      Pinkie Pie is best baker... apart from that one time she made muffins with Applejack. :derp: So that would definitely be worth watching! :)

      She should have a cooking competition with Mrs. Cake.

  3. I love fan made MLP content like this. So relaxing to watch after getting off work.

      Thank you!

      @Tacodidra, I like that one too. The grass seems a tad blue-green. Accurately color balancing an Infrared sensitive color camera is tricky. 

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Regardless of the color balance, the colors look very good to me – they add something special to the photo! :pinkie:

      I also like the little bit of Violet color in the UV image. I think some violet light leaks thru the UV filter I use, otherwise it would be in black and white like the NIR image. 

  7. Happy Birthday! :)

      Thank you so much my friend.

  9. Sunset Shimmer banner. I like it!

      Definitely a nice one – and also great to have both the pony and the human versions there! :D

  10. Another Moon pic. Enjoy!

      @Phosphor270 You seem to like Astronomy an space. I made a browser game called starchill last year I might share it in non pony art because it sounds like something you might enjoy.

    4. Dabmanz

      Dabmanz

      I just posted it in non pony art every pony needs something to chill and relax maybe this will help some people.

      @Phosphor270 I hope you enjoy. :)

  11. I think I will go enjoy the Moon with my Celestron C90. I'm too sore to lift my larger telescopes. 

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I hope you get some good images again! :orly:

    2. DivineMist1000

      DivineMist1000

      Celestron. Is that a robot Celestia?

    3. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      @Tacodidra, I plan to take a couple pics of the Moon. The C90 is a bit small for hi res crater images. :)

      @DivineLuna1000, ...maybe...  :P

  12. Imaged some craters near the Moon's terminator. How's everypony doing today?

      @Lord Valtasar, luv that picture!

      @Cash In, thanks! Hope your doing better today.

  13. Thank you for the follow! :)

  14. Hey! Thanks for the follow! :-D

  15. Gonna call it a night. One of the downsides to my hobby in amateur astronomy is the lack of sleep. Good night everypony!

  16. My first Neptune image for the 2018 apparition. Only the disk and color are visible, since the planet is nearly 2.8 billion miles away. :)

    Telescope: Celestron C8

    Camera: ZWO ASI224MC at f/25

      Really fascinating that you can get an image of something that's so far away! :wau: I love that shade of blue! :rarity:

      Neptune has been my favourite planet since I was in Grade 1 :fluttershy:. I don't know what it was - Probably the beautiful Blue colour.

    3. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      Neptune is a lil tougher to find. I have to use a 10x50 finderscope and star chart to locate it among background stars. Being resolved to a disk and its pretty blue color really help it stand out. :)

  17. Hey!

    Thanks for the follow! :)

      No problem :fluttershy:

  18. A quick UV image of Venus right before it sunk below the tree line. The crescent phase is my favorite, but it's much harder to see cloud details at this point. This years apparition is not favorable for northern latitudes.

      @DivineLuna1000, Mercury is one tough cookie to image, but you're in luck. I have some images from over a year ago.  :)  Mercury also goes thru phases like our Moon and Venus.

      @Tacodidra, lol. The moon is out right now and past 1st quarter phase. :laugh:

      Wow! really nice! Now I know why your avatar is with Twilight looking at stars!

      I'm gonna take a shot at Neptune tonight, but with my 8 inch telescope. I pulled a muscle in my back last night while lifting my big telescope. I think I leaned forward a bit to far when I lifted it from it's mount.

  19. Saturn is still looking good, but Mars is getting harder to image as it moves away from us.

      @DivineLuna1000, that's actually likely to be the reason. It may have been that plus some other objects such as smaller moons.

      I wish we knew how old the rings are.

    3. DivineMist1000

      DivineMist1000

      @Phosphor270 There are some "moons" that actually exist within the rings, one in each layer of rings I think

    4. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      Yep, Shepherd Moons. :)

  20. Finally got a chance to put those stickers on my telescope. Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark is a good match. Now, if I could just keep the lovebugs away. They're swarming my back patio!

      You need an observatory tower! That way you wont have to bring it outside

      Sticker looks like it belongs there :-P

      In case anypony is wondering why the trees are white and sky is black, the landscape was shot in Near Infrared light.

  22. A quick look at Saturn and Mars. Tonight's imaging session was a bit short. Lack of sleep catching up to me. lol :orly:

      @DarkShadowPonY, I remember seeing a black dot pass in front of the Moon, while I was looking at it with the telescope. It was probably a bird or satellite. I don't think we're alone in the universe.

  23. Got the patio washed off and my Celestron C8 telescope ready to go. Mars will be the target for tonight. I wanted to image Venus in UV but I got off work a lil late. Next time. 

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I hope you get some good images! :fluttershy:

      Might take another shot at doing another Mars animation. Just need the sky to stay clear long enough. 

  24. Happy birthday! 

    And your profile pic is pretty cool too! :)

  25. Ah, I see that the staff fixed the color projector for the forums. The black and white theme was pretty cool tho. :-P Anyway, how's everypony doing?

      @Tacodidra, My day was pretty decent. I'm just wore out from work. Had to come in early and leave late. lol.

      @TheTaZe, a research paper? I don't miss those days at all. The 10 page paper I had to do my senior year in college bout did me in. 

      @DivineLuna1000, at least until the color projector breaks again, eh? lol  :laugh:

    3. MangoFoalix

      MangoFoalix

      @Phosphor270 Not really, just a 2 page paper on someone and their significance in my life. It's for English. I could make it up to 5 pages but I don't think I wanna do that right now.

    4. DivineMist1000

      DivineMist1000

      @Phosphor270 Shh, don't let RD hear you say that! I should always be colorful and awesome
