Desperately trying to come up with plans to see the aurora tonight, with little success… 🥲

@arroz yeah… I'm probably taking the bike to spanish banks beach and hope for the best

@arroz even if I can't see it much with the naked eye, I should be able to capture it on camera

@arroz yes. All of these places are sadly still within the bulk of the light pollution blob. Another thing I considered is Bowen island, but that also means spending the night… https://www.cleardarksky.com/maps/lp/large_light_pollution_map.html

I've managed to ruin two high quality AIWA "walkmans" by trying to replace their caps. One is totally busted, and the other has problems with its muting circuit that I can't figure out.

I'm considering reverse-engineering its PCB and printing brand new ones, ordering fresh parts, and transplanting the ICs over.

Should be a lot of work, but they barely function anyway.

Managed to catch a just-shy-of-X1-class flare a few hours ago when I put my scope out on the deck.

The complex chaos of magnetic fields — that is much, much larger than the size of Earth — designated as Region 3664 and Region 3668 (center right sunspot smudge) has been spawning a great number of flares recently, flinging an truly stupendous amount of energy and relativistic particles out into the solar system.

If you're curious, the 11ft8(+8) bridge in Durham, NC, is still turning box trucks into convertibles in this year of our lord 2024.

Unpopular opinion: fries are perfect as they are. They don't need hot sauce.

(Guess who didn't order the spicy fries but got them anyway)

@axiixc well yeah, it's some sort of powder. Dunno what it's called, not really into spicy food (clearly)

A day at the aquarium. Starting with some anemone.

a rocky wall covered in large white anemone with pink tipped tentacles
a pink anemone attached to what appears to be a large red bivalve, surrounded by other anemone, slugs, and a model trilobite
a rocky tank completely covered in tiny red anemone with white tentacles

Many tiny and colored fish. Shooting through double glass is always difficult, especially with bright colors. In the last one you can really see the diffractions caused by the glass.

SO. MANY. TINY. POISONOUS. FROGS!!!

An Anthony's poison arrow frog, which is a tiny bright tomato-red frog with white stripes running along its back. it is sitting on a rock, facing away from the camera
A tiny green-and-black poison dart frog, standing on its four legs on a large leaf, walking away from the camera
A Blue poison dart frog, which is a tiny blue frog with many black dots on its back. it is standing on its four legs, inspecting its surroundings

IT KEEPS GOING!

A pair of golden poison frogs sitting on a log, facing each other. the one nearer to the camera is sitting on its back legs with its torso facing directly up, like a dog
A kokoe poison frog, which is a tiny black frog with emerald stripes running along its sides and back, like an amphibian race car. it has its voice pouch inflated
A dyeing/cobalt poison frog, which is a tiny black frog with a lime-green band covering its whole back, sitting on a rock, facing away from the camera

Bought a TC-14EII 1.4x teleconverter for my telephoto lens, and Nikon lists the AF-S 105mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens as compatible but with "AF not possible", which made no sense since it's a very fast lens.

So I connected it to my Z6ii and… it worked fine! Fast AF too! Hmm… Maybe a recent firmware update fixed it?

So I tried on my 2006 F75 film camera and… it also worked!!

What the hell Nikon…

brunoph,

@midendian I think I figured it out! When you zoom all the way in with a macro lens, the f number quickly goes up. So at that focal distance, AF doesn't work as it goes above f/8 when the teleconverter is installed.
