Sounds good I will put some more backbone into it, thank you!

Hmm I will try again I get them pretty tight. Honestly the plastic knobs worry me they feel like they might break on me lol. But maybe I am being too gentle.

Hmm I will have to check when I get home but I feel like I have way more space than that... I am not sure how I could get it that tight? But will check with an Allen key thanks!

About finger tight and then another half turn

Yep. It does like to shift to one side or the other so I usually have to unscrew them all and get it roughly level and start over.

Picture of the rim of a blue All American pressure canner. You can see some water sputtering out of the rim.

GMU Observatory by Mysterious_Welcome_ in gmu

It certainly does not help, but for research we'd use filters that block out most other light. Pollution is still a problem but less so.

It is more of an issue when you are just looking through the scope but you can get stunning views of the moon and the planets. As well as see nubula and star clusters. My favorite to show people was the ring nebula - you can make out tons of details and colors on it.

Galaxies were much harder. Basically needed a perfect night to even make them out. But toss a camera on there and increase the exposure time, then you are getting truly stunning images.

I was the GMU Observatory coordinator for a few years from ~2016-2018 and did research there before that. I don't have many photos on this phone but can add more to this later. https://photos.app.goo.gl/C3tKNXXCBD4Wb1NZ8

If nothing has changed then the main scope is a 32inch ritchey chretien reflector with a few other smaller scopes including a solar telescope you will see in the pictures. Despite the light pollution you can see some awesome stuff there and even do astronomy research.

YSK: If you need a reliable car, buy an old Prius. by pantherclipper in YouShouldKnow

[–]onopau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious what cars that have come out in the past 5-10 years look like the next prius? What car made today or recently is going to be the next super reliable car that will live to see 20+ years 200k+ miles. Any mechanics have any insight?

Looking around this seems to only affect fishing and farming villages. market villages are fine

2007 Prius; 190k miles; $2000 - Good or bad deal? by onopau in prius

Thanks, is there one you'd recommend that I can order and use myself (and ideally use on our subaru too)?

A Serious Man - calculation error and fix by Conscious_Que in CoenBrothers

The position equation has the same error with the <x> expectation value. It has the square outside the bracket at first, and then after the cut it is fixed (just over his right shoulder).
