AstroPuNkCertified Telescope Mechanics (Trust Us)Diego and I drove into regional Victoria to fix a telescope dome because apparently that’s our life now.We adjusted the focuser (it was vibing wrong), tried to mount a Celestron C14 on a pier (it said “no”), and realized we need an adapter the size of my ego.It was dusty. It was weirdly emotional. One of us almost cried (me).This is what happens when you give two guys tools, a telescope, and zero adult supervision. 🔧🔭🚙<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Telescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Telescope</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Observatory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Observatory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DomeMaintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DomeMaintenance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SpaceNerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SpaceNerd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Celestron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celestron</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RegionalVictoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RegionalVictoria</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FixingThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FixingThings</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DIYFails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIYFails</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TravelVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TravelVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ScienceVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SpaceStuff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SpaceStuff</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BehindTheScenes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BehindTheScenes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/UnhingedVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnhingedVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ChaoticEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChaoticEnergy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Astrophysics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ScienceIsCool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceIsCool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/OutbackAdventure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OutbackAdventure</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EngineeringFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EngineeringFail</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TechVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Stargazing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stargazing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/YouTubeVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YouTubeVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/INeedHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#INeedHelp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhyAreWeLikeThis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhyAreWeLikeThis</a><a href="https://youtu.be/OmAaaAcKanI" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/OmAaaAcKanI</a>

AstroPuNkWhat Happens If You Press All the Buttons at Perth Observatory?I visited Perth Observatory during the day (because apparently stars aren’t required for an existential crisis) — and ended up getting a personal tour from Paul Wadham, the actual Operations Manager. Legend.He showed me antique telescopes, answered my weird space questions with alarming patience, and introduced me to an atomic clock that I may or may not now be emotionally dependent on.No stars. Just me, Paul, and the unstoppable march of time. ⏱️🔭🌞<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/PerthObservatory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PerthObservatory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AtomicClock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AtomicClock</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Telescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Telescope</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WesternAustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WesternAustralia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TravelVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TravelVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Educational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Educational</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BehindTheScenes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BehindTheScenes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DayInTheLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DayInTheLife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/PrivateTour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PrivateTour</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Cosmos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cosmos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ScienceIsCool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceIsCool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/HiddenGems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HiddenGems</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Astrophysics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/UnexpectedAdventure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnexpectedAdventure</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/INeedHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#INeedHelp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/UnhingedVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnhingedVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MainCharacterMoment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MainCharacterMoment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ThisChangedMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThisChangedMe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FellInLoveWithAClock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FellInLoveWithAClock</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IDontKnowWhatImDoing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IDontKnowWhatImDoing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/YouTubeVlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YouTubeVlog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TimeTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TimeTravel</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ChaoticGood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChaoticGood</a><a href="https://youtu.be/HTflFlpKRDw" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/HTflFlpKRDw</a>

nanaI got worse. because of this stepmother and her vile relatives. I don't know what to do where to find help. I didn't want to write this, but I don't know what to do. I don't have a real family, I'm an orphan and I have no one to go to and turn to. I don't even have anyone to tell it to. I don't know which tags to use. I can't find help.

Devilled Gregg 🏳️‍🌈🇩🇰When I signed up for mastodon I PROMISED myself I was gonna be the tech guy and never, ever follow hot guys. First it started with following the hot tech guys…there’s a LOT of those. Then it snowballed completely out of my control and I’m basically following anyone that makes me tingle in the nether regions 🤷🏻‍♂️ <a href="https://mastodon.lol/tags/iNeedHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iNeedHelp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.lol/tags/thirsty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thirsty</a>
