2 second exposure...Awesome..I’d like to see the raw image. Can’t wait for JWT to launch. If it’s successful some of the discoveries should be mind bending.

'When you see the Southern Cross for the first time...' The first time I saw the Southern Cross was a few years ago, when my father and I went on a photo safari in South Africa.

One more thruster burn is scheduled on May 30 to complete the orbital maneuvers. Space dynamics and math fascinate me.

Do you ever find yourself being blasé about God’s glory?
How can someone look upon this image and not believe in our God Most High?

The wife and I recently attended an amateur astronomers event at a Pueblo mission. The park service kept it open until 10:30PM and anyone was invited. Photography being a hobby, I decided to take a stab at night sky photography. Here is an image I took with the ruins and the milky way visible in the southern sky. The streak you see in the upper center, we are 90% sure, is the International Space Station.

The 3069th little dot from the left and then go 4699 dots south. Thats the USS Enterprise- or at least it was the enterprise just before the Borg blew it up.

I’m Jewish. Where can I find the “Jewish star” or “Mogan David”? The constellation “Pisces” since fish played a major role in Jewish events? Or in Cetus, the whale (remember Jonah)?

—
The dot in the far upper left (at 60 light years distant) is the Culture Rapid Offensive Unit (ROU) “Miss Me Yet?” (Abominator Class) shortly before it destroyed the entire Borg fleet as an afterthought ... and just before it reached out (effected), squeezing the Borg ship you mentioned into a two meter crumpled square, followed by dusting the remains of with contained anti-matter (CAM).
Moral: Don’t mess with the Culture.
