Yes. 88 Octaine is 15% ethonol instead of 10%.

This is why Xfinity just sent me a note saying they're graciously increasing my upload speed to 20mbps. How nice of them. 🙄

Say hello to Mater Tom.

This is the way.

I think so, but I'm not sure how. I think some other phones are compatible and will 'just work' with Google's camera app. Others need some configuration with 3rd party software. I've never done it.

I think this was ~4 minutes worth of exposure time. I took this with my Pixel phone and Google's astrophotography mode, which is part of the Night Sight setting. When the phone realizes it's completely still, like on a tripod, and it's looking at the sky, it gives you the option of taking pictures like this. It actually takes a lot of short exposures and stacks them. It's a very automated process, so there's not much tweaking to do. I do wish they gave the user more control.

The setup for this picture was just my Pixel 6 Pro on a tripod pointing up. :)

That's an airplane traveling though as the exposure was happening.

Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light... Then, you energy.

Our eyes are not nearly sensitive enough to be able to see an image like this. It can only be brought out with a camera and lots of exposure time. This image is over 4 hours of exposure time with a dedicated camera designed for astrophotography. You'll still see amazing things with that telescope! Clear Skies!

Planting grapes and irises, then going to the local Italian restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow, picking up hay for the donkeys. Playing Valheim between all that. 😆

Oh no! What is the Spiffing Brit going to make a new video about?! 🤣

I've been playing a lot of Valheim lately. I run a small server for my family and a couple friends that get on occasionally. We just made our first visit to the mountains, but we made it to the plains first. That was pretty brutal.
