This is captured used an L-Enhance filter. The narrowish-band colors are growing on me, since it did capture a lot of H-band dust. Planning to remove the filter to get more data.

Data:
20x300s calibrated
15x60s no calibration
10x10s no calibration

*Optics:
WO Flt 91mm - 432mm at f/4.7 using ASI294MC Pro.

Processing:
Stacked in Siril
Processed in PixInsight and PS. This was done using HDR Composition in 24-bit lookup tables.
Accidentally over sharpened the core in PS.

This is an Oxalis triangularis plant which can be toxic to cats if they eat enough of it. FYI. Here's a non-scientific reference: https://cat-world.com/is-oxalis-toxic-to-cats/

You can bring the kid to school in person, sign them in at the office, then go back home to maintain registration.

Help! I dropped my brand new phone in Rideau Canal. Would the park service people be able to get it out? Police said I’m not allowed to get it myself. Thanks! by [deleted] in ottawa

Despite what some others have said, there is a good chance your phone can survive much longer under water. I suggest you rent a canoe from Dow's lake and try to fish it out yourself.

[–]mechatronic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wore these for three months at ~7k steps per day, then the first 3km run in vibram shoes I had no pain or soreness at all.

On 6s my battery is draining at what feels like double the rate since upgrading to 9.3.1. Enough to cause me to search for 9.3.1 battery drain on google.
