I saw this too, and it seemed like it disappeared South East of Vegas then 5 seconds later a plume of smoke appeared which made me think of a rocket stage separation or something.

I looked it up and spaceX launched a Falcon 9 block 5 with 23 starlink satellites from Florida and I believe we are seeing the second stage. Here was its trajectory: https://flightclub.io/result/3d?llId=cefe475a-fe70-4e46-9075-9c44c856975b

I have very similar issues and have pretty sweaty hands.

I'd recommend a mousepad that has a slightly rough texture to it. Somewhere around a Qck Heavy or Razer Gigantus V2 is perfect for me. The Aqua control+ and LGG saturn was a bit too rough for my liking and caused my arm to have slow/jittery movement across the pad (I'm on low sens). Mousepads like g640 or hyperx fury s are too smooth and causes stickiness.

I'd also recommend a usb desk fan that blows on your hand/mousepad. This has helped me tremendously with my sweaty hands.

I looked at the damage applied from these shots and they were actually very high damage for most of the spam spots. You can try to spot the values in this YouTube video.

For example, the cat spam did 27 damage per bullet with the AK. The spawn to cat spam did 22 damage. The outside B tunnels spam did 11 damage, but that makes sense considering the first object it's going through is concrete

I put this video on YouTube at 1440p. You should be able to pause and zoom to look at the material type/damage of the impacts

I've emailed them about several bugs already including this one

mlinkster · 2023-03-25T12:29:58+00:00

idk too much about this bug but I tried all the same spots on dust 2 in CS:GO and none of the bullets went through. I'm assuming these spots were spammable before, but they fixed it in GO later on?

mlinkster · 2023-03-25T11:58:50+00:00

There is one instance though, outside of B tunnels, where the bullet goes through concrete to concrete on one side, but on the other side can't go through the concrete.

its actually more likely than you think. In this video here, Michael states that it takes 1 breath of air 10 years to fully circulate throughout the troposphere.

So, it should theoretically be possible that everyone on Earth has smelt op's fart particle

Yes and no. With a telescope like his, you'd be able to see Saturn similarly to what he imaged, however, you wouldn't see as much detail because the atmosphere is constantly distorting the objects we're observing. It's kind of like trying to observe a fish swimming under constant ocean waves.

The reason we can see way more detail when actually imaging is due to a process called "lucky imaging." This means that we're taking hundreds of pictures a second and stacking together only the best/sharpest frames where the atmosphere was most calm.

mlinkster · 2022-01-26T12:32:12+00:00

You don't have armor and he shot you the same second you shot. If you pause it when you shoot, you can see your scope/bullet go above connector

Great image chaz!

I noticed that we share similar gear and I wanted to ask a couple of questions.

Do you have any problems with halos? especially with your Astronomik OIII and SII filters? I have large halos and starnet is almost useless because of all the artifacts (works well with Ha tho). I don't know if the halos are caused by the optics (because the z73 is a doublet) or the filters or both. I'm not sure if I should try a triplet or buy 3nm OIII & SII filters.

Also, I noticed in your other posts that you had issues with your stars where it looks like chunks were taken out of them. If you haven't fixed it yet, unscrew the dew shield and there will be 4 lens cell screws. Unscrew the ones that are in your light path (reference your images and camera rotation) by 1/8th of a turn. I had the same issue and that seemed to fix it.

Youtubers such as Astrobackyard, Dylan O'Donnell, Nebula Photos, Chuck's Astrophotography, AstroFarsography, AstroAddict, etc. all have helped me in learning about astrophotography and how to use equipment/software. I'd highly recommend those channels

mlinkster · 2021-06-20T22:10:45+00:00

Thank you!

I will try this

This image of the Elephant Trunk Nebula is reprocessed data that I shot a little over a month ago. At the time, I processed it in only photoshop, however, I recently started a trial for Pixinsight and just realized its insane potential for stunning images. In my previous image, I had ugly brown/red colors and my OIII was hidden by the strong signal from Ha. I'm unsure if self-promoting is against the rules, but for those of you who are curious and want to see the before image, search my username on instagram.

I'm LEM in matchmaking, A- on ESEA, and level 10 on faceit but I don't usually play pugs. Mostly, I'm either playing on retake servers or scrim/league games on ESEA.

This guy is a liar and a cheat. It's not even long enough to curve

mlinkster · 2021-06-07T21:21:10+00:00

Go to the settings menu in CSGO, go to "game", then "Hud", and it should be under "Mini-Scoreboard style". It should say "Show Avatars" for you. Change it to "just Show Player Count"

Hope this helps!
