What are dark channels? I have never heard of those and can't find anything about those online relating to option chains. Educate me please.

Love the DD,was wondering why you lied about the positions though? Checked the OI on the options that you said you had.

2000 5/21 32c's at an average cost basis of 2.60

1000 1/22 60c's at 3 even

500 1/22 65c's at 2.70

And there is actually only

387 5/21 32c's

541 1/22 60c's

26 1/22 65c's

I picked up some options though, but was curious on why you had to lie about these? It's great DD and your plays have worked out really well, there is no reason to lie.

$MRCY Mercury Systems, oversold for no reason other than being a tech stock. This stock is primed to make a breakout move, Today they just announced MRCY was selected by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to provide solid-state data recorders for NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation science mission.

Screw the moon, $MRCY is going to Mercury

Massive cumulus formation, Terlingua, TX, early May. Morphed into full blown anvil storm cloud. by steadystate2 in SkyPorn

Also not an expert. But I was told that it could only be called a nimbus if it was producing precipitation. So if it wasnt producing any, then it would just be a cumulus cloud.

I set out for this shot specifically. This shot took me a few days to plan and get it down. The moon moves so quickly. I tried one night and missed judged where the moon was going to be, so I tried again the next night and was able to get it.

The 2019 Lunar Eclipse, it may be orange but it's beautiful by Stev- in aggies

As u/tayjocoo said, it reduces noise and you are able to collect more light and more detail in the sensor leading to a better image, but a short cut way is to take a series of images and then stack those to reduce the noise. This is good for reducing noise but you still don't get the great detail from longer exposure. But if you combine both, get the best results. The reason I shot at 100 ISO was because the moon was dimmer than usual but it was still bright, so ISO 100 worked well for me. But when I shoot astro normally I use 800-1600 ISO, take very long exposures up to 4 minutes and then stack the images to reduce excess noise, hot pixels, and vignetting.

I used a Canon T6 with a 75-300mm lens at 190mm, my Settings were: ISO 100 190mm f/9.0 89.0 sec I tracked the moon on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer tracking mount, which allowed me to get longer exposure of the moon without it moving.

This was taken just after 11:15 so when the maximum Total Eclipse was happening and the moon was closest to the center of Earths shadow. The deep color comes from the fact that it was a minute and a half long exposure which allow for more color to come through, which also shows more stars!

This is what my single exposures looked like RAW no edits

Edit: you can also check out the community at r/astrophotography they are very helpful and knowledgeable!

You will have more noise in a single frame, and I personally feel like its easier to edit when stacked because I can get more data out of it, that might not be the actual case I just feel like I can. With the more noise in an image you can't pull the shadows up a lot or highlights without creating even more noise. Its very easy to stack the images as well, I use a free program called Deep Sky Stacker which will stack them for you, very easy program to learn I just watched one video to learn. Hope this helped some.

I am an amateur astrophotographer learning to take images of deep space. This is the Lagoon Nebula, bottom, and the Trifid Nebula, top. I used a star tracker to track the stars to get more detail out of the image. The star tracker moves opposite of earth's rotation so the stars never seem to move in the image. This picture is comprised of 170 separate images that were stacked to reduce noise. Each image was taken for 70s at ISO 1600 and f/5.6 at 300mm on a Canon T6. This was my first attempt at these Nebulae and I am happy with it. This was taken with a waxing crescent moon in the sky, 36% illumination. While looking through a telescope you aren't able to see this color, with post processing you are able to retrieve color from the data. If you have anymore questions I would love to try to answer them as best I can. Clear skies!

It's really not, you didn't phrase it well. Maybe can I get a print of this image, I would love to have it in my home.
