- OOM who thinks that he is actually shooting those photos. I’ve been to observatories a few times in my life, and I know what they are able to see - which is jack shit. A blinking colourless fucking light. The rest is artificially layered on top - as you’ve admitted from the start, but it doesn’t change the fact that everything you see on those photos is fake.
BTW, your broker is in no way faster than my 2 minute (on the exchange) wired transfer.
Every adult human, not visionally impaired, is about to "see" (collect) 1/15 (one fifth) of a second of light via the retina, where actually only a few percent of all the light which hits the cornea gets through. THIS is why we humans see "jack shit" with our eyes, even with the most powerful of telescopes.
Have a read yourself:
The telescope also can collect light for a longer time than your eye: Telescope exposure time is up to 60 seconds, compared to your eye's 1/15 th of a second "exposure". (That is, your eye can collect light for no more than about 1/15th of a second before sending an image to your brain.)
https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/webscope/activities/pdfs/eyeTelComp.pdfSee, digital and film cameras are able to collect light for much longer time, and from a broader sprectrum, like these FLIR "night vision" devices, capturing low frequency light (aka. radiating heat - "heat" because compared to 0° Kelvin, everything is heat, even the "coldness" inside of your freezer). Visible and invisible Light is just Energy.
Sum that up, and you see these images indeed show what is "out there", but not being visible to our eyes. Astronomers collect data from the same spot in the night sky for hours, even days, with a spectrum as wide (and useful) as possible. As a matter of detail, mostly all of the light they collected is still very dim, and they do two things to come over that and result in a beautyful picture: "Stretch" the low light, so that a litte bit more bright than totally dark actually almost gets white, and filter out the read noise and other artifacts that sort of cover up the darker areas, where really much of that background data emitted by space objects is.
As of the wired transfer, we seem to have about the same speeds now.
This wasn't the case a few months before, when it took at least one working day via SEPA.
Seems the banks are stressed to deliver comparably fast transfer times in relation to Bitcoin, while they miss to get up to Lightning-like levels?
