Long time friend of the show and Patreon member Chris recently visited a dozen different countries to spread the word of the Astrocast, all in one day!!!

“Making stops in Mexico then Norway followed by China, Germany, Italy, America, Japan, Morocco, France, England, then the final stop in Canada.”

Here’s our AC trivia question for today…how’d he do it?!

This is my longest integration ever! 45 hours on The Pleiades, from Bortle 7 skies. I used an HDR composite of roughly 35 hours of 3-minute exposures using a light pollution filter, and another dozen hours of 60 second shots with an UV/IR Cut (the built in UV/IR cut is a little weak on 2600 from what i've read). Shot on my ASI2600MC Pro via my quintuplet astrograph. AM3 Mount, autoguiding by ZWO. I'll talk all about the process and techniques on this weeks episode! Do yourself a FAVOR...check this one out a screen bigger than 5 inches!

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.
