Mobile Observatory Project
Supporters Welcomed!

I am getting ready to undergo a very ambitious project and I need your help!

     I will be taking my Astrophotography on the go and I plan on doing that by building myself a Mobile Observatory out of a 5x8 Utility Trailer. A couple of days ago I went live on Rumble (see the video at the bottom of the article) trying to come up with a design with the help of many veiwers like you. AermicanUltra & eSkilliam were a huge help during this stream.

     As I draw closer to coming up with a final design, I am able to come up with a rough estiamate of materials with the biggest expense being the trailer itself. Right now I am looking at about $4,500 in overall costs for materials.

    With this in mind I ask for your help, but your help will not go unpaid. For everyone who donates to this project, there will be tiered rewards listed below.

  • Tier 1: $5-15=Your name listed on a plaque with date & the amount you donated hung on the wall of the trailer. (the plaque will be one I make or purchased & burn your names into).
  • Tier 2: $20-45=1. Your name listed on a plaque with date & the amount you donated hung on the wall of the trailer. 2. Selected for the "Name the Observatory" contest. 3. Tier One Sub rights on Guildedgg for 3 months
  • Tier 3: $50-65=1. Youre name listed on the "Solar Tier  Plaque" with date, amount donated, & small quote of your choice hung on the wall of the trailer. (seperate from of the other donors from Teir 1 & 2). 2.  Selected for the "Name the Observatory" Contest. 3. Tier Two Sub rights on Guilded for 3 months. 4. AirCondaTV Patch.
  • Tier 4: $70-100=1. Your name listed on the "Galaxy Tier Plaque" with date, amount donated, & medium quote of your choice hung on the wall of the trailer. 2.  Selected for the "Name the Observatory" Contest. 3. Tier Three Sub rights on Guilded for 3 months. 4. AirCondaTV Patch.
  • Tier 5: $125+=1. Your name listed on the "Universe Tier Plaque" with date, amount donated, & lage quote of your choice hung on the wall of the trailer. 2. Selected for the "Name the Observatory" Contest. 3. Tier Three Sub rights on Guilded for 1yr. 4. AirCondaTV Patch. 6. Custom plaque with one of my astrophotos on it mailed to your house.

     If you would like to donate, you can do so by tipping on this article, subbing to my Locals or Rumble, or leaving a rant during one of my live streams on Rumble (be sure to include you want to support this project in your rant).

    A video series of the progress of the project will be posted on my AirCondaTV Hobbies Channel on Rumble as I build it along with highly detailed photos/videos posted here on for those who those who are Subed on Locals or Tier 2+ Subbed on my Guildedgg server. You will also be able to ask me anything in regards to the plans or progress on the trialer.

     Thank you all in advance for your help! I look forward to seeing you all as this progresses!

New Month, Two Big Events
Retiring & the Biggest Rumble Creator Meet Up
It is completely surreal to me to think that tomorrow two incredible things will happen. One that I thought would never come, & another I never even dreamed of being a thing.
 
First, I will be officially retired after 20yrs in the USAF.
 
Second, I will be meeting up w/several GamingOnRumble Creators & possibly Rumble, as well as Pickax staff at DreamHack Atlanta.
 
When I started streaming back in 2010 using nothing more than just my Xbox One through the Twitch appl, I was doing it as just as a hobby.
 
I would have NEVER dreamed that 15 years later, I'd not only be apart of one the best streaming community out there, but also be apart of the biggest creator meet up in that platforms history.
 
It is truly humbling & exciting. A huge thank you to all my followers & friends I've made a long the way who have made this possible.

Kenneth (ElectricPorpose Shared a Doctored Image
Kenneth Lied & Retsnom May Have Covered for Him

On May 5th Kenneth Shared a redacted Immage showing a list of Rumble Creators that he had to disavow in order to welcomed back into the Rumble Community (seen below).

On May 7th, I saved this image from his screen shot that he posted on May 5th.

On that same day Retsnom "claimed" to have the smoking gun to prove Ken's innocense. He claimed to have the original redacted & the original message that had Lumpy's name on it because it was sent to him by Kenneth over the weekend. Below is the image Retsnom shared on his stream & increased the brightness & contrast of to PROVE it was not photoshoped and was real. 

This particular Screenshot can be found at 17:10-18:10 of his stream here (take a screenshot of the stream yourself, zoom in under the "oX" in Lumpy's name and you will see a slightly darker grey line just above "eop" people in the message, over the message bubble.

