Perl regex engine is my totem animal.

Тем временем производители: о, плохого пиара не бывает, выпустим литиевую смазку, но назовём её WD-40 (specialist), чтобы интернеты вообще разорвало в вопросе "Чем смазывать шпингалеты дома?" Кстати, лучшие в мире шпингалеты делаются на фабрике №3, по адресу: ул. Цурюпы, 15.

RepairCafe: Saturday, Aug 30, 11:00. 13:00 (shorter closing time) at Potsdam SLB. Come bring your curiosity and your broken devices. We can tinker together, maybe successfully, maybe not, but it should be fun either way. We speak German, English, Russian.

Same data, but also first ever attempt at re-mastering things with PixInsight. It is a powerful tool with a steep learning curve, but payoff is worth it. I can see why people pay 300+ EUR for it.

Living in Germany is: "${a_common_thing_germans_do} ist strafbar and können teuer werden"

This is the most recognized feature of which is Pillars of Creation:

Let's go, first ever nebula on this imaging rig. No real set up, 30 minutes integration time through an open window from inside my apartment in Bortle 6 skies.

Caught in the middle of a political battle, @BlackRock reaffirmed its focus is helping millions of Americans save for retirement. They warned that injecting politics from either side risks undermining financial performance.

This is the original resolution close up from *the same image*, just so you can appreciate how detailed that image is. I ballpark about ~0.25"/px, ~550 km/px. Oh my, oh my.

First attempt at Sun mosaic in white light: 20x panel mosaic with imperfect stitching gives 8K full Sun disk image. I made a few acquisition mistakes, which means it could be even better! Ohhhh. The compressed / downsampled preview here does not do it justice:

"Господи, помоги мне выжить среди этой смертной любви" (с).

(квотом, потому что реплаи закрыты) Честно говоря, об этом большими буквами часто пишут, а то и в каждом файле. Просто это мало кто читает, потому что кому ж понравится, когда лицензия на тебя орёт?

Hitting 15K would be exciting, because this will allow (. smashes the calculator. ) 1.25 meter posters at 300 dpi. Which would be real nice somewhere in my apartment.

First and not very successful Moon 8x mosaic. Mis-configured the mosaic planner, so incomplete disk was captured. But this theoretically allows 7K pixel wide disks! With more shots and 2x resampling, up to 14K pixels wide? Gotta try it next. Downsampled to 2K here for preview:

Pro-tip: If you are from confrontational culture, write public things as if you write them to your past, current, and future self. (*). (*) Unless you hate yourself. Awkward.

I am pretty sure a lot of folks who endorse the style of recent Linus' LKML reply would feel very uncomfortable on the receiving side of it. Common rationalizations: a) I never make mistakes, so no one would do that to me; b) I would deserve it if it happens. Both are false.

Same technique applied to Moon (4Kx4K MONO8 frames, 30 GB) allows enough lucky frames for 2x resampling during stacking, taking 50+ cpu-hours. Again, this is the largest full-disk Moon I got, 4K in diameter. Down-sampled here for preview:

Largest capture (8Kx4K frames, 120 GB) with lots of high-quality lucky frames allows for 2x resampling during stacking, taking 100+ cpu-hours. This is the highest resolution full-disk Sun I got in white light so far, measuring 4K pixels in diameter. Down-sampled here for preview:

First lightly processed results look very promising!

I know it sounds implausible, but I got overran by a herd of alpacas. This was so unexpected that it did not occur to me to take a photo, just imagine this one superimposed with the photo above: -- I forgot there is an alpaca breeder nearby.

I hope you are not sitting with a computer on a warm summer Saturday? (On this photo: sitting with a computer on a warm summer Saturday)
