I have the benefit that it's not me presenting finished work, but work in progress. So there's the magic wand of "no clue why this is wrong, but I plan to find out."
Also, yesterday twitter was all atwitter about Mars being at opposition last night. I got up about 1am to take pictures. I had planned on using my camera, but its battery was dead, so I ended up doing the bulk with my phone.
 |
| This was the best looking shot I got with my camera after letting it charge for a few minutes. It clearly makes a difference in what you can see with larger pixels. There's a bit of wobble in this one, which means I should really look into getting a small tripod. |
 |
| In any case, this is the mosaic I was able to produce from the phone pictures. You can click through to see the details, or look at the next few blowups. |
 |
| Way over on the right side (West) is Jupiter setting. |
 |
| Here's Saturn (on the left, just below the diffraction spike from the moon), the Moon (duh), Antares (that faint smudge about a fifth of the way up from the bottom), and Mars. |
Then sleep, then waking up, then checking my phone and seeing google telling me how long it would take to drive and get ramen.
 |
| I mean, it's not like I had a real plan for the day, so hey, why not? |
 |
| Obligatory best shot of Diamond Head from the Safeway stairs. |
I also checked my mail, and my Federal tax refund was there. Yay extra money. Double yay having phone app depositing, so I don't even need to go to a bank to cash it.
