Finally got my first proper shot of the Eagle Nebula (M16)!
This target was a real pain to photograph from my location, because I had to get up at 3 AM and M16 still is pretty low in altitude for me... but luckily a gap in the surrounding trees made this 6x600s stack possible.
Obviously Focus and Guiding are not optimal, this is still work in progress to get fixed.
We had a super fun (surprisingly tiring) afternoon watching the #eclipse. The big zoom lens, telescope, and solar filters worked great. Neighbors came out and we watched the sun spots get covered up. The telescope had enough detail to see the craggily edges of the moon. Milli enjoyed the sun and observed some diffraction from inside. One neighbor said “you have the coolest gizmos on the block!” All things considered, it was a lovely experience, no regrets. #Astronomy#Astro#Eclipse2024
Looking for some feedback from #webdev folks.. I'm experimenting with migrating a #nextjs project to Astro. On paper, the site is a great candidate - content-focused (blog, articles) looking for lighter client experience and better dev experience. https://astro.build/
I have a CMS wired up and have started migrating a couple React components. What gotchas are hiding deeper in this project? Where are the common pitfalls with Astro?
#Bebop is a binary serialization repo, much faster than #json and supports many languages, including #Rust. The documentation also appears to have been created with #Astro, just a nice touch.
