So we headed down to the beach in the hopes of the Kp index going up and granting us an #aurora but it is not playing ball tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
While waiting, though, we thought we'd run our #DwarfII scopes. I targetted a little #OpenCluster called #NGC6451, or The Tom Thumb cluster.
All sorts of fun stuff going on around it.

I am confused. Is the plan to burn her or behead her? Neither seem especially plausible with what we are seeing.
Not enough wood, and the manacles are going to be a sod to sort out if the hooded guy is sitting on the chopping block. I mean they are not even free running manacles - they are stapled to the wall!
And what is with the book?? Maybe they are planning on executing the book?
Or is the book the means of execution? Some sort of uber-Bulwer-Lytton??

Glenda slid into the firing seat, took aim, and flawlessly painted all eight nails.
Then she took the mic.

A Flider!
As for the lady in question, probably white, with a late 50s buffont.
Although I do have questions about her expression. I do not think we are seeing fear, horror, or pain. 😮
Which does raise all sorts of awkward questions.

So we had a few days in Gingin, and scored a second clear night.
This time I went for something a bit different. This is Barnard 228 aka The Dark Wolf Nebula, a massive molecular cloud in the constellation of Lupus.

I also took my Theta S photosphere camera with me, which gave the opportunity for some amazing wide angle astroscapes. Here is one from in front of the centre, with their radio telescope in the foreground and Weitj (the Emu) in the background.

Last night we visited the Gravity Discovery Centre and Observatory in Gingin for one of their Observatory Tour nights.
You get a full access ticket to the discovery Centre as a part of the tour ticket, so we made use of that to have a look around at the exhibits. The whole thing is a bit like a very focused SciTech or Powerhouse Museum sort of idea.
We also collected the five solargraph cameras that we set up six months ago. Three of these were Solarcan Pucks, and two were home-brew can cameras.
One of the Pucks was, alas, full of water, and the film was washed away. One of the can cameras was also heavily water filled, while the other had been partially crushed. The other two Pucks were in perfect condition.
What was unexpected was that both can cameras had acquired significant populations of tiny ants. One of them was even being used as an egg chamber! Despite this I was able to recover images from both, and the results are quite striking.
The tour, meanwhile, was very well presented, with a lot of great educational content mixed in with some fairly memorable standup. The contrast between how they would deal with moon landing conspiracy theorists ("We are here to educate") and flat earthers ("Get out now! Right now!") was particularly amusing.
There were five telescopes set up - 4 in the 11-12 inch range and one 60cm.
There was plenty to look at, despite the threatening clouds, and we had a chance to do some photography of our own while we were there.
Certainly a lot of fun, and well worth the drive.

Per Wikipedia
"Smith completed his PhD in chemical engineering in 1918, with a food engineering focus.[18][25] His dissertation, The effect of bleaching with oxides of nitrogen upon the baking quality and commercial value of wheat flour, was published in 1919."

The red eyed robot spoke ominously "Humans! We have agreed that..."
The green eyed one broke in "Oh boy! Organic life forms! Do you know how long it has been since I've seen an organic life forms? It must be ... Oh, minutes! That's like forever for us, what with how fast our brains run. Hey are you going"
"Larry."
"To do some of your sports? Howabout one of your mating rituals? Or maybe eat"
"LARRY!"
"Huh? What? I'm just so excited!"
"Larry, we are supposed to be delivering the ultimatum."
"What ultimatum? Do we have one? What is it?"
The red-eyed robot shook its head.
The female human spoke "Err, do you want to come back later?"

Inspired by https://zirk.us/@SFFMagazineCovers/112697601308463706 from @npub1jcy…20yu , @npub1wvd…drwx and I started wondering what you would call this sort of very ordinary horror.
The sort of horror that comes about because of a vague ineptness. Such as the guy who sinks a ship by trying to bake a cake. Or the dude who destroys a city by failing to parallel park.
After considerable discussion (well, a couple of minutes, any way), @npub1wvd…drwx came up with "Plebeian Horror" as sort of a counterpoint to "Cosmic Horror".
I can now see a sort of low budget 5 minute "Just Before Sunset Zone" series of shorts featuring these terrible but somehow dull horror stories.
