No moon or clouds last night. I was able to capture the Monkey Head nebula (NGC 2175). It's a little hard to see but if you zoom in, you can see that it looks like a monkey looking down and slightly right. A bit of the suburban light polution is creeping in to the bottom third of the image. Stacked from a little over an hour’s worth of 10 sec. exposures.

A cake, baked properly, shall be covered in a sweet glaze. An anonymous person will misplace the cake only for it to be found outdoors. Rain shall fall and cause the glaze to become liquid.

@jzmurdock Yeah, pretty much.

It makes it difficult to not show it when you're around those people, especially if you've known them for years.

I have an "Oh, OK" attitude with them. When they're making a point that I'm against, I don't argue, I just say "Oh, OK”. It's less rude than "Yeah, whatever” or “If you say so”.

Well, here's a first. Just got a contact with T31TTT on 15m/FT4 without fighting through a pileup. This is a DXpedition on Kanton Island way out in the Pacific, NE of Australia. Band conditions were crap too.

@MelissaBearTrix I think we should be able to charge (or barter with) restaurants when we fix crap like that. I will gladly whip out my screwdriver and repair wobbly tables and chairs if you offer me something in return.
