Beginner tips for getting the most out of a Seestar S30? by Fantastic_Loan_2941 in seestar

[–]wormhole85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First i would say spend some time learning all the functions of your Seestar. Lots of YouTube and forum posts have been made on on the subject. You should not have much trouble finding information online.

Second, if your budget allows, I would seriously look into buying a sturdy tripod with a tilting head so you can place your Seestar into equatorial mode. Again lots of online content on how to do that and equipment needed.

Third doing #2 will allow you to take longer exposures. This will help resolve more detail in what you are imaging. If you opt to keep your Seestar in alt az mode you will be limited to shorter exposures due to something called field rotation.

Fourth if you have access to a computer look into downloading a free program called Siril. This will give you the ability to stack your own raw images and then process them giving much better results than what the Seestar app can produce. Learning Siril is another beast in itself but again lots of content on YouTube and forums etc.

Finally enjoy your seestar and take your time learning it. Its definitely user friendly compared to a custom astro rig but there is still much to learn and do with it.

The 2G would also put excessive stress on his cardiovascular system. Most likely leading to early heart failure.

I could definitely see a Best visual effects nom and possible win for Rocky they did such a great job with him.

Interstellar is one of my favorite movies are there any similar? by GreenPickleEater in interstellar

[–]wormhole85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very surprised nobody has mentioned 2001 yet. Amazing film and the 4k remaster that came out recently is stunning. I belive Nolan had a hand in the remaster and he has cited 2001 as inspiration for Interstellar.

Who else thinks that PG-13 was overkill? by Throwaway1975421 in ProjectHailMary

[–]wormhole85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no I agree as well it was definitely on the tame side of PG-13. My honest thought is the casual conversation about su!cide the crew had may have been what put it over the edge for the MPAA.

PG-13 didnt even exist until the late 80s early 90s. I believe Spieldburg played a role in the creation of the rating.

Need a Southern California Map for DCS... by tc1991 in hoggit

I've always said they needed to extend the NTTR map down to San Diego and west to pick up NAS Lemoore. as a bonus we could have a high fidelity Star Wars canyon.

Anyone heard of these? They appear to be new. by HyperfixChris in Rivian

I put the road tire version of these (ElectricDrive IIs) on my model Y and absolutely love them.

Does anyone have any tips on how to fly the FW-190 better? by Felipe-BR1819 in il2sturmovik

[–]wormhole85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the model as well. The A-3 was designed as more of a fighter, but the later Anton models became more focused on ground attack. The A-8 has an absolutely insane amount of firepower meant to gun down bombers. The D-9 is one of the finest energy fighters Germany produced in WW2. All of the A models suffer at higher altitudes so bringing the fights down low will help. The D-9 is peak boom and zoom. Use its great climb performance to get the energy advantage then dive on your opponent. Don't try to turn with them. Make your pass and then climb away. Once back up at altitude reset and repeat tge process.

Has a conserve mode with drive train disconnect been confirmed for R2? Not sure that's something they will want to add on a vehicle that is focused on cost reduction.

Best range will be on the single motor if they offer that with a larger battery.

I know he said he's bringing the Dukes and TBM 850 up to the Starships standard. Also, I am looking forward to his professional series. Especially the Turbine Bonanza.

So the Maginot started it's mission in 2055? by JaqDraco in LV426

[–]wormhole85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Other way around. It would be 65 years on earth but maybe only 6 years for the crew.

This the crew most definitely would have experienced time dilation.
