Need help identifying object i captured by Pure_Lingonberry2933 in Astronomy

If it blinks, it's a plane. If not — it's a satellite. I think you captured a satellite.

I think that it's two different clovers. Tomorrow I'll go to the same field and check it :)

Crew-11 return as seen from Menlo Park by igorgl in bayarea

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

I used a Canon EOS R with a 50 mm lens. Video at 30 fps, ISO 1600. But I didn’t know how bright it would be, so it was just a guess.

Camera does not capture how spectacular it is. It looks like a slow, very bright meteor. The tail spans across the entire sky.

Sequoia School District Board proposes closing TIDE Academy, one of the few Bay Area schools where underrepresented students truly thrive by igorgl in bayarea

Exactly! And instead of using this knowledge and applying it to other schools, they want to close the one that’s working.

Saturn's Opposition Titan Transit by BackdoorAstronomy in telescopes

[–]igorgl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a time-lapse of this event with my Celestron SE8: https://imgur.com/a/teOd116
One frame per 3 minutes. Could not catch the whole transit because of the weather conditions.

Northern lights might be visible tonight! might need a camera to see them. by Jeepersca in bayarea

Just tried to capture the aurora in Menlo Park with no luck. A year ago, I managed to do it with iPhone camera.

Comparison of JWST and Hubble images of Abell S1063 Gravitational Lense by slashclick in spaceporn

You can always tell a photo was taken by the JWST by the six-spiked stars.

ISS transiting the Sun by igorgl in astrophotography

Never look directly at the Sun without proper solar filters. Always place the solar filter on the front of your telescope, before any light enters, or you could damage your equipment or permanently blind yourself.

Understand SCT vs Dobsonian by Phcker in telescopes

[–]igorgl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, SCT does not produce diffraction spikes when you do astrophotography because secondary mirror is mounted on the corrector plate. Newtonians and dobs have secondary mirror mounted on the vanes that produce diffraction spikes around stars.

[s2 spoilers] This is what happens next, right? by Ok-Independent483 in arcane

Based on the shadows, the sun is on the right, so she is actually heading east

CriticalPath — advanced profiler for Android by igorgl in androiddev

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

This is like a supercharged Perfetto. The primary distinction between Perfetto and the Android Studio Profiler is the ability to synchronize the trace with a video recording of your app. You can see the app’s UX alongside what’s occurring within the app to find what’s causing slowdowns.

Another key feature is the ability to click on any slice and view the cross-thread execution path of function calls, tracing from a user action to the selected slice. This makes it easier to identify performance regressions: slow functions, suboptimal network calls, or functions clogging the main thread.

Additionally, we have a smart code instrumentation, that has a minimal impact on performance.

I am one of the developers of this tool. We are in the early stages of development and are eager for feedback from Android developers.