In this next Image, I questioned Retsnom in dm on Guilded, where he got the original "redacted" iimage from because it did not line up with the one Kenneth posted on May 5th to explain his behavior (seen in the 1st screen shot above). The below image is my questions to Retsnom (I will show this live on request).

Retsnom claimed to have the originals on Sunday (5 May) sent to him by Kenneth himself and that the one I had was not original despite the fact I took it straight from Kenneth's post when I saw it on 7 May. 

I chlallenged Retsnom stating that Kenneth must have shared a fake image on the 7th (turns out the post was made on the 5th) then.

To which Retsnom replied, "But keep in mind that you do not have to use photoshop to move the location of a name. depending on what device, window size, or screen resolution. So the side by side analysis is irrelevant with the exception that the side by side image does not math my original" which has been proven wrong by myself & several other members on X/Twitter (see video below screen shot of dm with Retsnom).

When I told Retsnom that Kenneth either posted a fake redacted image on X, or sent him (Retsnom) a fake image in dm, Retsnom replied with, 

 "I guess that is a possibility but I have been on the inside of the issue since Sun and nothing changed that I am aware of other than the side by side not mathing what I have had since Sun night.
8:45 PM
and again you do not need photoshop to move the name. Current situation is keep him focused while we wait for the DMs to be restored by X as we requested a data back up.
8:47 PM
Again I guess that is possible but since the original on X was deleted I can not confirm. I can confirm that the ones I have and what I saw on X were the same. I just didnt think of doing a screen shot.
8:48 PM
It makes no sense to make 2 different versions though
8:50 PM
I would love to be able to confirm what I have VS what was originally posted on X, I only have what I saw and what I got from him on Sun night, But the side by side does not match red redaction wise."

From here I provided a screenshot of a post made in a discord showing Kenneth's first post on 5 May 11:07 PM (as seen in the screen shot), proving the redacted image that Retsnom claimed to be original was not what Kenneth share on X when started this drama.

To which Retsnom replied, "All I can do is try and seek the truth by giving Kenneth the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. I agree, it doesn't look good. But he is kind of a retarded spaz at times that knee jerk reacts to things without thinking, if you know him. If it ends up he is guilty or Lumpy is guilty, or some 3rd party is guilty, so be it. But if now one is willing to engage with him to find the truth then everything will be speculation and assumption."

I'll admit is an respectable response but it is also a deflection from asnwering the question (see screenshot of dm from Guilded below).

From here, Retsnom mistook me fore someone else and said, "hey some new info came out really thinking about going live on this but would really like your input before I do. Did you get the data file yet?".

After Retsnom admitted he didn't mean to message me and he would fill me in with more informatoin after he received it (this was on May 8th as see in screenshot above), I've not received a  word from him yet.

But I did ask on 10 May at 10:13pm (see screen shot above and below), "Want to explain to me why the image you used as the "original dm" from lumpy to Ken has artifacts on the message bubble under the "oX" fo Lumpy's name when you swore it wasn't photoshop?" to which I have not received a response yet (see screen shot below).

Now both in Retsnom and by Kenneth's on words, the reason we cannot see the original DM through screen record or otherwise is because Kenneth panicked and blocked Lumpy which caused the DM's to disappear. As Seen below. Blocking an user on X does NOT make a DM disappear. However, a report DOES. This is NOT what Kenneth or Retsnom said he did (see video & screenshoot below).

Final thing I would like to show that not only did Retsnom have the fake redacted image or the orginal but Kenneth shared the fake image on X on 5 May, but that the one that is "unredacted" showing Lumpy's name as the orignal send of the list is in fact a photoshoped image in of itself. Please see the video in the link below along with corresponding screen shots.

Conclusion:

  1. Kenneth did infact shared a doctored redacted photo after his post on 5 May got "mass reported and deleted WTF!"
  2. The Photo with Lumpy's name on it is in fact photoshoped.
  3. Retsnom failed to show actaul proof in his "resolution/screen size arguement."
  4. Retsnom failed to show that his "original" unredacted image was not photoshoped.
  5. Kenneth is in fact lying about who actually made the list. Whether he is the one who photoshoped the image or not is yet to be seen.
  6. Being retarted and panicked is not a valid defense.
  7. Lumpy did not send the original list.

What do you guys think? Let me know below.
