@@AnkitSaiyan Time is meaningless for photons, they are a massless particle travelling at the speed of light. Between two inertial frames, this phenomena is called time dilation. The faster you go, the lesser time it takes for you to reach there. Now, imagine going on a space journey on a ship that's travelling at the speed of light. You leave Earth in 2050 and come back in 2100. For the people on Earth, relative to you, 50 years have elapsed, but for you no time would have passed. Of course, at light speed, mass begins to approach towards infinity, and length of an object contracts, but again, photons are massless particles who don't experience distance and time altogether. Photons live on null surfaces where all events are null separated. This means that for the photon, its own emission (e.g. from the Sun) and absorption (e.g. your eye's retina) is a single event. There are no defined notions such as "happening", "process", or "experience."

There must be for certain! We photograph them and they us. This is impossible there wouldn't be at least 1 intelligent civilisation in each galaxy that is enough metalic. Metalicity causes that the magnetic fields around stars and planets can exist. They protect systems and planets with their living creature. I just wonder how they look like and how they perceive everything around... Possibly they look like snails and see in the darkness or move much faster than Us :) Everything possible!

Possibly didn’t bin because of time , don’t forget when you bin 2x2 your sacrificing sensitivity for resolution so you exposure times will tend to be longer to pull out those details I honestly just use a reducer and image at bin 1 when using mono with filters and bin 2 with a reducer when using osc Naive focal length of f8 for me and with the reducer it puts me at .62 on the image scale between .67 and 2 being ideal for my skies
@regp5
3 жыл бұрын
@Anthony Grillo You are extremely incorrect and I'll explain why... Binning a camera combines pixels which makes the camera gather light faster which in turn increases SNR and lowers read noise. So binning makes image acquisition faster not slower. Resolution is determined by the pixel size of the camera, the focal length of the telescope, and the seeing conditions. In Trevor's case he is oversampled because the 2600s pixels are too small for the telescopes long focal length. Binning 2x2 will effectively double the cameras pixel size which will in turn get the system closer to a proper sampling. You only lose resolution if you are undersampled and even then you can drizzle to recover resolution. The Edge 11 with FR has a focal length of 1960mm. The 2600 binned 2x2 gives an effective pixel size of 7.52um. This combination yields a resolution of 0.79 arc/px. Still over sampled but significantly less oversampled then the same camera at native pixel size which would yield 0.4 arc/px of resolution. Most people dont have sub 1" seeing so he definitely isn't losing resolution nor will he be slowing down acquisition. In fact, being so oversampled actually is slowing down his acquisition.

So, as an older guy talented in art and music, but, who ran the planitarium in my High School. Read, subbed to Astronomy Magazine in 1981 to 1990'ish. During the bland, dead era of one subject Astronomy news (What are Quasars?). And lived though obsessive talk of high speed celluloid 35mm SLR film, I'm really enjoying the younger guys on KZitem break out the advanced gear of today. During the Jupiter/saturn Conjunction last year I walked up and down the Redondo Beach Boardwalk and found a dude with such a cool setup. I think, a small, black, portable, (expensive?) 4" × 1ft long Schmitt Cassegrain reflector. Maybe 3". Smaller, and lighter than the Cannon SLR (telescopic telephoto lens crowd surrounding us). He just took his google pixel phone, mounted it on the back, and got sharper pics than I've ever seen. His saved stacked pics from Mars' Conjunction were just unreal! I remember walking into a star party in Tucson, AZ on the U of A campus during a lunar eclipse in spring 2003. Comparing the sharpness of planets and moon through the 4 - 5 Astrophysics Refractors out there. And comparing them to every other scope (40 - 50). I remember the Astrophysics scopes just winning every time. This guy with the google phone pics reminded me of what I saw at that party.
