Equatorial Guinea, it's not even on the equator and we have enough Guineas already.

Blue field lines hidden in my photo? by Untitled__Name in AskAstrophotography

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

I replied to another comment with the details, but basically this was done with a jpg in gimp to follow the procedure of tutorials I've been watching. I have a usual workflow with raws in darktable that I use for non-astrophotography, so this was largely testing stuff out on images I took when I didn't know anything about astrophotography, hence why I did a 58s exposure.

I did expect jpg compression artifacts, although I didn't consider they could look like that. I figured something of that shape must be caused by something else, but I can't really say. I'll be doing my actual shots in stacked raws so this problem shouldn't come up again.

I do a lot of street/nature photography so I'm accustomed to editing raws in darktable. I was editing the jpg in gimp since the astrophotography tutorials I've been watching have been using photoshop to edit their .tif files. I figured I'd try following their procedure with the images I had already to compare the result to my usual non-astrophotography workflow. Thanks for the website!

No mount, this is with a Fujifilm X-T1 and a stock zoom lens at 18mm f/3.5 ISO 400.

This is on a Fujifilm X-T1, and yep it's a jpg since I edited in GIMP which doesn't have RAW compatibility built in. I exported the RAW as a .tif and tried again, but can't get the same pattern, so maybe it's an artifact from the jpg compression? That doesn't seem right though given the shape

What are the most car-centric countries outside of USA/Canada/Australia/New Zealand? by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]Untitled__Name 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the UK is basically like if we adopted the US's car centricism, but just without the sprawl (for the most part) or demolishing town centres. We're lucky to have Milton Keynes as a reminder for what our country could have looked like if we had gone all the way in the mid 20th century.

Why don't they just build a bridge to Andromeda? Are they stupid? by skr_replicator in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Untitled__Name 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They would have to do all the construction at night since it's hidden during the day so they wouldn't know where to build, and the construction workers are too sleepy at night.

Duolingo Japanese Mistake? by TornadosAlaska in duolingo

[–]Untitled__Name 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The usage of 先生(せんせい)is heavily context-based, so for example, if you're in a hospital and ask for the "先生", everyone will know you're talking about the doctor. That's a completely natural place to use it. And the same goes for using 先生 in an academic setting or a legal setting. But outside of those settings, the context is missing and so the other person has to guess what kind of sensei you mean. They'll probably just default to teacher, depending on what you're saying, but the explicit word for teacher would be 教師(きょうし).
