Cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin worked outside the International Space Station on May 12, 2023, to deploy and activate a radiator on the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module during a five-hour and 14-minute spacewalk. The duo from Roscosmos is seen working outside Nauka, with its experiment airlock attached, and the Prichal docking module. #roscosmos #cosmonaut #spacwalk #walk #spacesuit #suit #nauka #prichal #soyuz #international #space #station

Getting Data from Satellites

I really like looking at NASA images of the sun from SDO and SOHO. There's nothing wrong with downloading these over the internet, but is there a way to connect directly to satellites to download images? I feel like this would be a really cool project!

Why is modern slow motion footage (such as Artemis 1 footage, etc.) still shot on film?

Need help finding a target for this weekend

Hello I will be at a dark sky location in Florida this weekend and need help finding a target to shoot with my canon dslr, 100-400 lens and heq5 mount. It looks like M81 is a good target for this weekend but 400mm is a little short for this galaxy. Can anyone suggest a nebula or galaxy that looks good at 400mm and will be visible from 9pm until at least 11pm?
