What does this mean for my horoscope?
Mostly that it’s still nonsense.
Spoken like a Capricorn
We Capricorns are naturally skeptical of horoscopes.
Spitting hard facts here
Flat Saturn confirmed!
Flat Saturn confirmed!
Flaturn.
Oh my god, in a few years we’ll lose them completely!
I literally just got into astrophotography and found this out pretty recently. Still nice to see, but it does suck that I’ll have to wait a few years to get cooler pictures!
This is just with my phone and an 8" reflector telescope on a manual dobsonian base (touched up in gimp):
Looks great! Do you do image stacking? You might look into that. I did microscope photography and used it, but it’s also used for astrophotography.
Thanks! That image isn’t stacked, but I am just getting into learning about all of that. I think I’m having an issue with clarity (I’m just using my pixel 8 pro and a cheapo phone adapter hooked up to my telescope) so the stacking software I’ve tried isn’t picking up on most frames.
If I have to begrudgingly thank Trump for anything, it’s pushing me to buy a seestar s50 now before prices go up with the tarrifs so I’ll be getting much better images soon! Not for planets though lol It’s mostly for deep space objects.
You can probably get a pretty decent Canon or Nikon SLR for cheap on eBay, especially now that everyone is going mirrorless.
Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to look into that! I know I’ll be somewhat limited with the seestar so it would be nice to have a good camera too.
Super cool!
Nobody warned me that 2018 was the best time to see Saturn!
6 years before the rings are aligned at a good angle to earth again?
More like 7y, most edge view will be Nov 2025 then they’ll slowly come back into view.
It’s close to the moon atm if you have a decent pair of binoculars or a telescope
Where are you from? That can depend on the location.
Location on Earth will change timing for really precise events like occultations. Location on Earth will not affect any DSO’s visual “closeness” to the moon, especially not at the low zoom scale of binoculars. Hemisphere will only change which is on top. At 1/40th the distance to the moon, moving from pole to pole only changes the view the amount standing 1 foot to the left changes the view of an object 40ft away
And the hemisphere.
Difficult to identify one’s location without giving away the hemisphere.
Not if the answer is Perth.
By having the location specified I would know the hemisphere too
Reminded me of this guy.
