Have you ever seen an #astrophotography image where something looked off, like an oddly large #Moon or the #MilkyWay where it shouldn't be?

I just wrote an article in the ESO #blog explaining some methods and tools you can use to find out if these images have been doctored.

Check it out: https://www.eso.org/public/blog/csi-astronomy/

Going back through my favourite pictures of 2023 for my end of year countdown. Found this one from the incredible auroral display of 27/28 February. This is a 2 second exposure taken at 01:47am #aurora #auroraaustralis #NewZealand

@iangriffin Not sure why there is a Content Warning on this picture. Unintentional error?

Looking to buy another external drive 1TB or 2TB.

I have to keep a permanent records of the materials/images used to create my novels and low content books for legal purposes.

Recommendations would be appreciated.

@60pencilgirl Just bought a Samsung T7 Shield, highly rated.
SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD seem to suffer sudden failures, according to many reports and a lawsuit is seeking class action status.

@iangriffin Very cool! A smooth, subtle and relaxing animation.
Wondering about the workflow to go from individual timelapse photos to the final GIF.

@nathanlovestrees For a brief moment I thought I was reading "Snakes On the Bite Trail"...

I took this shot of a monorail dashboard in Disneyland’s monorail station and now I want to figure out what every stat means

@mathowie I love how TBD remains the last one To Be Defined

I have decided that from now on, in my personal notes I’m now calling “action items” “quests” because it’s more fun.

@alexstandiford And daily life triggers so many "side quests" :)

@iangriffin Now that's a different take of an iconic place. Well done!
