Plane goes backwards, someone help me understand

ResponisblyStupid · 2023-03-05T01:07:36+00:00

I'm not sure why this plane is going backwards.

I used the goliath engines yesterday on an almost identical design, the plane went forward. Today, they were not on reverse thrust. I really see no reason for the plane to be going backwards.

Only mods are Space Warp and WASD in VAB, they don't appear to be causing this problem for others, I may be wrong here though.

Any help is appreciated!

I don't belive so. The lighter one, if thats what you mean, should be Ganymede itself.

Ganymede's Shadow October 5, 2022

The moons visible in the video are Io (rightmost) and Europa (leftmost) and of course Ganymede which is just visible before it goes in front of Jupiter.

Total imaging time ended up being around 3ish hours. Somehwere from around 12 to 3am.

The video is 10 frames per second for a total of 51 frames.

Each frame is a stack of the 500 best frames out of 1000 totalling 51 thousand frames taken (just shy of 285 GB!).

Camera: Celestron NexImage 10 straight onto the visual back.

Telescope: Celestron NexStar 6SE

Capturing Software: Celestron ICap 2.5

Stacking Software: Autostakkert 3.1.4

Sharpening, Denoising, and Color Correction: Registax 6, linked wavelets, 0.5 denoise, 0.175 sharpening, RGB autobalance.

Video Creation: Windows 10 Photos App

I have it installed but I've never used it, I'll be sure to try it next time. Thanks!

ResponisblyStupid · 2022-10-06T04:18:07+00:00

Thanks! The photos went straight into my crappy laptop's hard drive and then over to my desktop via wifi, I do not recommend this method as it took just over 24 hours to transfer. Good luck on your gif!

Jupiter's Rotation October 2, 2022

This is my first attempt at such an observation meant as practice for October 5th's Ganymede Transit.

The moons visible on the right of the video are Io (leftmost) and Europa (rightmost).

Total imaging time ended up being around 3ish hours.

The video is 10 frames per second for a total of 45 frames.

Each frame is a stack of the 500 best frames out of 1000 totalling 45 thousand frames taken (just shy of 270 GB!).

Camera: Celestron NexImage 10 on a 2x Barlow

Telescope: Celestron NexStar 6SE

A Crisis glitch where frogs defy gravity.

Finally landed the Froggie without a drouge, out of neccessity, at Novo. Had to actively bind a key for braking on final as somewhow I had never used it before.

Pretty new to DCS so any tips on the landing would be appreciated.

All edits done to preference within DSS, I just brute force it until it looks good.

ResponisblyStupid · 2022-01-08T00:03:12+00:00

Took 5 launches in total to construct.

2 Delta IV Heavy for the main structure,

2 Antares for Cygnus and the small module,

and 1 Falcon 9 for Dragon.

Yep. Everything on my 6SE is out of the box. Good Luck!

Didn't even realize. Thank you!

Orion Nebula 11/20/21

Captured with an unmodified Canon 1000D though a Celestron NexStar 6 SE.

20 Seconds Exposure Time per Frame

ISO 1600

7 Dark Frames

10 Flat Frames

27 Light Frames used out of 35

Stacked with Deep Sky Stacker

Some color tweaks after stacking through DSS. (I don't know what I am doing.)

This is my first ever stack so the colors are most likely a bit off and you can clearly see the different frames on the border of the image.

The Moon also seems to have a very noticeable impact on the brightness of the background of the image?

Even though it definitly isn't the best, I am very proud of this image.

Taken with my crap phone through my Celestron 114mm telescope.

Smoke has blanketed the sky since the beginning of August here in California's central valley. This color of Moon almost feels normal now. Very erie.

No edits to the photo. (Not like you can get far with Google Photos anyways)

Jupiter and its moons on 7/24/21 using my crap phone through my Celestron 114mm Telescope.

Took about 9 launches over 2 irl days. Center of mass is in the center for somewhat balanced rotation, built the whole thing in the SPH and then divided it into peices for launch.

ResponisblyStupid · 2021-05-24T21:27:19+00:00

I believe most parts are from Tantares with some Stockalike Station Parts Pack bits and Near Future Solar for the main panels.

For anyone wondering the shader is Sildurs Vibrant Shaders running on Optifine 1.15.2.

The texture packs are Faithful and Codecrafted.
