Photos from my live broadcast on 8/1/24 to 8/3/24 using the Celestron Origin

These are the photos processed by the Celestron Origin software for the two live broadcasts between August 1, 2024 Ang August 3, 2024.

Photos from the first weeks with the Celestron Origin

I am posting photos that I have taken in the first weeks of using my Celestron Origin. Most of the photos are not touched up. The Celestron's artificial intelligent processing was sufficient to get a decent result. There are a few in which I increased brightness. You should be able to tell. There are duplicate object photos but they were taken on different days under different weather conditions. All in all I am very happy with the technology. I love being able to save raw data for post processing. The Celestron does a very good job in processing. I am sure that more experienced practitioners could improve upon the Celestron's results (I am trying and will post something when I am satisfied--I typically use pixinsight, Siril, photoshop, and a wide variety of tools). I also like the Celestron having an image stacking replay which gives a thumbnail time lapse of the stacking process. It has some very nice features. Enjoy.

Had a meeting with a book club in Roachport MO yesterday

I was invited to join a book club meeting in Roachport MO yesterday to talk about my book In the Time of Madmen. What a wonderful group. My wife Rose and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had very in depth discussions ranging from the history which the book covered to how these lessons apply to current events. I can't thank Dixie enough for the invitation.
