  1. I like the Angel Bunny rank. I'm just glad it's not one of those creepy rabbits from the movie Watership Down. :sealed:

      It's quite fitting for Nightmare Night, considering how there are two sides to him! :P

      And I'm waiting here till I level up my rank from Cupcake. lol.

      I know how you feel.

  4. Crap! I totally misjudged the position of the Moon! I can't find Uranus because the moonlight drowns it out. :unamused:

    At least I was able to get a decent Mars image. Next time.

      I hope you can get an image of it soon! :fluttershy: And at least you got some images! :kindness:

      I felt the same way with Jupiter the other night... >_>

      @Tacolantern, luckily I have plenty of time for Uranus. It's not going anywhere in a hurry. lol. Can't say the same for Mars. It's tiny compared several months ago. 

      *I misspelled your name again :laugh:

      @Celtore, lol. I'm pretty sure the neighbors heard me thru the woods. :lie:

  5. Clear skies tonight?

      Dang, that sucks. :(

      It's clear and the seeing conditions are decent. I'm currently waiting on the mirror to cool down on my dob. Gonna take a shot at imaging one of the ice giants. Probably Uranus, since it's a bit easier to find.

    3. Celtore

      Celtore

      Lucky!... And that's awesome! Will you share it with me if you successfully image it? The furthest planet I've seen in our solar system so far is Saturn.

    4. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      Sure!

      I imaged Uranus and Neptune a few weeks ago with the Celestron C8. No detail can be seen. Just the color and disk. I have a thread in the Nonpony Art section with my previous images if interested.

  6. Every time I try to mention you, I keep typing your old user name. :muffins:

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I can't blame you – the new name looks weird even to me! :laugh: The old name will be back in four days – so I hope no one gets too used to this one! :twismile:

    2. RDDash

      RDDash

      Tacodidra, yeah that name is iconic

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      @R.D.Dash Thanks, my friend! :D I've got so used to it, being called something else (even a variation) feels so weird! It's a good thing I did this so close to Nightmare Night – just a week of using a different name. :P

  7. Mirrors are aligned and ready for nightfall. Clear skies thanks to the lovely Vapor Trail.

      Vapor Trail is like one of my top 5 favorite ponies! :D

      @Tylad, Vapor Trail earned a spot on my favorites list. She's sweet enough to move clouds out of the way, when Rainbow Dash is busy napping on the job. :catface:

      She's awesome!

  8. What a lovely morning! Clear skies are in the forecast tonight. I think I will setup my large telescope and have a look at one of the ice giants.

    Vapor Trail is my favorite pony for today. Thanks for clearing the skies! :-D

      @TwilySparky, she sure is!

      @Moonlit Mane, Good morning! Clouds are sneaky, especially when there isn't much light pollution. The clouds are pretty dark around here except in the lower eastern portion of the sky. They have a faint orange glow there.

    3. Tacodidra

      Good morning! :fluttershy: I hope the day keeps being good for you! :kindness:

      @Tacolantern, Good morning! I wonder if there's a Vapor Trail coffee mug?

      Not that I need to buy another pony mug or anything. :mlp_please:

      Yayy!! Vapor Trail accepted the job! 

      But can she clear them out as fast as Rainbow Dash? :huh:

      @Phosphor270 Possibly, we can only believe! :muffins:

  11. Love the new Flutterbat banner! 

  12. That shrimp and fish poboy hit the spot! Pretty sure a turtle can now move faster than me. 

    1. Twilight Luna

      Twilight Luna

      I love me some shrimp with Old Bay.

  13. I need sleep. Good night everypony! :orly:

      I wish the moon always be full & bright and you always be cool & right. Whenever you go to switch off the light, remember that I’m wishing you …Good Night!:mlp_yay:

      Good night, my friend! :fluttershy:

  14. It has been raining all day, so no astronomy for me. :mellow:

    Cute pony videos it is!

     

    1. Twilight Luna

      Twilight Luna

      I’m sorry to hear that. It’s supposed to rain here all weekend. Not looking forward to it. 

      Cute pony videos are fun to watch. How about a smile song?

    When you gonna fix that larger telescope in the barn?

    1. Props Valroa

      Hah, it ain't fixed, but what is fixed is my love for this place.

  16. Ever watched any of the Sonic Shorts?

      I also like the Sonic Mania Adventures, tho I haven't watched all of them yet. The art style is pretty cool!

       

    3. DivineMist1000

      DivineMist1000

      I love those shorts too. This need to be a full TV Show! I'd even buy YouTube Red to watch this!

    4. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      I agree. I would much rather Sega continue the Mania Adventures, rather than a live action movie.

  17. Good night everypony!

      Yeah, radio's an interesting choice... Something like this is probably more my style :P

  19. Happy Birthday! :balloon:

    1. Wannabrony

      Wannabrony

      Thank you very much! :squee:

  20. I can't wait til Freedom Planet 2 comes out! The first game was awesome. 

    Oh and Lilac is so adorable! :wub:

     

  21. I love it when Rarity is being overly dramatic. :laugh:

     

    1. The Recherche

      The Recherche

      Why, that is one of her primary perks, after all. :D Though I must admit that i admire Rarity in some capacity... I certainly withhold and drama within me, and I believe my peers are grateful.

    2. Castle Bleck

      Castle Bleck

      I.e., herself? :laugh:

  22. I would love to be able buy one of these cameras for planetary imaging. Sucks they cost as much as a new car, even used ones if any can be found. :dry:

     

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I looked at their website and they don't even show the prices, which is quite telling... :adorkable: Quite incredible that such a small camera costs so much... :o

    2. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      @Tacolantern, there's a couple used ones on ebay. Take your blood pressure meds tho, before looking at the prices! :sealed:

      I know why they're expensive. It's the sensor material (InGaAs) and low demand. Consumer cameras are silicon based. Silicon is way cheaper but it's transparency beyond Near IR makes it useless for shortwave and thermal IR.

  23. *sees that @Nightmare glim is back. :-D

    What's up bro?

      Late getting off work but other than that, I'm doing alright.

      Glad you're back! :catface:
