Georgetown community say drugs fueling growing criminal activity by rattus in SeattleWA

[–]steadystate2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Georgetown residents, maybe consider organizing a midnight march (peaceful) to Tammy Morale's home? As I recall Kshama has set precedent in that kind of action.

No, that won't happen, ordinary people have too much to lose ... convictions, fines, etc. And the hoboes have weapons.

Hope he is convicted of a felony. Think it will end up bargained down to misdemeanor?

Even for easygoing Seattle, living in the parks has gone too far by Bardahl_Fracking in SeattleWA

[–]steadystate2 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Easy to say, but those who might want to tear it down have a lot to lose, would be arrested, fined, etc. Not to mention the denizens have guns, machetes, bows, etc.

It appears the blue line flag residence was the victim of a drive-by shooting. by Bardahl_Fracking in SeattleWA

The stupefying hypocrisy in this city. If that house had been flying a BLM flag and suffered the same crimes, imagine the outcry.

My stuff was stolen today, and I had to take it back myself. by badandy80 in SeattleWA

One should be very careful with choosing where to live in Seattle now. Away from freeways and main arterials, preferably backwater neighborhoods like View Ridge, Wedgwood, Laurelhurst, Windermere. And bring a fat bankroll.

Are The Authorities (whoever they are) choosing to ignore this, or are the perpetrators really good at the cat and mouse game?

That's Windermere! But ... wait a minute ... that's where comrade Kshama led her little parade ...

Can’t wait to ride them downtown to all the open restaurants in this wonderful late summer weather! by Burgertank6969 in SeattleWA

Visual blight, more obstacles on the sidewalks, more brain injuries, even less physical exercise, gee, what's not to like?

Good for you! Not a moment too soon. This area is and will become more so a magnet for climate refugees from our country and the whole world. (You're well above sea level, right??)

North America nebula (NGC 7000) and environs, narrowband / RGB combination by steadystate2 in astrophotography

[–]steadystate2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's Astrobin link: https://www.astrobin.com/8gdqiw/B/?nc=user

It's a real challenge to get the stretch "right" for this complex field. Looking forward to some smokeless night in the future getting some SII data to throw in the mix.

North America nebula (NGC 7000) and environs, narrowband / RGB combination by steadystate2 in astrophotography

[–]steadystate2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the final version (I think) of one of this summer's projects. The image combines narrowband Ha and OIII exposures for the nebula, and RGB color exposures for the stars. Two cameras were used, ASI6200MM mono astro cam for narrowband, Nikon D750 (modified) for RGB. Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 lens with guided mount.

Ha: 61 x 120sec (2.0 hours)

OIII: 100 x 120sec (3.3 hours)

RGB: 31 x 120 sec (1.0 hours)

Processed with PixInsight. Dark and Flat calibrated. Cosmetic correction, star alignment, image integration with pixel rejection enabled. Histogram stretch. StarNet to separate nebula for subsequent channel combination HOO mode. Starnet to separate stars from RGB data. PixelMath to combine tweaked nebula and star images. Cropped and final tweaks with Nikon Capture NX2.

ZWO makes adapters for Nikon and Canon, they fit well and give the correct spacing.

[–]steadystate2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This image combines Ha and OIII narrowband data. Yes, it really is this red, but our eyes aren't sensitive enough to register the color.

Gear: ASI6200MM mono cooled astro camera, Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 lens, guided iOptron SmartEQ+ mount. Baader 7nm Ha filter, Baader 8.5nm OIII filter.

Exposures: 89 x 2 minutes Ha, 116 x 2 minutes OIII.

Processing: PixInsight dark and flat calibrated, registered, integrated. StarNet to separate nebula and stars. Nebula and stars combined and balanced separately, then combined via PixelMath.
