Is Mr. Robot worth it from start to finish? I watched Season 1, and I was amazed by it, but somehow I forgot to continue. I want to give it another shot.

You alright?

I'll take it as a compliment... The lamb was a tad too dry, by the way. Think I need to add more fat to the mince the next time.

You can see the atmosphere!

What gets me every time is that when you look through a telescope, you see how that part of the universe looked millions of years ago... That's what's mindblowing for me. A look in the past, a time machine of sorts. Like, it can look completely different now. It might not even be there. Imagine if someone on another planet millions of light-years away had a very powerful telescope and would direct it at Earth at a right moment and at a right spot, they'd see dinosaurs walking the surface of our planet. That's just crazy...

A new one... Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83, NGC 5236), a spiral galaxy about 15 million light-years away. 6 images, 5 minute exposure each, 30 min total observation time. Broadband (RGB) filters, therefore the image is true colour!

National Treasure - the bad guy who betrays his friend numerous times, gets arrested in the end The Island - the evil doctor who runs the compound, gets killed Missing - decent character, gets killed in the first episode - in the flasbacks, nonetheless

Can't think of anything I think him being the narrator for Civilization VI is the closest he got to it

Thanks! Yeah, I thought I'd just combine two of my interests and have fun with it... Really enjoying it so far; there's quite a steep learning curve, especially in terms of processing the images, and I just barely started scratching the surface of it. Love learning a lot of new stuff though! It's amazing what kind of opportunities we have these days, thanks to the internet and technology in general.

Yes, using the remote robotic telescopes (and monochrome ccd camera with narrowband filters)... Basically rent them for a certain amount of time (control them remotely over internet), take multiple long exposures, get the data/image files of the observation, and then transform it into an actual image.

I think I found a new hobby... Too bad it's going to be even more expensive than my single malt addiction

First Mars mission of this year - UAE's Hope - is set to enter Mars' orbit tomorrow, if everything goes well. Fingers crossed! A day after that, Tianwen 1, China's first mission to Mars, will arrive too. They are also carrying a rover, but will first orbit the planet for a few months before attempting the landing.

Cooked pulled pork for the first time... Marinating in the fridge over night, then almost 8 hours in the oven. Served with roasted potatoes and some pico de gallo on the side... Turned out better than expected, I think I'll make tortilla wraps with the rest of it
