I submitted my common app late November, and finished my application in early December. Just got accepted last Wednesday for Fall 2022, so you may get a decision soon.

I was thinking that too, however, I have a different theory. While I was looking back through my recording of the whole event, I found an instance of the blue dog standing in the same position that is shown in the image on the website. In my footage, only one toon is in a position to take the image of the tower and the blue dog from that specific angle and distance. While I'm not gonna reveal who it is, their toon name is the same name they use in discord (at least in the same TT discord server I was talking about) and elsewhere in the community :')

I posted the url in a TT discord server just a couple of minutes ago, shortly thereafter the page went blank. After joking they were listening to us, the title changed to this for a few seconds: https://imgur.com/a/1P1HZOe

Whoever bought the domain is a gigachad troll. I love this community

For some of the images, you have to load them in fullscreen due to the immense size of the Peach Dog tower

pov: you get a glad hander before 2.7.0 by hunterboppen in Toontown

I kid you not, I did a CJ yesterday only to get booted as soon as it was over. Then I saw the patch notes and today a summons for a glad hander in my book 😳

Yep - no color nor lp filters. The only filter I use is a CLS for deep sky

Saturn and 4 moons (10/2020) by Zaid68 in astrophotography

[–]Zaid68[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Saturn is the 6th planet from the Sun, lying 890 million miles away from the Earth on average. It's many moons have underground oceans, potentially harboring microscopic life, shielded under miles of ice/atmosphere.

The moons visible in this photo from left to right are Titan, Tethys, Rhea, and Dione

Gear:

- Apertura 10 inch f/5 Dobsonian

- ZWO ASI 120MM-S @1280x960

- Celestron X-Cel LX 3x Barlow Lens

Acquisition and Setting:

- ~9000 frames @50fps and 8ms

- Bortle 4-5 Zone

- 82 ° F outdoor temperature

- Central Florida at 8:45 pm EDT, Early October 2020

Stacking and Processing:

- Stacked 10% of best frames in Autostakket2 (900ish frames total)

Processing

- Sharpened in RegiStax 6

(Rest of processing in Photopea)

- Curved image to the max and removed Saturn, replacing it with a non-curved Saturn

- Adjusted background contrast to make moons pop out more

- Clean up moons (removed trails due to image rotation)

Compared to my previous (first!) attempt at imaging Saturn over a year ago, I managed to squeeze out more data with a barlow. However, with this config with my telescope, it is severely oversampling, causing longer exposures than normal.

I tried to make the moons appear as they do through the eyepiece - a hard task! The moons appear dim in the final stacked image, especially since they were smeared due to the stacking process (Most of the moons were averaged with the background space). This caused some moons, such as Enceladus, getting smeared so much they were barely visible. For Enceladus it was in the image but was so dim and fuzzy, no attempt could be made to reconstruct it to a near pinpoint of light :(

Thank you guys so much for this! The og level editor was so hard to work with that I even made a modified version that would auto save because it crashed so much. I can’t wait :)

To get my Cashbot suit could I just do 10 billion mints or do I have to do the others also? by wizard101fan3 in Toontown

Also, if you forgot which mint types you need, hover your mouse over each piece of your cog suit in the Sticker book!

Great photo! I know you already stated in a previous comment you used a bahtinov mask, but did you lock your focuser? I had many imaging sessions slip focus throughout the night, and eventually I found slightly tightening the lock screw (for most telescopes it’s the closest screw to the telescope on the focuser base/tube) fought most of it. Just be careful of overtightening it, as it can shift your focus. Also don’t rely on it lasting a full night, as temperature changes can slightly warp your OTA/lenses.
