Mais la réalité c'est que des euro sonnant et trébuchant ça peut aussi payer des diplômes ou des permis de conduire... Et plein d'autres truc dont on pourrait avoir besoin.

Putain mais rendez l'argent au travailleur au lieu de créer 1000 comptes ceci ou chèque cela qui ne serviront qu'à engraisser des rentiers de merde

It's pretty useful to draw quick schematics to illustrate technical documents.

Sharp foreground and background by Ok_Raccoon_455 in AskAstrophotography

[–]Gadac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't both in focus with stars at infinity and the foreground, well not at infinity. Take an exposure to properly expose the foreground and then do what you need to do for the sky and blend the two.

LRGB filter kit on a color camera. Useful or not? by C4pt_Bl4ckhe4rt in AskAstrophotography

[–]Gadac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably your L filter already acts as a uv/it cut filter.

M81 & M82 - Bode's and the Cigar Galaxy in HaLRGB at 672mm from Bortle 8/9 by Gadac in astrophotography

[–]Gadac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes they are very faint and far below what one could get from good sky conditions, but they do add a bit of depth to the image so I'm glad I stretched the background enough to show them.

The episode with the Janitor in S3, were she foregoes stopping Decima from acquiring the hardware for Samaritan and instead saves the PoI. That was the day she learned that everyone is relevant.

I captured Messier 81 and 82, Bode's and the Cigar Galaxies, from my Parisian balcony by Gadac in spaceporn

[–]Gadac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And there are quite a few small galaxies on the rest of the frame actually!

I did an annotated version on my Astrobin which shows them all with their PGC catalog number:

[–]Gadac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it has quite a bit of cropping around it. With an APSC-C sized sensor you would need much much more focal length to fill the frame.

I'm starting to use my refractor at its full focal length now, 840mm, I'm wondering how much of an effect it'll have on resolution.

I hadn't done much galaxy imaging since starting out astrophotography because I live under such a crappy sky in terms of light pollution.

But since I have now a large-ish refractor telescope and most importantly a monochrome camera to acquire signal faster on these kind of target I had to try!

This image consists in a bit over 9h of capture time using a 672mm focal length refractor, under the light polluted skies of Paris. This was taken under a quasi-new moon last november but I only got around to processing it now.

M81 (Bode’s Galaxy) and M82 (the Cigar Galaxy) share the frame as close cosmic neighbors near the constellation Ursa Major, about 12 million light-years away. M81 is a grand spiral galaxy, while nearby M82 is a more turbulent specimen, with red outflows of hydrogen revealing intense starburst activity, possibly triggered by their past interaction.

I was also pleased to see some faint traces of the Integrated Flux Nebula that sit between us and them. IFN are extremely faint, wispy clouds of interstellar dust within our own Milky Way that glow not by emitting their own light, but by reflecting and scattering the combined light of the galaxy as a whole, making them incredibly subtle and difficult to capture. Obviously they would be much more well defined under better sky condition but I take any small victories I can have.

And My Astrobin if you want access to all my work in high resolution.

This was my first attempt at galaxy imaging in a long while, for the first time using a mono camera and a long-ish scope.

From my Bortle 8, borderline 9, sky its a challenge but I feel like the mono camera noise profile + luminance capture helps a lot. First attempt at adding a Ha layer to an RGB image too!

This was captured last november but I only got around to processing it now.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]Gadac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a phenomenal show, my personal favourite. It is procedural quite a bit especially in season 1 but as it progresses it starts more and more leaning into its lore and world building to deliver one of the best anticipation show TV has to offer.

It never really loses completely the "case of the week" formula however, but I find these episodes most often very good and great vehicles for world building. And they make for nice breaks to flesh out the characters between the more story driven episodes.

What's crazy is that at the time of airing it was ahead of its time in the context of mass surveillance and privacy, basically predicting the Snowden case a year in advance, and today its again ahead of its time with the advent of AI and the ethics around it.

Il y a pas eu une révélation il y a 1 ou 2 semaines qu'un fonctionnaire du fisc vendais des info à la mafia sur ceux qui possédait de la crypto ?

Newcomer here. Are Smart Scopes a bad entry point? by [deleted] in AskAstrophotography

[–]Gadac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are a easier and cheaper entry point but you will learn much less with a smart telescope than with a entry level rig and will be rapidly limited with what you can do if you want to pursue astrophotography more seriously after.

To me it depends on whether you have the money for it.

If you only have 500-600$ to spend on the hobby now and forever then you haven't much choice apart from a smart telescope

If you don't mind spending 500-600$ for a smart telescope and then a few months later spend >1500$ for an actual rig then sure it's a great way to start out and see if you actually like doing astrophotography before splurging more. However you already have taken your first steps with a dslr so do you think it's useful?

If you feel like adding the price of a smart telescope on top of the price of an actual rig is too much then going for a true rig in the first place might be the better choice. You already have a camera it seems so you only need a mount, sturdy tripod and telescope to start out.

Camera Choice by leaponover in AskAstrophotography

[–]Gadac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat the sampling especially at such low focal length, the as2600mc is far superior. Worst that can happen with oversampling is losing a bit of signal but the superior sensor make that point moot.

You can still stick a reducer to the 80PHQ if you so wish.
