obviously the finale games each night being REPO and King of the Castle are very exciting but i'd like to draw your attention to "Scintillation Fashion Contest 2026" and "Dre Goes to Flegg Hell"
Here's the schedule for our ICEBREAKER fundraiser on 2/15 and 2/16, a marathon to raise money for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. Join us then at twitch.tv/friendsatthetable!

In this week's #StarDiary podcast I talk about this photography technique that captures #scintillation of stars. It's interesting to compare the coloured trails from different stars, but just as interesting are the planet trails; no scintillation means a solid colour trail!

You ever think about how we call them scintillation vials but nobody ever does scintillation in them. Must be so disappointing for those poor vials

Fingers crossed for no alarms - I'm going to try attending the airshow today.
Hoping to pick up some decent photographs, a little chatter on my mesh radio and a couple of radioactive planes or things on the tiny scintillation detector. :D
I packed an ok microphone too ,for any video worthy acts. 🙂
