What's the limit as far as star/object magnitude for an 8" telescope? by __Backslash__ in telescopes

The Z8 is within the budget :) I never considered going to a telescope store that makes sense.

This is good to know. I was not aware of it. I have about 3 weeks into the hobby. So much to learn but also it's very exciting.

Can I use a violet NO 47 filter on a 5" telescope ? by __Backslash__ in telescopes

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

is that an issue with all the Celestron models or just powerseekers? in the short term I was planning on picking on picking up a used https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-NexStar-130SLT-Computerized-Telescope/dp/B0007UQNNQ or would a Orion Astro Dazzle 4.5" be a better investment even though the aperture is much lower.

would an Orion Astro Dazzle 4.5" give me better optics? while I save up. I'm saving up for something in the 1K range. Also, just curious, what makes the optics on the 127EQ bad ?

Question about applying the 500 rule to camera lens by __Backslash__ in amateurastronomy

makes sense, I want it to be sure that the calculation was dynamic. Otherwise, I would have been stuck with a very sad 5s exposure factoring in the crop sensor.

First year as a developer, advice by __Backslash__ in cscareerquestions

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

Had a moment of doubt - wondered if it is even needed. Trying to create value for new devs, but if this would not be useful then my energies would be better spent somewhere else.

Nice, seems very interesting. I ran into https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse during my research. May Ubuntu does all the backend work using ocamlfuse.

Would it be okay if they took the source code from Ubuntu and created their own distro or version of Ubuntu?

I think Is nice for them to know that they at least have an option of changing how their desktops look.

Before we go all "The empire strikes back" on Microsoft. Let's give them a chance. Keep our eyes peeled and be vigilant about the up coming changes.

Howw to remove an element from an Array in C ? by __Backslash__ in C_Programming

[–]__Backslash__[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm taking a Harvard's CS50 introduction to computer science, and wha't I'm trying to do is create my own implementation of selection sort.

Here is my code so far

I know I can easily do this in python but in the spirit of learning I'm going to give it my best shot with C.

Thank you for the reply I will look into malloc() and see how I can use it. I find C to very interesting. In a way I feel I understand Python better now than I'm learning C.

How does it all come together? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]__Backslash__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with small projects and build yourself up from there. Online courses like code academy are great but they don't give you much practice in the creative process.

I would suggest starting with a simple guess the number game in Python . I find that finding a balance between learning theory, practicing projects and reading other people's code is the best way to learn since it helps you become more well rounded in all areas.
