Jakob MiskellMy grandpa captured the Fireworks Galaxy in the middle of May and got almost 5 hours on it! The Fireworks Galaxy is located on the border between the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus. It is a bright, colorful galaxy with a yellowish core, large clusters of blue stars, and many Ha regions (which aren't shown in this image). It's called the 'Fireworks' Galaxy because 10 supernovae have been observed in it over the past century.<br> <br> 70x240s lights (4.67 hours), flats, darks, and biases stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, edited in Siril and background extraction and noise reduction applied with GraXpert.<br> ----<br> 🌌 Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946)<br> 🔭 Celestron EdgeHD 8"&nbsp;(Scope), Celestron CGEM-II&nbsp;(Mount)<br> 📸 ZWO 294MC Pro (Main), ZWO 224MC Color&nbsp;(Guide)<br> 📅 Jefferson, WI (Bortle 4.5)<br> ----<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fireworksgalaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fireworksgalaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ngc6946?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ngc6946</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spiralgalaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiralgalaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/highpointscientific?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highpointscientific</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jefferson?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jefferson</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jeffersonwi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jeffersonwi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wisconsin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wisconsin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jeffersonwisconsin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jeffersonwisconsin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suburb?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suburb</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suburban?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suburban</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suburbs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suburbs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/celestron?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#celestron</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/edgehd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#edgehd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/edgehd8?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#edgehd8</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/schmidtcassegrain?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schmidtcassegrain</a>
Miss Gayle<p>PODCAST!<br />Here’s Why You May See More Corner Stores in the Future<br />Strong Towns, November 13, 2024</p><p>Personally, I think cities should start looking at good corner lots and rezoning them for &quot;neighborhood commercial.&quot; Being 5 miles from a big box store is neither efficient or sustainable. </p><p>Listen Here: <a href="https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2024/11/13/heres-why-you-may-see-more-corner-stores-in-the-future-mdf24" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">strongtowns.org/journal/2024/1</span><span class="invisible">1/13/heres-why-you-may-see-more-corner-stores-in-the-future-mdf24</span></a></p><p>A similar CNU Article - Corner Stores can Anchor Neighborhoods<br />Read Here: <a href="https://www.cnu.org/publicsquare/2020/02/10/corner-stores-can-anchor-neighborhood" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cnu.org/publicsquare/2020/02/1</span><span class="invisible">0/corner-stores-can-anchor-neighborhood</span></a></p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Suburb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Suburb</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Development" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Development</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Walkability" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Walkability</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Zoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Zoning</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CityPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CityPlanning</span></a></p>
Jack<p>Reading &quot;The City in History&quot; by <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/lewismumford" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lewismumford</span></a> and loved the way he describes the suburban way of life:</p><p>”Here domesticity could flourish, forgetful of the exploitation on which so much of it was based. Here individuality could prosper, oblivious of the pervasive regimentation beyond. this was not merely a child-centered environment: it was based on a childish view of the world, in which reality was sacrificed to the pleasure principle.” pg. 494</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/suburbanlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>suburbanlife</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/suburban" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>suburban</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/suburb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>suburb</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cities" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cities</span></a></p>
