Another cloud free day in Scotland let me catch almost 9 hours of this huge and lively prom. Taken with my home made 90mm modded Coronado PST and DMK21 camera. Software: CdC, Eqmod, DSSR, AutoStakkert!, Wavesharp, DVS, Shotcut and Gimp.

How are you using Gimp with this?

[โ€“] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I'm assuming, like the other response said, overlay graphics, but also possibly to animate it.

Probably for making the static overlay graphics, and possibly the clock hands.

Look at this and tell me life couldn't evolve on the Sun, that is a stable structure with reputation patterns, this alone is enough to make Conway's game of Life

They were born in the early days of all things, when even space burned with white hot fire

They persisted, EM fields feeding their core the kaleidoscope soup of nameless plasma and shattered atom hearts and over strange aeons began to learn to shape the fields that fed and flew them

In time as the particle sea began to cool, they found refuge in brief stars larger than solar systems, cavorting and chasing in the balmy updrafts so hot that even helium burns

Now in this cold distant future, where stars are but unreachable cinders, they scrimp and conserve the relatively little time our sun has left to them, some two billion short years hence.

Pray for our star children, we cannot grasp even a fraction of the cosmic empire they have lost

I just finished the last book in The Expanse. This really made me think of the gate builders

E: I should have also said, loved your post!

[โ€“] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, it's been a really low week and knowing you liked my post has been healing for me these two days.

Not enough people engage on lemmy yet and I wanted to be sure you knew that your comment meant a lot to me. I love to write but rarely get any feedback on it.

We know it's life, I can see the souls sucking from the clouds into the inner sun.
