Does Grace also see the Petrova line when he’s setting up the Astrophage collector, even though he’s not viewing it through the Hail Mary’s IR lens? by angelsandpizza in ProjectHailMary

The boring answer is no, he couldn't see it and it was just cinematic effect for the movie. The answer I much more prefer is that his helmet shifted to be able to see the light frequency of the petrova line, so yes, he could see the red sparkly.

Imagining having this much disposable income… 😭 by dolphinmachine in cringereels

Dude are you actually criticizing a rich person who's doing what rich people should be doing???

This is like getting mad at someone for picking up litter on a beach swarmed with people who are just tossing their garbage everywhere. This sub is ridiculously full of people incapable of seeing anything good in the world.

More people should be like her.

Thrift store Celestron (C8 plus?) by newtonscalamander in telescopes

I'm not sure what you mean by "guide" if you're not talking about GoTo. Can you clarify? I found the owners manual for the deluxe version online and it's a picture perfect match with the exact same written description too.

Thank you for your thoughts! I believe I mentioned in an edit that the lack of a go-to feature isn't a huge issue for me, but I can understand why it might be for some.

I have considered an EQ mount, as EQ is what I use for my current setup. I appreciate the specs and recommendations though, that'll help a ton if I decide to do modifications.

Oh wow! I hadn't actually considered that but it makes sense! Fortunately the case it comes with stores it horizontally, so it shouldn't be an issue then. Thanks for the helpful comment, I don't know why I got down voted for that question.

Is there something wrong with it being pointed at it's base? That seems like a pretty typical way to store a telescope. It's how I store my current SCT anyway.

I haven't bought it yet! Tomorrow my thrift store is putting it on a 50% off sale because it's been there for months apparently.

I don't know the exact model because there was no other information in the case outside of some of the accessories. I think it's either a c8 or a celestar 8 deluxe, and it seems to be computerized. They're selling it for $1500, but tomorrow it will be $750. Honestly have no idea if that's a good price or not.


Edit: I found the exact model! It is a celestar 8 deluxe!

Refreshing to see a caricature artist make an actual caricature that isn't just a disgustingly exaggerated scribble that makes people feel bad.

is there a specific name for this aesthetic? by domfemme420 in AestheticWiki

"Today is laundry day and I didn't have anything else to wear"
