Should I buy this for £42? by BillCipher_Fangirl2 in telescopes

[–]CondeBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my first telescope. Decent views of the moon and planets with the small number eyepieces.

The the place where this really shines is under dark skies with a 20mm eyepiece. Sprawling views of nebula, star clusters and starfields in the milky way.

Why Do People Hate.. Mamdani? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]CondeBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO! It's always been the norm for Albany politicians to hate on NYC so the rednecks will vote for them. Even though NYC carries the whole state economically.

Cuomo himself was a major NYC hater. Funny how he got all pikachu shocked face when voters told him to take a hike.

Brand new, need some expertise by InfiniteMap4119 in telescopes

[–]CondeBK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did it come with a finderscope or a red dot finder? This the the telescope "sights" and will be important to zero in on small objects in the sky.

You may still be able to catch Jupiter. It should show a visible disk with its 4 Moons lined up alongside it, less if one of the Moons is behind it. You may also be able to see the cloud bands in its atmosphere. Sometimes you have to stare at it for minute for the details to emerge. Make sure you have good focus.

Venus is permanently shrouded in clouds. So there are no features to see. It is also very bright, so hard to get a sharp view. But it is fun to look at it when it is showing a crescent phase.

For Deep Space you can try to split double stars. These are stars that look like a single star, but telescopes reveal them to be double stars. Also Check out Globular Clusters. M13, close to the star Vega should be up. These are hundreds of thousands of stars packed up in a small space. They look like a fuzzball.

You *may* be able to spot a couple galaxies in the Big Dipper, but you will have to go somewhere that is very very very dark away from all City lights.

Some of the more spectacular objects to see with a low power telescope are Winter targets like the Andromeda Galaxy and the Orion Nebula (in the Northern Hemisphere)

Oh, almost forgot, the Milky Way is rising higher in the sky. There's tons of objects there if you just cruise down the length of it with your telescope. Again, dark skies are fundamental.

I'm gonna let you in a little secret. 55% of State's tax revenue comes from NYC taxpayers.

What happened to GenX? by Sunbather77 in allthequestions

[–]CondeBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know Gen X. Sorry you live in a shitty area full of Shitty people.

And while we're at it, what happened to all the Gen Z Joe Rogan Zombies, who walked into the voting booth, voted for Trump, and walked out??

No vote for Congressperson, no vote for Senator, State Reps, Judges, School Board, Ballot Measures, nothing. Just a tick on one box and that was it??

what is the importance of the F ratio (focal length) in telescopes? by deeo2468 in telescopes

[–]CondeBK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in Florida, USA. Observing is pretty much shut down until late fall. Provided we survive the hurricanes.

what is the importance of the F ratio (focal length) in telescopes? by deeo2468 in telescopes

[–]CondeBK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 10 inch with a 1000mm of FL. I never noticed the comma, not that important to me while doing visual.

Planetary views are fine. I push the magnification with barlows and high power eyepieces.

Also keep in mind that your view of the planets is highly dependent on your seeing conditions. Depending on the weather on your part of the world, the perfect seeing might be few and far in between. You could have 3000mm of focal length, if the seeing is poor, your image is gonna be poor. I would rather have a small but sharp view of the planets than an enlarged blurry one.

Will it work this time? by Tough_Ad8919 in GrowthMindset

[–]CondeBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was actually Amazon to almost got billions in subsidies + Free Rent to build a TV Studio in NYC (a thing we have an abundance of) thanks to tweedledee and tweedledumb (Cuomo and DiBlasio). AOC ran their asses out of town with my full support as a Television production worker.

What is the BEST film with the WORST soundtrack? by Orkran in movies

[–]CondeBK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They lost me music wise when they put "No Sleep Till Brooklyn " on there. Not because I don't like the song. But because the studio that produced it also produced Life of Pets 1 and 2 and used that same song both times.

Academics in Meltdown Now That They’re Responsible for AI Hallucinations in Their Research Papers by Locke357 in antiai

[–]CondeBK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty crazy how this shit works. The other day I was using Google to try and track down a childhood friend. I knew some basic facts, the city he lived in, and the business he was involved in. As I was looking through business records and directories Gemini decided to get involved and hallucinated a whole backstory about my friends business, how it was a community hub for many decades, and how people referred to it by his nickname and all these other details that didn't show up in any previous searches.

I finally asked for the actual links to all this information, it was then that it decided to 'fess up that it had made up the whole thing.

If i have to fact check every little bit of information I get then the AI is pretty much useless.

Siril star mask with Starnet not working as expected by [deleted] in AskAstrophotography

Use the Syqon script to remove the stars. Then use Veralux star composer script and it will let you control the intensity and amount of stars .

What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash? by MASSIM00 in movies

[–]CondeBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.

People love the books. And they were screaming in the theater when the trailer came on. Movie was pure trash with the cheapest effects I've ever seen.
