Synchronizing images of the sun and other things, with many independent observers

How do I match up your image with ones from public sources? Here is a GONG H-alpha from Cerro Tololo (CHL) for 2024-10-25 13:38:42Z. Is is possible to match images from different places on earth and compare them? https://gong2.nso.edu/HA/hag/202410/20241025/20241025133842Ch.jpg Here is the page I found by searching “live H alpha images of the sun”.

Sharing Lossless images and videos on the Internet

https://x.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1848782359967002993 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs8iGuyocCs Sharing Lossless images and videos on the Internet Very expensive hobby, lots of specialized equipment, remote location, communication services, software and time. And no shared raw data or videos. I have always hated ‘astronomers’ who say “look what I can do and you cannot afford”. When I was little I had people who

Do lossless copies of the images from this group exist, for study, algorithm development?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1278689162297491 – Solar Photography group on Facebook Valter Schemmari Do lossless copies of the images from this group exist, for study, algorithm development? These are jpg (lossy) here and I do not want to waste any time playing with encoded and lossy data. Any suggestions? Where there are videos, likewise. I do not have any

When I have time, I simply work with the data from lossless sensors

https://x.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1844364999051051492 https://www.facebook.com/reel/1041287977274214 When I have time, I simply work with the data from lossless sensors and refuse to waste time on publication (lack of quality) pictures and (too trivial) “words about” things where most people never even try to work with the raw data. Because the raw data is all there is, the rest is

Stable human and sensor platforms at 100,000 feet (30.48 kilometers) have many practical uses

https://www.facebook.com/reel/3569076983383721 The company successfully completed the first un-crewed space balloon flight. My comment:  Stable human and sensor platforms at 100,000 feet (30.48 kilometers) have many practical uses Take payloads and people that high then use solar sails and atomic fuels to leave and come back, or stay on station.  It does not have to go

Making AI movies to immortalize actors and actresses, to give viewers and authors direct engagement

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_Vu_(2006_film) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9a3GsU7NJI My Comments: Making AI movies to immortalize actors and actresses, to give viewers and authors direct engagement It actually gave me a good idea for a space telescope to look inside stars. We have preliminary ones now, but the movie suggests — “just keep going”. And if you keep applying the algorithms, the

So simply make intelligences that are eternal with replacement

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1211856840011369 My Comment:  So simply make intelligences that are eternal with replacement Then send them at C/100 and simply take 10 Million years. The galaxy lasts billions, so you can populate it that way and go back and forth many times in the life of a galaxy. My bet is most galaxis are not populated by

Could many black holes and neutron stars orbit each other, never give off light, be stable dark and massive?

https://www.facebook.com/reel/368957195878661 https://x.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1837945971533135955 My Comment: Could many black holes and neutron stars orbit each other, never give off light, be stable dark and massive? Do these stars give off gravitational radiation when they do this? It might be long wavelength and weak and not in the right direction, but it follows very specific orbit and directions,

A “standard” not shared completely on the Internet is not a workable tool for global collaboration

Freya Blekman @freyablekman #CMSPaper 1338 describes a precision measurement of the production rate of the quantum carriers of the weak force, the Z and W bosons.
