Damn, forgot this blog existed… here’s what my new 70-200 Sony f/4 G OSS II lens can do in combination with my shitty Chinese star-tracker (it’s decent, just not made for 200mm), and an alyn Wallace msm V-wedge, followed by some hours in an image stacking software + lightroom. Pretty neat, actually. Mainly cause you can kinda see the horse head nebula!!

Twilight's Life Before and After the MLP:FiM Show. Part One: Before

Twilight was born to loving parents in Canterlot, and immediately grew attached to her big brother Shinning Armor. She was a pretty fussy baby, only ever really calming down when Shinning was there, and their bond has stayed very close to this day. She took interest in reading at an early age and was a pretty happy kid for the most part. She started school when she was six at Canterlot Schoolhouse, and that is where her introverted nature started to shine through.

See her parents worked as teachers at her school, Night Light taught Astronomy and Twilight Velvet taught History and acted as the Librarian. The good thing was that because she was the teachers' daughter she never missed out on much parental love and care. The less good thing was she quickly became known by the other students as a bit of a teacher's pet; and due to that and her advanced smarts, she had trouble making friends. So she went through her days not talking to anypony but the teachers and she locked herself away in her books and education, if she just focused on that, their words would cease to reach her. Not that she cared about what the other foals thought of her or anything! It's fine! Who needs friends? Not her! As long as she ignored everypony around her she would be fine. . .not emotionally damaging at all. . .!

Let's just say, things started to get better once she turned nine, when her interests in magic and the science of magic began to strengthen and grow into something more impressive for a unicorn her age, when her parents decided to enroll her into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. There she passed her exam, got her cutie-mark and hatched little baby Spike, she gained a few "friends"— a few tagalongs was more like it— a small group of fillies who stuck to her because they believed that they were friends and couldn't take a hint. Twilight didn't really see it much of the same way but she found she didn't mind the company from time to time, and she'd be lying if she didn't admit that she followed little Moondancer around as much as Moondancer did her. She became a protege of Princess Celestia herself, attending and succeeding in school while her mother happily raised Spike, with some sisterly like help from Twilight, who felt it was her responsibility to be to Spike what Shinning Armor is for her, a support and a shoulder to lean on if ever he was troubled. She was seventeen when she was offered a library wing in Canterlot Castle, as she was now technically old enough to move out of her parents house and had become Celestia's star pupil and Twilight came to see her as her idolized mentor who believed in her and trusted her more than anyone —even her loving family— did. She brought Spike along too who came along willingly, having imprinted on Twilight probably just a little bit more than Velvet, though he still does consider her more of a mother figure and Twilight more of a sister figure. Anyway, she lived there full-time for only a few months before she was finally sent to Ponyville, and her story really began. . .
