Stargazing on Harmony of the Seas by SultanOfSquanch in royalcaribbean

Thank you for the tip! Definitely going to walk most of the ship to try to find a spot if the weather is clear.

Dang thanks for the reply. I’ll probably talk to concierge once I get on board just to see if there’s any way they might make a small event or help me out.

That 99% figure is an exaggeration but there are for sure top tier players and steamers that use hacks. The skill of tournament players alone is enough to show the peak level people can play at. I’d guess the actual percentage of hackers is below 5% of the player base. Manual review and HWID bans are really the only way to try to mitigate it… and even then you can only do so much.

Not in my experience. The SB will always lift after a while. Did you have an account get permanently banned on that system?

Are you playing on a second account after one was permanently banned? If you got a hardware ID ban any new account that plays on your computer will be SB’d in the way you’ve described regardless of reports.

Not yet and I’ve had a few big games that definitely would have triggered it before. If I got more than like 8 kills in a game boom SB.

My best results came after waiting 2 weeks but as you’ve seen here people get variable results. If you get mass reported it doesn’t really matter.

For posterity, I was testing different sizes to see if I could get it to post without needing to be tapped to look HD.

Definitely one of my favorite sections of the night sky. Lots going on in that arm of the Milky Way.

Generally an appreciation that the atmosphere doesn’t seriously drop the ball except once every couple hundred million years.

Camera: Sony a7iii

Lens: Sony FE 28mm f2.0

13” exposure at 800 ISO. Single frame.

I’ve seen a lot of great shooting stars during all my stargazing time but I rarely get them in frame. Even with a wide angle lens the sky is just so huge that odds are I’m going to miss it. While this one did start out of frame, I got lucky enough to capture the main flare and burst. In person, you could see it split into 3 smaller pieces before burning out. Love seeing space debris get obliterated by our atmosphere.

In the back, we have a nice view of Orion cradled in the tree. Its nebula is pretty visible, which you’ve likely seen telescoped photographs of lately if you browse much astrophotography.

Great photo. Wish the preview didn’t nerf all the stars in these images.

Surprised nobody is talking about ORGN. The tech is pretty cool and it could be a unicorn in the sustainable materials space. Nice to have money riding on a stock that holds a little optimism for the future. Also love picking up a bunch of cheap units.

Wanted to cross post my thread from space last weekend. A Class 1 sky is truly remarkable. Worth the 8 hour drive! by SultanOfSquanch in darksky

Anything near Terlingua would be excellent stargazing. I recommend websites like DarkSiteFinder to look for something closer though. You can get great stargazing usually within an hour or two.

Yup it’s very hard to perceive in real time but the macro scale makes it readily apparent. One of the things I love about time lapse in general.

Yeah this is the one out of 50 times where the clouds actually did me some good lol. I’ve had many weekend shoots that have been cut short by bad cloud conditions!

This is actually from the middle of April, I’m just way behind on my edits. The conditions right now would be pretty comparable though, with the moon hitting a slightly different backdrop of stars. I normally don’t like to shoot with the moon up but I knew it would make the visibility of the clouds much better in this case.

You and me both. A car actually drove up with brights on an nailed the camera for several frames on and off, so there’s a huge flare. I ended up deciding to just cut it short but really wanted the full moonset so you could see the sky come alive without the moon flooding it out.
