Generalzod, are you going to get the chance to look at Neptune ? I came across this in Time Out

September 19: Neptune at opposition

If you’re keen on seeing Neptune, Sydneysiders will be able to get a clear look at the eighth most distant planet from Earth. At around 7.30pm on September 19, step outside and you may get to see Neptune lying directly opposite the sun. It will be visible until around 4.00am the next morning.

Also this

September 22: Comet Nishimura

A fresh new comet has been uncovered thanks to Japanese photographer Hideo Nishimura, who spotted the green object while stargazing in August 2023. Now known as Comet Nishimura, it has been orbiting the sun but will be most visible in Australia when it moves closer to the Earth around September 22. The best bit: It will be visible to the naked eye. That said, if you look through a telescope – or perhaps even a pair of binoculars – you should be able to see the distinct comet ‘tail’, which is particularly spesh.

I will try getting a couple pictures of Nishimura I will have to add it’s cordinace and hopefully enough the telescope will track it, as for Neptune the app that drives the telescope have goto’s to all planets but unfortunately it really isn’t meant for planetary imaging, the other night I had A look at Saturn, It Appears as a star the trick is you have to decrease the exposure time of the camera to allow less light take pictures of planets.

if you are Tool fan, the song Vicarious (the full clip, not the one on 10,000 days album, features sounds from Neptune at the beginning (you can listen to neptune on youtube as well). It's quite eerie and i discovered it by it nagging at me, i knew it had something to do with something that was far away, but what ? Sounds from the planets are quite eerie AF.

p.s. wasn't Nishimura the name of the ship on dead space ? Nishimura or ishimura i think

USG Ishimura it is. Dunno why I looked it up. I have zero interest in video games.

i'm getting like that now myself ... used to play the horror or shooter games ... now zero interest *cough* old age hahaha *cough*
p.s. those dead space games sucked ... the hunters were unkillable ... shitted me off no end.
Day of defeat, Loungester, I used to creep about and hit snipers from behind with a spade over the back of their heads. Thwack Thwack Thwack Arghh!

They’d be well behind their lines feeling safe and secure, aiming up the lads in a cowardly way.

My motto was always try to add some class to the kill.

That bass player on Neptune, I swear he was pissed during the album recording.
