  1. The forecast was way off last nite. Above average conditions was predicted, but my video clearly shows a lot of turbulence. The portions where I defocus the planet really show it. Yuck! :yuck:

    The two images demonstrate the importance of using an atmospheric dispersion corrector. You can see the red and blue tinges at the edges of the planet, along with significant blurring of details. 

    Hope y'all enjoy.

  3. preparing for work, bye

  4. Today was a very pleasant and quiet one to mark off the calendar :catface:  The weather was amazing, I was placed back at the smaller building today to fill in for the director (which is something I know how to do quite well B)^_^) and I wasn't galloping all over creation trying to put out fires! :mlp_yeehaa:

    I haven't had much time to myself these past few weeks- work has really taken the lion's share of my waking hours! :muffins: but hopefully that will be calming down soon. as staff vacations were usually stacked in sequence this year:blink: 


    and guess who the lucky pone is that fills all the spots :lostit:^_^:kindness::mlp_please: 

    no worries though, I welcome the extra money! I'm working on saving for a house! :love:


    I wish I could stick around and talk with all you beautiful equines, but this one has to head to bed. I'm opening and closing tomorrow :please: Don't worry! its my own choice! ^_^



    Goodnight my loves, have a wonderful rest of your evenings and sleep well when you do :rarity: <3 

     

  5. How are things going for you, my friend?

  6. Power is out -_-

  7. I think the fact Jesse Ventura of all people is being labelled an SJW by some clowns on YouTube only because he's voiced support for gay marriage and abortion rights (which I think is really only rational to support) should be an indication of how far right and far gone this country has become. Heck, my DAD would be called an SJW then, and HE IS A TRUMP SUPPORTER. Pretty damn far from what an SJW is REALLY like.

    Funny that some of these same people say they like old "real" conservatives, but if they REALLY knew them, they'd immediately conflate those same people to Karl Marx. Seriously, what if I told you that Dwight D. Eisenhower, a REPUBLICAN president, had believed STRONGLY in Single Payer Healthcare and has also said that not believing in such in his time was considered to make you so far right as to be totally off-base? 

     

  8. It's sunny, 70 degrees with a light breeze

    I'm at my old building today- leads kids and it's quiet 

    The perfect work day :wub:^_^

  9. Yesterday was a train wreck if I've ever seen one and I was in the conductor's seat :lie: The name of the game was "stop the bleeding" as in fix the problem. It didn't stop from the moment I woke up, til I went to sleep. Almost all aspects of my life were difficult.

    But not you lovelies :awed: you gave me kind words and encouragement. I couldn't ask for better friends to have around me than you <3 

    I'm still getting over everything.It was a day to remember, though I wish I could forget :sunny:. Nevertheless, I'm bouncing back, just a bit slower than usual :bedeyes: more effort is needed. 


    Today was very busy, but nothing like yesterday. I still was running around trying to keep up, but it wasn't awful. I can stand days like this one again :) 

    We took the kids to the roller rink again- as we do every wednesday in summer. I could tell they all had a great time, and getting to see them happy made me happy as well :rarity:

    I exercised again today- my new work schedule has disturbed my workout routine, keeping me from being consistent with it. I'm just counting it as a win that I'm still doing it at all ^_^ As things calm down after the transition into summer operations, I'm sure it will be easier to manage :grin:

    I love you my sweet thoughtful friends- you're all so beautiful, I hope you all know how much you shine :awed:
    <3 

  10. Do you think people who aren't courteous on the roadways...should they be nailed in the privates?

  11. Alright Twilight, I'll take you to Barnes and Nobles. What could possibly go wrong? ^_^

  12. It's been raining a lot recently where I am, it's kinda annoying as I can't let the sun through my windows because the sun is blocked by the clouds.

  13. The grass has gotten so long in the backyard that I was cutting it down with a weedeater. Was around 2 feet tall. :muffins:

  14. Interesting situation. It's been over a years since I decided to start coming back here. Wow, doesn't seem like that long honestly. :please:

  15. Happy Jupiter Opposition Day!  ^_^

    Hope you're doing well. Miss the astronomy chats we use to do on here.  

  16. thanks to the thoughtfulness of my significant other, I now have the full version of Final Fantasy Online with all the expansions! :D thank you @Psychie dearest :rarity:

    We ended up dungeoning it up with a couple of close friends for a few hours before  heading to bed :ph3ar:

    I was also able to get my guitar all cleaned up and ready to sell- she's shining like a true collectors piece now!:mlp_yeehaa:IMG_20190609_222253.jpg

     

    I'm  Just here at work now, punching away a computer keyboard, summarizing emails :muffins:

    How're you my lovely pones? :rarity:<3

  17. It's been a long and wonderful Monday, and now it comes to one of the best parts: rest and dreams. I hope you all had a great Monday, or at least a decent one, and remember the week can only get better as we move toward Friday. :pinkie:

    Goodnight everypony! post-25189-0-33094200-1412626540.png

  18. On a night like this, I'm afraid the only option is to pack up the telescope and bring it inside. Not even low magnification can make this look better. The atmosphere is stirred up tonight.  :(

    Next time, Twilight. 

  19. I currently feel like Trixie right now

  20. Twilight, Jupiter's opposition is tomorrow night. :adorkable:

    I suppose I can show you how an atmospheric dispersion corrector works. Jupiter is the perfect planet to use it on.  :twi:

  21. Hope you all are doing well!
    Sorry I haven't been on much..just been too tired..or too busy trying to play catch up with everything...:derp:

  22. I just realized I haven't been on here much recently. I guess I've been preoccupied with other things, like overthinking dating. ^_^
