Calibrating all gravitational sensors into a single imaging array, Measuring speed of gravity as a routine calibration for gravitational networks

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Gravitational Engineering, GravityNotes, Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal August 14, 2022

https://www.researchgate.net/project/Solar-System-Gravimetry-and-Gravitational-Engineering/ Calibrating all gravitational sensors into a single imaging array: I was thinking about this some more. The gravitational potential from the sun and moon changes significantly during the year and over the course of the day. And the absolute values (for the usual network few hundred samples per second and slower) change slowly. Your

Twitter to Sony about lossless formats for global sharing of science data

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Solar Observing, Solar System Colonization, Visualizations Simulations, Web Policies Internet Polices July 28, 2022

@Sony Sony donated an Alpha 7S for a live webcam at Maunakea Subaru Telescope. Could Sony also help promote better Internet standards for lossless video? Look at these poor star pixels. Live stars need lossless formats. Global sharing for science data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH90mZnmgD4

https://www.researchgate.net/project/Solar-System-Gravimetry-and-Gravitational-Engineering I was updating my notes of gravimeter arrays as gravitational imaging arrays. At the end I recommend using electrons interferometer and related electron methods for measuring and monitoring acceleration. Every electron on earth has mass and is affected individually by the changing gravitational field. Electron methods are far in advance of atom methods, less

Computational Microscopy by Laura Waller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCCGnxRoUr4 Your diagram at 18:05 is not the way it works. Your every day matrix methods ALL are used by tens of thousands of groups and individuals all using related methods. The things you do not know, mostly there will be others who do. If you haven’t learned something yet,

Comment on Video Removing Heavy Wind Shake from FPV footage

Removing heavy wind shake from FPV footage at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDRJCyCKWfQ I have been collecting live video streams on the Internet for some time. I call the collection “shake wind”. Mainly beaches, bridges, mountains and places where the wind is fierce and the camera will often shake, sometimes violently. But the equation of motion of the camera is

What is the ratio of nuclear to gravitational energy for the sun during its whole life cycle?

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Collaborative Global Model of the Sun, Non-Profit Groups Using the Internet, Open Algorithm Development, Solar System Colonization, Visualizations Simulations April 11, 2022

David, I was starting to read “Submillimetre Astronomy” by Watt and Webster and they were talking about molecular clouds. They mention the magnetic energy density being approximately equal to the kinetic energy density, then talked about a cascade of scales.  It has been on my mind to check how much nuclear energy in generated in

Hello, I have been using Sharpcap for testing cameras.  But I am only now getting things set up after several years of trying to select or design the telescopes and cameras. For single cameras I am running these kinds of manual captures. I have to manually set the gain, exposure and processing steps. Then I

https://www.facebook.com/groups/172438633343696 Can someone tell me the current best all sky set up? I was thinking of one that had zoom from all sky to 30x. Any suggestions. Thanks. I was looking at PTZ low light security cameras. Dan Bush Thank you. Your picture gallery is filled with beautiful images. I searched fro Hikvision cameras and

Debbie, First, your novice videos should be globally public on your website.  Either HAS is an organization devoted to all people knowing about the sky and heavens, or not.  Share openly.  If there are things specific to secure gatherings at private places, those should not be shared, but minimized or separate.  I tell groups like
