My retirement plan. HB, sitting out watching the night sky. Already saw a meteor but the Camara wasn't set up yet.

Nice! I enjoy DSO astrophotography also. I have an Explore Scientific ES80, Explore Scientific ED127 FCD100, and a Celestron C9.25 SCT, that I mount on a Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro.

Now that is bad azz!! Feel free to share your pictures. How high are you (altitude wise..
)?Quick question, did you build an adapter for the Celestron? Or buy one?

Here in Prescott AZ, my house is at 5400 feet above sea level latitude 34° - usually Bortle 4-5.
A little confused on your Celestron adapter question - I'm not sure what adapter you are referring to...
Here are 3 of my astrophotos, Pacman Nebula, Rosette Nebula, and Flaming Star Nebula - nebulas are my favorite thing to image.
These are narrow band images using 7 nanometer wide Ha/Sll/Olll filters.

Thanks for sharing! Beyond fantastic photos. What we can do as amateurs is pretty amazing these days. I read a Celestron tube wouldn't mount, that's why I asked. Got a few items coming my way from Amazon to aid the astrophotography cause. I hate vacations. I usually get my energy back then get excited to do things only to be let down when returning to my life sucking job! Ha! I might PM a question or 2 if you don't mind.

We leave Iceland tomorrow, so these are the last beers I get to sample. Beer here is really expensive in bars so went to the national store for these. Which is an experience as well - 4-packs, 6-packs and 12-packs are available, but everyone just rips beers out of the package and buys them as singles (450-1,000 Kr; 130 Kr/$1 USD). So, 3.50 to 8.00-ish per beer. Most bars are 1050-1300/beer - but you don’t tip so save some at a bar. Anyway, here are tonight’s selection with a map of where they are brewed. They do like session IPAs. First one from about as far north as can be <50 miles from Arctic.
Next two are from The Brothers Brewery on a small island just off the southern coast of Iceland. Wanted to go, but I don’t do well on the water.
Interesting beer in Iceland - which is still very young in terms of beer. Was only legalized in 1988. Back to reality tomorrow.

The stock rail on the bottom of the Celestron C9.25 SCT mounted just fine on the EQ6-R Pro. But my C9.25 is an older gen 1 scope, I can't speak for the newer generations.
Sure - PM away, I'll help if I can.

Looks to be a full filling trip! Can't remember why you went, but I'm sure it wasn't for the beer!
Safe journey my Husker friend!

A fine choice, too. Enjoy your trip!
OT: not a bad low calorie beer. But with the IPA name, I’d expect it to be just a bit more hop heavy. This is more like someone threw in a couple extra pellets to a 1000 gallon batch of Miller Lite.

This is why we check our curbside order before leaving for home. Was supposed to be a seasonal IPA. This isn't doing anything for me. A strong (fake) fruited Berliner Weisse I guess this is what happens when you sell out...

This isn’t so good.

Since I am still at work drinking a HB Kombucha & HB Pellegrino mix, I am not sure if I should be jealous that you are drinking beer-even bad beer!

My Old Rasputin clone keg kicked but I have another 5 gallons fermenting. This is at the 24 hour mark.

Appreciate that. The trip was a graduation gift for my daughter that graduated HS last year (and was postponed until this year).Looks to be a full filling trip! Can't remember why you went, but I'm sure it wasn't for the beer!

Not a Carolina beer, but pretty good. Sitting on the balcony at the beach resort makes it better though.

OR was my first Imperial Stout. I couldn't drink more then 1/4 of it. It was like straight up Everclear to me. Ha! My how times changed. Did you get a kit or make up the recipe?
Ha! I got a kit from MoreBeer.com. This is the third time I’ve brewed it. It’s more mellow, not as hoppy as the real McCoy. I like the clone better as it’s a smoother drinker. The first two times the ABVs were 11.16 and 11.55. We’ll see what this one comes out at.
Love that glass!

After dough drink. I call it the kitchen sink Margarita. Split tequila blanco and reposado, split lime and lemon juice, and orange curaçao to finish it off.

Nice gear ! No more scopes over 6 inch for me, getting older and just too heavy. I've only had my Meade LX85 mount out 3 times but I'm not crazy about it. I wish I hadn't sold my old trusty Celestron ASGT. I may sell the Meade and go back to Celestron, maybe try the AVX. Have not done DSO photography just moon and planets with entry level cameras, Celestron Nextimage 5 and ASI120MC-S. Can't afford cooled cameras.

Drinking my Kentucky Common. Nailed it. I put a tad bit of Dark Cherry Extract for just that hint of sweetness.
Anyway, attention all Beer Gods!
Does anyone know of any recipe to concoct a brew called GRIMMBERGER? Grimmys for short. Its a French Double Amber Ale made by those crazy Trappist Monks. I can no longer find it anywhere and I'm throwing in the towel trying to locate it. The brew is fantastic, to me anyway. I seriously need the Gods on this one. Thank you in advance! Peace.

I think you just wrote the recipe. Imperial Amber using Trappist yeast (WY3787)...
Wife comes back tomorrow but moving VERY forward on beer related activities this last week. Here are a couple projects I did using spare materials for the most part. I can now temperature control 2 buckets in this small freezer. Built up an another mash tun with an old cooler also.
Couldn't resist a 7day sample of the IPA. Columbus and Hop blend Citiva in the boil/whirlpool. Then 3days after, cryo hop Citra/Mosaic and more Citiva during fermentation. Same will be kegged hop. Hope it stays this way. I've tasted this flavor in so many modern IPAs. Recognized it immediately. Orange juice like. Nice bitterness. Since I've always struggled with IPAs, enjoying while it lasts.
