@mergy I was just thinking that even the yellow artificial line-to-make line looks hokey and on a different vertical plane than the field. Amazon’s snow-game needs some work.
@cobweb I'm sure a scientist will be along to answer, but meanwhile a report from San Francisco, where I've had a camera pointed at T Cor Bor for six months. It's almost out of my night sky now, chasing the sunset and forcing me to point that camera closer and closer to my nemesis streetlight. Here's the best I can get now; looks like I'm down to my last few days or weeks. Come on nova!
@washingtonpost.com I have cancelled my subscription because of your cowardice in not endorsing Harris.

I mistakenly put the fisheye camera in its mount 90º off, so up and down in the image is east-west. I’ll fix it eventually, but it does have the kind of cool effect that the Keogram, which is a vertical slice through the center of each image throughout the night, kind of “follows” the moon as it moves across the sky. Gives it a lighthouse effect. And that’s the most positive thing I will ever say about the moon, which specializes in messing up my photos.

Searchlight sunset in the second image! These four photos taken a minute apart show the sun setting tonight behind the southern slope of @MtDavidson_SF . In the upper-right shot, the sun shines back through a stand of trees, like an orange searchlight. Live shots from this camera at https://paulclanon.com/cloud_cam

@DavidGallagher Looks like they’re at the now Phillip Burton Federal Building in SF, built in 1964.

@cnes 👆 The French space agency CNES has the official account @cnes Here on Mastodon. Not Blueskly, Threads, or elsewhere.

Can we help them grow and reach for the stars?

The sun from earlier this evening, Aug 16.

Got lucky and had just enough of a break in the clouds to get a nice pic.
