Nice to have a Cooper’s Hawk stop by for a visit.
Though he looks perturbed…Adele our cat was in the vicinity.

June 2nd - a good day to a good night 🙂 in Norfolk, Virginia
GOES 19, nooelec grid, rtl-sdrV3, satdump (Win11), premiere pro (mac)

GOES 19 geostationary weather satellite received via nooelec dish, sawbird+goes, rtlsdrV3 and Satdump (Win11), about 6 hours timelapse 1 false color frame captured every 30 minutes or so.

The beauty of mother nature from above contrasts with the fury of the weather experienced below.

I started Satdump live output processing for about 6hrs then manually created the animation via Premiere. Next step is to automate the process either via RPi or windows.

Yes, I was impressed with the app with polar aligning, made it EZ. Barely any dropped frames at :30, not like Alt/Az mode

Finally tried it out last night :)

If you’re showing love to Swasticars more than just flippin them the bird, mask up because the Teslas have security cameras watching.

And with Cannonball Adderly on saxophone

Wow - Jose Feliciano on an episode of Kung Fu, with a little jam session at the end over credits

Hopefully he goes away like this guy

Their account is a troll bot

One of my favorite songs of all time

Dangit -- guess he's joining Kennedy eww. Hopefully Kurt Loder is fighting the good fight.

We need a name/label for St*rlink - something more catchy than Swatilink. As long as it sticks ;)
