Don't make me say it...

Leady i used to run a pretty large Minecraft server network. KitPvP, PotPvP, HC Factions, Factions, Prison, and heavily developed minigames do really really well. Unfortunately basically all of these require a ton of work put into them. You need builds, plugins (custom or paid for), and someone to go in and really just configure everything. If you guys need any help/ideas hmu i know a lot of the exploits etc as well that come with running a hub server.

Well, to be totally honest never did i expect for my little beginner Astrophotography set up ever to be able to perform like it just did tonight. The image i'm about to share has plenty of flaws (because my dumb ass didn't realize my telescope was dirty until too late) BUT! This image had me just sitting there staring for i don't know how long counting the sheer mind numbing amount of galaxies... I present my attempt at photographing a part of our Galactic neighbors! Most people don't know this but our galaxy is one of 1,800 other galaxies residing in what we call a cluster. Our little cluster of galaxies is just part of what is called a supercluster which is made up of hundreds of thousands to millions to even BILLIONS of other galaxies ranging hundreds of millions of light years across. But enough of the science lecture... here are our galactic neighbors... The Virgo Cluster (I counted 32 individual galaxies in this photo! Post below how many you can count!!!) By the way i'm thinking about doing a subscription kinda thing. Basically if you want send me a pm and anytime i post a new photo i can @ you at the bottom so you get a notification or you can hit the follow button up at the top of this thread!

Everyone hide your E-girls before Edge comes in snatching nudes for promos. @Kelly run!!!

Well tonight i selected a new target knowing that it was going to be a difficult target to shoot properly without any filters and unfortunately it didn't go quite as well as I hoped. But I guess i'll share since I guess i'm turning this thread into more of a "progress" and "learning" thread since if I only uploaded really good content this thread would be empty except for the first post. Unfortunately in this image i was shooting over a street lamp and it totally fucked me... but oh well heres... The Rosette Nebula 40 x 1 minute exposures ISO 1600 Lights, Darks, Flats, and Bias frames all stacked in DeepSkyStacker

I decided to spend a few more hours of editing and finished with this... still not happy... think i'm going to shelf the Orion Nebula since it's really only in the sky high enough to shoot for about an hour each night and start prepping for Andromeda, Heart and Soul Nebula, and if i end up getting another telescope in time possibly some smaller galaxies. The Orion Nebula and the Running Man Nebula ISO 800 3 Images stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop. *edit* Reprocessed the image and it looks 100x better now.

Wellp, I had kind of a rough two nights trying to get something spectacular with my new telescope and mount. Unfortunately my plans for both nights were kinda fucked over by the fact my dumb ass #1 couldn't figure out why i couldn't see shit through my polar scope and spent 3 hours pissed off and sweating outside taking a part and re-assembling my mount, and #2 i totally forgot we are in that weird transitional period of Nebula season and Galaxy season... so enough of my rambling here is probably the last photo of the Orion nebula for this year. Images 3 (Because fucking tree got in the way) Fuck you tree I hope you burn 😡 ISO 800 30 second exposures (1m30s total image time) William Optics SpaceCat 51 Telescope iOptron Smart EQ Pro+ mount Canon Rebel EOS T3i DSLR Unfortunately not enough time in Photoshop... looking at this photo pisses me off the longer i work on it since i spent about 6 hours on it now if you combine the time it took to get those 3 images and reducing noise, color balancing, and the annoying ass smudge on my telescope i some how got when focusing that i had to fix. BUT I am extremely excited about the stars being so round and pristine and the amount of nebula i was able to capture compared to my first attempts.

Nah just you are actual trash and trying to comment on shit you and your cheating friend should be banned on.

Lmao that's rich "WAHHH YOU BANNED MY BUTT BUDDY KING FOR CHEATING WAAAAH" Stfu you dumb cunt.

Yeah because shooting someone in the back when they still have a black loading screen and don't even see their character yet means you are good at the game.

It's ok he will just wait til you aren't looking or just camp Air HQ for you to get on cop and shoot you in the back of the head like the rat he is. Ask @DarkKnight the dude never plays fair he will wait for the most annoying possible time to fuck you over.

This is a mosaic taken by NASAs Hubble Telescope in one of the darkest patches of the night sky... every single thing you see in this photo is another galaxy except for a couple of stars.

Which one? The most recent wasn't taken by me but by a Youtuber name Peter Zelinka i posted it as a preview for the new telescope i just bought for imaging. But yes they are extremely mind boggling. Galaxies really trigger that sense of being tiny for me. Just imagine every star we can see in the night sky is in our own galaxy EVERY SINGLE ONE, and we can't even see most of the stars in our galaxy they are just too small, too dim, too far away, or obstructed from view by the galactic core. But when we take photos of Andromeda, The Whirlpool, Spindle, Black Eye, etc it's just a whole new perspective of just how small we are in this huge huge universe.

Just a quick update... after cancelling our vacation due to coronavirus concerns I decided to put some of the money I saved towards my new found astrophotography hobby... I hope to be posting some truly stunning photos here soon for those who care I puchased a William Optics SpaceCat 51 APO Refractor. Here is an example of the Orion Nebula (the object i have been photographing with just a camera and lense) through the SpaceCat51/RedCat51 Credit goes to Peter Zelinka for his photo of Orion and the Running Man/Horsehead Nebulae: So excited!!!

Damn the F*ck the Police skin used to be one of my favs to wear as an UC.

I can see it now... You're on your way to Athira rebel to grab mags or something and get domed by some rando with a pistol and he disarms you? Oh i'd be fucking PISSED.

China not number one anymore now is it? @YuSheng

I was wrong about what he said lmao that was someone else my b.

First off, just because you played the role for cash doesn't mean everyone does. If you camp in Kavala hitting up everyone with a 1k+ bounty for cash then that's you. Most of the people who actually play cop though play way different. They patrol, respond to 911s, and are constantly in a fight losing money. The people who play cop solely for money most of the time get kicked off pretty quickly anyways for one reason or another. Look at @Jake when he was an LT he lost like 2m+ just by playing and i had to give the dude cash for redgull because he had like $5 in his bank. Also you talk about 250k as if that's a lot of money... do a meth run sometime. When my old gangs used to run Meth we would make like 180k ea for 30-45 mins of work.

Alright... so here is a more final image after a good amount of time in Photoshop trying to color correct, stack, and eventually major noise reduction. I'm a lot more proud of this one even though I still have a bit of star trailing (just can't be helped until i get a star tracker and better tripod) The Orion Nebula 12 images stacked and processed (taken in class 6 skies on 3/14/2020)

I thought children couldn't get sick? Guess doesn't count if you're only a child mentally jk jk.

This is one of the pictures i took after running it through Photoshop with very basic changes mostly to darken the back ground and brighten the stars and nebula a bit.
