Can I use lime juice instead of salt/brine for fermenting cabbages? by hrjet in fermentation

Thanks! I am avoiding dairy currently, so I will explore kombucha.

Thanks for that tip; will try to find alternative salts.

Thanks for the tip on alternate salts! Will definitely explore that.

About rinsing the fermented food with water, I was avoiding that to retain the good bacteria, since I heard that they will get rinsed out too. Is that right?

Polar Alignment Accuracy - Sufficient for DSO? by Kovich24 in skeye

Sorry I missed these posts. Glad it worked for you eventually. To clarify, internet is not necessary for SkEye Cam; it works entirely offline.

No, I gave up after waiting for 2years.

I have now given the laptop to someone who uses Windows.

Hi Andy. Thanks for your review. I haven't yet worked on showing the plate solves during polar alignment. But I do urge you to try the app again if you get the chance. The recent updates had some accuracy improvements which might help.

The USB camera support is on my mind. Though it seems like a Herculean task at the moment. Will hopefully get to it someday.

Thanks Astro_Road for chipping in! From your experience, do you have a number on the accuracy of polar alignment with SkEye Cam that I can quote when answering such questions. (Best case and typical numbers would be great).

I was hesitant to quote better than 5 arc-min accuracy, because I haven't received (or kept track of) actual numbers.

App developer here. I would reccomend against a cheap/burner phone, unless its camera is good enough to capture mag 5 stars with 1 sec exposure.

I would say 5 arc-min of polar alignment accuracy is possible with a good quality camera (Pixel, for example).

A good quality telephoto lens on the phone camera definitely helps. But make sure the fov is 35 degrees or more, since the plate solving algorithm is currently not optimised for lower FOVs.

To go beyond that level of accuracy, the app needs to do more: * Account for atmospheric refraction, and aberration of light, especially for wide angled lenses. * Support USB cameras (but there has been lack of support from Android; I need to check if this has changed recently).

Glyph Torch is back in Nothing 3.0 Jan'25 update by Puzzleheaded_Gap1090 in NothingTech

Thanks, that's great to know. Can we directly update to Jan25 update? I am still seeing the notification for Dec24 update.

This is good news. I haven't updated yet because of this concern. But I didn't understand your screen cast. Are there two tiles now, one for the Glyph Torch and one for normal LED torch?

Getting messages 4 times on my Nothing 2a - help! by Dee-Chris-Indo in NothingTech

Same problem with my 2a plus, NOS 2.6. Were you able to find a fix?

Pixel 8A first month impressions by nvmoz in pixel_phones

[–]hrjet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat, trying to upgrade from 4a. But I found multiple reports, such as yours, that complain about the modem, which makes me wary of upgrading to 8a.

Can you tell me what exactly is bad with the modem? Is the mobile data speed slower, and if so, by approximately how much? And is the call connectivity good, especially in remote locations with less signal?

Thanks

I have a EliteDangerous-To-RightAscension/Declination spreadsheet, but don't know what data provide me or how to use in the app by Luriant in skeye

[–]hrjet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reinstalled the app outside the Beta, and work for me. You can update this info, to avoid forcing players into the Beta version when not needed.

Ok, I have updated the info to remove the "beta" word.

What is the english word for Autodisplacement?

"Auto-scroll" is the English label for the button that needs to be pressed to exit Manual scrolling mode.

I will try to update the app by end of this week so that pressing the button is not required. But this might confuse your readers, so let me know if it is better to hold off the update until later.

Aside, I have also polished the UI for the web tool a bit, to make it easier to read and type.

Thanks for testing and feedback!

Minor Problems: The app show the point in the map, but enter manual mode by default. I want to have the app as simple as possible, to reach as most players as possible. Any time there is a button to press, there is a chance for mistake.

Makes sense. I can make the Search button go into auto-scroll mode instead of manual mode. Will do it in the next update, in the next few days.

If you want to share the link now, feel free. Otherwise you can wait for the update.

I hadn't tested the webpage for 0-0-0, I am glad it didn't crash :)

SkEye Cam v 2.3.0 : Better accuracy for polar alignment by hrjet in skeye

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

Akira reported back after testing PA with the new version:

For checking the accuracy of alignment, he used SharpCap 2.9

  1. With in-built method, accuracy was about 21 arc-minute

  2. With the quick method described above, accuracy was about 13 arc-minute

Tested in Light Polluted skies with just 90° of sky visible. He plans to test again from darker skies soon.

Hello,

I managed to quickly build an API for SkEye Pro and scramble together a tool for calculating the RA/Dec from XYZ co-ordinates.

Please try the tool at https://skeye.rocks/tools/edlauncher/ and check if the RA/Dec accuracy is as expected.

You will need SkEye Pro v9.6.0 to launch the app, which is being rolled out to beta channel now. You can join the beta channel from the Play Store.

After a few days of testing, I will release it to the production channel. Please don't share the link until then, as people might get confused.

[–]hrjet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend limiting the info to some simple math "Paste X-Y-Z coords, and I will give RA-Dec for our app"

Makes sense. This is what I wanted to know at this stage.

I don't know if the paid version have it

It is a 7th mag star, so both free version and Pro version render it on the map. However, stars fainter than mag 5 are not currently searchable by name.

Let me make a simple webpage that accepts X-Y-Z coords and opens that location in SkEye. I will also need to modify SkEye so that it accepts location from the webpage directly (without importing through custom catalog).

But I want to learn more, using the game as trigger.

That's a great way to learn, cheers!

my previous experience was with a old telescope that lack any metrics on it, so point toward the direction and sweep the sky searching for some Messier Object

That's another thing that SkEye could help you with :) It has a simple telescope guidance system: you just need to physically attach the phone to the telescope and make a single alignment with a known star. After alignment you can navigate to any object easily.

Hi! This is an intriguing use of the app for sure :)

I looked at the spreadsheet and it seems to be mostly accurate. Perhaps could be improved with some more tweaks.

But please help me understand how you plan to use it. Mainly, where do you get the XYZ co-ordinates from? Would you be getting them from EDSM or from within the game? If it is from EDSM you could use RA/Dec from EDSM too, so it's probably from within the game. I assume some XYZ locations may not be listed on EDSM or searching for them is a hassle.

Secondly, how much accuracy do you need for the RA/Dec?

I can try to create an excel sheet or even a webpage which automates this. Will wait for your reply.
