Thank you for the clear explanation. It seems there is a measure of choice and artistry involved. I looked just now and hte Neptune M is a Sony IMX178 sensor, I have two of those that are mono/color. packaged as ZWO. I only use them to look at the noise, I have about 40 cameras

Can you give particulars of lenses, camera, settings, exposure, filters, post-processing, software? I just joined this group and have not had time to look around. I have been following space based and

Forest Research @Forest_Research Stem cracks are defects in firs and conifers. Affected timber isn’t suitable for structural uses, reducing value. We’re researching this. Snr Scientist Ruben Manso explains why and asks forestry professionals to report cracks using TreeAlert. 🔗 https://forestresearch.gov.uk/news/139764-stem-cracks-in-conifers-report-it-via-treealert/ https://pic.x.com/kabfzsdnse Replying to @Forest_Research I carved wood for several decades and my first thought seeing

To: Fuzhou Hundreds Optics Inc 100Optics.com, Some very low light and NIR sensors might be able to pick up LWIR, out to thermal wavelengths 5-15 microns — if they used ZnSe lenses or GaAs. You could check pretty easily. I think the Sony Starvis might work but would need to use statistical methods and high

I came across a ZWO ASI715MC recently and bought one to check out. But they are NOT into machine vision or security, since their chosen market is astronomers. Over the years I see Sony doing innovative things, but finding a stable development environment is difficult. Perhaps working directly with Sony would be more productive, fundamental

Global Data: Black Hole Size in Perspective at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkO9YbOOll4 Thank you for that. But suggest you add the big bang region as well. It is essentially an open black hole. Look at the volume per solar mass of each of these you listed. A region can be unconsolidated and still be “black” trapping light. My

Humans can colonize Milky Way Galaxy with intelligent devices, and search for gravity signals. — Galactic civilizations using intelligent devices can live billions of years. So the most likely “species” for human devices to meet would be intelligent devices. Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope might look for intelligent messages in the galactic plane. And space
