Steve and Amelia Goldberg, If Houston Astronomical Society (HAS) would share recordings online, then star parties can be continuous and world wide. Soon, in human terms, there will be people observing from the far side of the moon and from Mars. So I hope Houston Astronomical Society will be a world leader in online community

Dominic, I spoke to Chuck Allen, vice president of the Astronomical League, yesterday — https://www.astroleague.org/al/general/contact.html “The Astronomical League is composed of over two hundred and forty (280 now) local amateur astronomical societies from all across the United States.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_League (pretty thin description) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronomical_societies We talked almost an hour about the growth of Internet sharing (I

https://www.facebook.com/groups/172438633343696 Do you know of even one allsky camera on the Internet that shares live lossless images? And archives lossless images for stacking, research, correlations? The usual photos of stars and planets on the Internet are in jpg, or compressed video, so the pixels are not real pixels. The location and properties of the camera

I had to try several times to get the LONG captcha code right. My eyes are really tired and it makes no sense. Finally realized they were using case sensitive. It failed because it was more than 1024 characters. Did they tell me there was a limit? No. Did they warn me that I went

I am a retired mathematical statistician, but I work full time still as Director of the Internet Foundation. If you want me to bore you to tears about global Internet communities, I am happy to oblige. I have

Samir, Glad you noticed it. Most of my messages never get answered or noticed. I guess they mostly get treated as spam. I try to not let it bother me. Your paper is online now. I guess I was in a hurry to read it. It has a really ugly URL. It really needs to

Joergen Christensen-Dalsgaard, You have described some of the pieces relevant for study of solar structure and evolution in words, pictures and pictures of equations. The equations in the PDF are not in portable symbolic mathematical form. The data from all the steps in the calibration of the model and its variations is not readily available.

I am struggling to write my own tools to transcribe a few simple equations, and to show how to combine all the equations on the Internet to help global groups to work together. I understand why the Internet is so messy and inefficient. I describe just a tiny part of it related to sharing equations

I am watching many live videos on the Internet. It is an exploding social phenomena on the Internet. I am interested in the machine vision, artificial intelligence, image processing, sensor correlation network sides of it as well. Here I am looking at a bridge over a river. At the moment I happened to start, it
