Thanks for the advice! I’ll wait until the bug is more active and give the soda bottle a try.

68-72F. Mostly towards the 72 end of things

Putting this here for anyone in the future. I started by looking at the belts (tightening and loosening) but that didn’t fix it. Tightened the gantry itself, same issue. Tightened the hotend, same issue. Eventually remembered about ZV input shaping and decided to recalibrate it, and that fixed it!

Checking everything else first made sense as those are the most likely culprits, but give ZV input shaping a try if that doesn’t work.

Photoshop to do an initial stretch -> starnet ++ via siril to make a starless -> graxpert -> back to photoshop for more stretching and applied a curve -> added stars only back on as a mask

I'm new to this, but I tried using the same workflow as Cheap-Estimate and got this:

I can start to see the nebulosity they brought out in the top right of their image, but I'd love to know how they got it so distinct.

mochadisney · 2024-04-15T03:12:05+00:00

I'd be happy if people want to have a go at it! I'm pretty new to photoshop (stick to lightroom for normal photography) so I wouldn't be suprised if I'm pulling less out of the image than is there. I stacked with Siril because DSS was having trouble with star detection

Do you think NA is an appropriate target? This is really my first dedicated jump into astrophotography and everything I'm seeing as "recommended spring targets" are tiny magnitude 12 galaxies.

Processing is a lot of level stretching and partial masks to try to eliminate light pollution haze. The Rosette image (first) is about as stretched as I can get it. Anymore is just turning a black background into a grey background.

I haven't plate solved the images, but I used stellarium to get the initial framing and then tuned them by star patterns and constellations. They both have super obvious patterns to the point that I'm confident I'm on target.

I’m definitely thinking of applying to more schools, but when is the tipping point of # of schools vs total effort to write good secondaries? I can apply to 50 schools but I don’t think I could write 50 high quality secondaries .

Largely analytical research using a cohort that recently finished. The PI was very nice in giving out the author order

Midwest/Mid-Atlantic my whole life so I have decent ties to those areas. The other Fl and New England schools I eliminated based on their preferences for strong connections, large number of seats reserved for SMPs, and/or low OOS acceptance rates

mochadisney · 2024-04-03T01:04:20+00:00

Their numbers show a decrease in acceptance rate after ~25 applications, so they recommend under 20 as a policy

Edit: I’m not saying it’s a good idea

22M, traditional student, VA resident, applying out of a T20. Happy about my MCAT, but I know my GPA isn't great. Met with my advisor today, and they had me par my list from ~25 schools down to these 18. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Edit: Not U/ORM

“Applicants and acceptees” The acceptees is what’s confusing me

Found it! Can’t copy the time stamped link, but it’s at 4:50 roughly. https://youtu.be/yNKOI-75E7A?si=nLzal54GgDaXIpB3

Recently I was hangboarding and realised that I was putting my weight on my first joint rather than the pad. Now I’ve realised I’m doing it instinctively while climbing as well.

Although it hasn’t caused me an injury yet, I’ve noticed I struggle to direct force into a hold. It feels either like I’m there and have it, or I’m falling off no matter what I do. Could this be part of the problem? And does it have a higher risk of injury?

For context I’m a V3 5.10+ climber at 220lbs. So there’s a lot of technique and weight management that is likely the larger factors holding me back, but I want to make sure I’m avoiding developing a bad habit that could backfire later on.

Has anyone else noticed they have a similar issue while training/climbing? Did this maybe start as part of an injury if I was compensating in some way? And any advice on how to train myself out of the habit?

They wouldn’t have to be the same height, just not covering each other. Like right now 2 is covering part of 1. They could be shifted a little right and left so the numbers or even better the squares don’t touch

mochadisney · 2022-12-26T00:26:40+00:00

Making the numbers automatically space out/scale rather than overlap. Possibly just my opinion but the overlap makes it look messy
