Thank you for the clear explanation. It seems there is a measure of choice and artistry involved. I looked just now and hte Neptune M is a Sony IMX178 sensor, I have two of those that are mono/color. packaged as ZWO. I only use them to look at the noise, I have about 40 cameras

Can you give particulars of lenses, camera, settings, exposure, filters, post-processing, software? I just joined this group and have not had time to look around. I have been following space based and

I spent much of the day tracing out software used by the Fu Ori teams mentioned in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad31a1. It is badly organized by my lights (My first full time job was “scientific programmer” for satellite orbit determination in 1970) and I spent much of the last 26 years every day looking at ways to simplify

I am reading the 14 repositories for CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) at https://github.com/orgs/casangi/repositories There are only 6942 files and 1814 folders in total and what appears to be many duplicates. And MANY duplicate file and folder names. A good part of the problem with CASA is the poor methods for file management. If

I heard that Elon Musk was going to put high resolution lossless format cameras on all his satellites — pointing at all part of the heavens, to give all humans a live stream of their part of the night sky. Thanks, Elon, for giving back the night sky. Two billion kids say thanks. @X, Could

Richard Posted on Twitter (“X”): @zdhnarsil There are many Internet topics badly fragmented because groups do not think globally. Solar groups ought to give one seamless “sun”. https://helioviewer.org/ https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ AIs COULD provide global context, but AI dev groups, themselves, provide no stability. Richard Posted on Twitter (“X”): Experimental view of the Sun, from 02 to

Halo CME @halocme These supra-arcade downflows (SAD) (including tadpoles) tend to follow a very big eruption as we see them here. twitter.com/TrestanSimon/s… Quote Tweet Trestan Simon @TrestanSimon The eruption associated with today’s X-class solar flare was also associated with supra-arcade downflows, dark tadpole-shaped features that sometimes appear descending above flare arcades.

I want observing stations near the sun to monitor it closely and continuously. Sunlight so close, might as well gather some into “atomic fuel”. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: The earth has a specific distance and velocity for “geosynchronous” satellites. What is the radius and velocity of a solar synchronous orbit for a satellite

Hi Athiray, I was just going to write you. I am reading about soft x-ray camera noise. “Performance characterization of UV science cameras developed for the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter” And now reading “Modeling charge transport in Swept Charge Devices for X-ray spectroscopy” I have been tracking the solar imaging groups for several years, and slowly
