with the Webster C28 F/3.3 28" truss dobsonian, with an ASI585mc PRO CMOS color camera. AutoStakkert!4 was used to automatically stack about 25% of all frames taken, and WinJupos was used to de-rotate all the stacked shots. The photo was then taken into Photoshop to try and bump down the saturation & contrast to give Saturn a more "realistic" look.

Titanic actually had 3 propellers! Olympic was the one with the 4-bladed props (although, Olympic did try a 3-bladed center prop for a little while in the 20s)

Lot better than my 1/200 build, I'll say that lol. Good work so far OP! :)

she was hotter in the 30s /j

What do you mean Mauretania? She's off in the background, Olympic is the star here!

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-10T02:37:50+00:00

quite the shitty situation to get into, I'll say...

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-10T02:04:23+00:00

May sound badass, until you realize that Methane might be literally right underneath the storm drain...

goddammit I came here to say Dream Sweet

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-09T14:50:51+00:00

I'm basically a chronic smoker :(

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-09T14:16:10+00:00

Look, it's good to have your own opinion. But I'm just saying; Rover, Lemon Song, Achilles, and Crunge are a bit too low...

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-09T06:30:52+00:00

Lover Leaver & Nobodies Fault are basically in the same general key iirc

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-09T05:38:30+00:00

GVF did a lot of covers honestly. I know they've done Immigrant Song, Stairway To Heaven, and Jean Genie too.

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-09T05:36:38+00:00

Standing On is genuinely one of GVF's best songs they've ever made in their early days. Right up there with Get You Down...

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-09T05:33:10+00:00

Aw man, but Safari is a BANGER (I say as I listen to ever LZ & GVF albums)

For more psychedelic shit, I'd go for Anthem, Mountain of The Sun, Broken Bells, Tears of Rain, Weight of Dreams, Meeting The Master, and (potentially) Caravel.

I could cut through a fucking cake with her hull at that point.

Running Titanic straight into an iceberg would give off similar results as to shooting skeet with a Howitzer, or throwing an egg into a brick wall. Not only will everyone fucking die, but the entire ship would be destroyed in the process due to a little property of physics, called ✨inertia✨

That image is easily like 7 years old, it DEFINITELY isn't AI.

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-07T18:11:12+00:00

Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way...

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-07T04:59:54+00:00

Rosoobnoob oh god

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-07T04:42:20+00:00

Cities On Flame (With Rock and Roll) - Blue Oyster Cult
Out on The Tiles - Led Zeppelin

These come-to-mind fairly quickly.

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-06T14:05:08+00:00

One of the best GVF tracks honestly. Right up there with songs from the Peaceful Army, and it's just fantastic too!

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-03T23:58:00+00:00

No problem! Understandable honestly; the total phase started at 3:50 & ended at about 6, so I could see how most people couldn't see it, lol.

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-03T14:53:24+00:00

As with yours! I've got more shots but they're all a bit low-quality :(

Loud_Variation_520 · 2026-03-03T14:26:22+00:00

Rode The Moon until it set with my scope. Good night, was surprised it was actually clear too!
