So, has ANYONE ever heard back from [email protected] when submitting a help request? Been trying for a month to get help in not getting email with 2FA verification code emails. Been trying to log on with my other device, an iPad, using app and/or web page. Very frustrating.

First night out with the little Seestar S50 smart telescope. Got about an hours worth of M31 (Andromeda Galaxy) mosaic data. Much easier to setup than my big rig😎. Fun little scope! #Photography #Astrophotography #SeestarS50 #AndromedaM31 #Colorado

Random things you see! This is the "Wapiti Big Boy", a rescue from a California Big Boy restaurant. Found him on the way to the East Entrance to Yellowstone. He stands majestically in the middle of nowhere😎 #Photography #Yellowstone #BigBoy #RandomThings #Art

Random things that are on my mind... Space debris... As I admire the night sky and capture the beauty of stars, galaxies, I wonder... What about all the stuff floating around up there? phys.org/news/2025-01... #Space #Astronomy #Technology #Science
