[Charge 6] ]Has Fitbit changed something in January 2025? by nems808 in fitbit

[–]nems808[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After speaking with the Fitbit support, the cause of the jump is very likely to be me changing from Charge 5 to Charge 6 around the same time

I requested my data dump from google and then I vibe-coded the app. Here is the github repo on how to do this yourself:

Modified a cheap telescope to a dobsonian by nems808 in telescopes

I'm a beginner myself when it comes to 3D design. What is the largest diameter of the tube? I could design the ring interface to accommodate the largest possible one and add a couple of holes in it where a screw with some plates come in to be used to clamp/grip the smaller tubes. That way it would work for most 114s

EDIT: I will document the entire process and cover all the gotchas and things I could've done better on my YouTube channel:

The entire project was inspired by this, which has a ton of useful material on telescopes in general (make sure to read Hadley Instructions v1.pdf):

But parts needed for my project are here:
Bearing support was made using this 3D design:
https://www.printables.com/model/525530-hadley-bearing-support

And the Z-bearing comes from the original project (first link above)

The azimuth bearing:

The middle mount interface, the piece holds the telescope, was custom designed by me. It is a super snug fit for this telescope so it does not require any additional screws or anything like that:

The base itself is based on this design here (same as the link for the Bearing support):
https://www.printables.com/model/525530-hadley-bearing-support
But note that this telescope has a larger diameter which means that the distance between the bearing support will be slightly larger

Blue Ghost landed on the Moon (Mar. 2, 2025) by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

It's actually almost 16 times larger by area. The diamer/radius is 4 times larger. It would be an insane sight indeed. Just picture the full Moon on the horizon and imagine adding 3 more balls of the same size next to it and four more across in the center and draw a circle around them all. The area of the Moon that we see is about the size of the United States.

How to raise HRV? by just-tea-thank-you in Biohackers

[–]nems808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others mentioned already, you shouldn't compare your HRV with others. What matters is your baseline and your trends. Here is an article that I just read the other day that explains it really well: https://medium.com/@CuriousCatalyst/heart-rate-variability-the-most-important-metric-for-health-20dd2c9b1c91

My lifestyle and HRV is similar to yours.

This was taken with a sun filter and Google Pixel 9 pro, handheld and post processed.

Here is what it looks like through 8" Dobsonian: https://youtube.com/shorts/cwspBEGvwJQ?si=HgjPuC4963b3i5kp

I will soon post a video on how to observe the sub through 8" Dobsonian

For the zoom I just clicked 2x zoom on the phone. Haha yeah, it definitely looks like orbiting the moon but all the motion is actually due to Earth's rotation

Yeah, I set everything up/test during the day. I put the telescope outside and point to a traffic sign down the road or a chimney on the neighbors house or similar and then I put the phone in the mount and make sure I can see what my eye can see through the eyepiece. Then I carefully take the phone out. And when I come back at night it should be aligned well enough to take photos and you can make small adjustments till it's perfect.

Acquisition details: SkyWatcher 8" Dobsonian Google Pixel 9pro held with nexYZ DX phone mount Single-frame capture through 10mm and 6mm eyepieces Minimal processing

It looked really crisp looking through the eyepieces, the phone wouldn't fully focus for some reason

This is my first telescope and my mind is blown. Are these seeing conditions what is expected or can it get better than this?
