NGC6946 Fireworks Galaxy
  • I took the stacked fit from ASIAir and processed in SIRIL: cropped, extracted background, photogrammatic color correction, and deconvolution, and finally a asihn histogram stretch.

  • NGC6946 Fireworks Galaxy

    Mount: iOptron CEM40 Telescope: Nexstar 8SE @ f/6.3 Camera: ASI183MC Pro Control: ASIAir Pro

    Live stacked with 78 three minute subs. I binned the subs 2x2 to reduce oversampling with the IMX183 chip's tiny pixels. !

    How could SI units be derived from scratch without the use of modern technology?
  • Your definition of the meter leaves out the most interesting part. Yes, it was 1,000, 000th the distance of the equator to the North Pole, but how far is that? That wasn't known accurately in the 18th Century. So, two Frenchmen, Delambre and Mechain conducted the longest meridian survey every attempted. They also did so while half of Europe was at war with one another. It was an amazingly dangerous endeavor. There is also significant evidence they totally flubbed and hand-waived their results. So, although their science ended up being questioned, the process and method was accepted and the Meter was defined.

  • I'm too stressed out to function and pissed at the world. What's the best bbq sauce to put on chicken legs?
  • Seems like you could use a kick start for something different. Let me suggest Alabama White Sauce. Tangy, a little heat, and some lip sweat.

    Alabama White BBQ Sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise

    1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

    1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

    Salt

  • Cluster bombs: Ukraine using munitions 'effectively', says US
  • Ukraine MOD has a program in place that databases every cluster munition fire mission. Demining eastern Ukraine is going to be a years long effort. Any unexpended ordinance will go into that effort. Countries that gave up cluster munitions have had their rose tinted glasses on too long and assumed war would be limited to foreign battlefields and not their back yards.

  • What is the law like on unwanted fatherhood in your country?
  • Wow, so paternity determined by DNA is insufficient to determine a child isn't a man's progeny in Sweden? Further, there is no recourse in the event of the wife's infidelity without the actual father stepping up? That feels like an unjust trap.

    Towards your actual question, in the US it's not automatic. Child support is almost always a consideration for adjudicating divorce if minor children are present. Unwed mothers would have to seek support through the courts if the father refuses.

    Does bring up the question of paternal rights in cases where the man does not want a child. He can't have an abortion like the woman if she doesn't want the pregnancy. Definitely a hard thing to balance and be just in all cases.

  • What would Twitter look like with an absolute number of Likes in the system?
  • Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you're going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.

    With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That's the point though isn't it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.
