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.
OK, thank you for elaborating.
Genuine question: Telescopes continuously move around to stay focused on whatever they are watching - as everything is on constant motion, right?
How does your camera relate to that?
I also remember playing around with cameras when I was younger, and what I enjoyed the most was making those LSD kinda of photos, just by letting in more light at night. Stable objects would sort of “move” in the resulting photo, creating the effect. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, despite my lack of proper terminology. Similar to the wobbly whatever, live, on the telescope. And what about colour? Space and colour? Hm?
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy looking at the photos, and certainly do not want to spoil your hobby, but shit man - they do not represent reality.
Looking with your own two eyes at the moonless summer night sky, far from a luminated polluted area, is all the camera I will ever need.
I deleted my post for two reasons. I regretted posting it, and I got close to saying some things i should not have said. It is what it is, you can read the quote. And I stand by all of it.
Right. If you find it disturbing still being here, I would be happy to redact it from my post.
But I regretted posting it because it is very controversial and political. I understand that. And I do not want to do that here... so I deleted it.
Right again! You do not want to do that here, but you did, you do, and will probably continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
BTW it’s not at all controversial, it’s the truth - leaving some parts out of course.
Political? Go on, tell me that I should get vaccinated and wear a mask - so I won’t pose a danger to society.
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW, bro.
And though I have the other poster on ignore, my views ARE and always have been very nuanced on both Covid AND the Vaccine. And they have evolved. I do not think in terms of black and white, at least I try not to. I am not a Bitcoin maxi, for example. But I constantly defend even the most "toxic" of them because I think they are mostly correct. Similarly with the vaccine. The judgement those who chose not to get it went through between 2020-2021 was absolutely abhorrent in my opinion (and still is). And people who scoff at those of us who did get it, either out of trust, or through coercion is just as hideous.
I did not scoff at you because you got the vaccine. I scoffed at you because you’re a manipulator and a liar. How can I scoff on your vaccination status, when most of my family and friends (parents included),
were are just as ignorant, brainwashed and manipulated?
Vaccines can have adverse reactions in general. Some more, some less. Shit I don’t know, ask Bill about the polio vaccine in India. Or in Africa. Vaccines do mess with your immune system for sure. Your reproductive system too. But that mRNA thing is not a vaccine, it is a bioweapon. Do you remember when you posted your analysis on mRNA tech, leveraging it with your medical expertise? I do!
Call it for what it is. A bioweapon unleashed to mankind as planned, with the sole purpose to destroy AND control the population. But that doesn’t mean that 3 billion people are going to die any time soon. Humans are a very resilient species. 38%? Really? I hope not.
Anyway... I have had about enough of the vitriol and bullshit here. It's time for me to "move on to other things". Internet suicides are always overrated though.
Well, I think you’re stretching it now but whatever.
You ARE a valuable person/account to the bitcoin community, and you do have interesting thoughts, ideas and contributions. Hopefully ones that your overlords are not dictating. My objection was and always is - politicising this thread. Especially with the current ongoing bullshit.
And you know what? That’s what ordinary folks do, skip political conversations on a public Bitcoin thread. My limited replies have the intention to counteract this phenomena, potentially help people to reconsider, and put to the test their known reality. That, and dealing with the blatant lying which I cannot handle.
But hey, let’s watch the world cup. Everything is fine in the modern Coloseum arena. The plebs are having a blast.
I wish you the best, and I absolutely mean it.
