Someone posted a video a week or two ago about black holes, their mass and size. Space is incredible. I think the biggest black hole they showed in that video was the mass of 30 billion of our Sun, and dwarfed our entire galaxy.

When I think about space and what’s out there.. we are so insignificant. There HAS to be intelligent life out there. There’s too much possibility for Earth in the Milky Way to be the only intelligent life in the universe.

Its depressing to think about because in the grand scheme of things, what does my life matter? My entire bloodline isnt even a blink of the eye in the timeline of our cosmos, or our planet for that matter.

Someone has to be first. Maybe it's only empty because you haven't filled it yet! There. Now you matter. Go fill the universe!

This was an incredibly calm day leading into Belfast in a very busy shipping channel. Not a ripple 😎

Looking through old snorkeling photos. Here's a few more. Amazing visibility in the first one, sometimes easily 30+ meters.

Nice, how far underwater do you dare go while snorkeling? My record is 41 feet at some cliffs in Maine.

Late to the party, but reminds me of my trip to Ginny's Springs in FL. The river was typical black / low vis, but the springs themselves are clearer than any clean pool I've been in, you can see like forever.

Sorry for the shiatty video still, but I never use the pic function underwater.

Less than 41 feet that's for sure. I had a picture where the camera said 30 feet, but I don't know if that was accurate. Felt like forever to get back up, so I usually stay way above that :)

Random snorkeling picture of a symbiotic relationship. The shrimp (in the middle) digs while the fish stand guard. In case of danger, they all retreat into the burrow. The fish get a free burrow, and the shrimp gets an early warning system.

This is Messier M94 a spiral galaxy located approx 16 million light years from earth.

Looks like I posted this last May for the 1st time. I've been going back through a few of my first posts and collecting more images as my health/the weather/wind allow.

As always this was processed using Siril , Starnet ++, GraXpert and GIMP , all 100% free software.
Images taken from a ZWO SeeStar S50.


I have it a little over exposed to help bring out some of the wispy parts of the spiral arms.

M13 or NGC 6205 is a cluster of several hundred thousand stars. Estimated to be 145 light years in diameter , it is located 25,000 light years away from earth.

Processed Using Siril, & GraXpert.
Since this is all stars, I could not use Starnet ++ it removed well everything!

Imaged with ZWO Seestar S50

M42 - (The Orion Nebula) is a diffuse nebula located approx. 1,344 light years from Earth and is visible to the naked eye due to its brightness.

Processed using Siril, Starnet ++, GraXpert and taken with a Seestar S50. This is stacked from a little over 3 hours of images.

DSLR connected to telescope is my guess.

Never mind its an AIO telescope and camera. It probably tracks the stars you want to shoot so you get those long exposure stacks?

OK guys I put the whole process in the comment on every shot. It's from a ZWO Seestar S50 like mkopec mkopec shows, but I stacked the shots myself using the software I listed. Incidentally , all the software I use is free. You can use the Seestar app to get photos , and it stacks but doesn't do as good a job.
