People often say to me, "Your the smartest, most sincere, incredible and knowledgable man ever to walk the face of the earth in the entire history of humanity!" - And I look at them and ask, "Wot duz inkreddybubbile meen?"

Yeah I am usually in awe of a lot of things done by a lot of people.... The Apollo Moon Missions for instance.... It's easy to get a basic idea... but beyond that... Whoaa - there is SO much technical expertise.... I mean there was some 300,000 people involved in that project and everyone was experts in little and big ways... and in all sorts of ways... And this applies to SO many things.... The thing is that we are stuck in the middle of an arm of a spiral galaxy and so we are surrounded by stars on all sides - in 3D....... And do you know what the best thing is about being out in the middle of nowhere, on a crystal clear night, after it's rained for 3 days, and the air is clean, and the moon is on the other side of the planet, AND there is no wind - even up to the stratosphere.. and you pull out a not so basic and slightly powerful (ebay special) spotting scope with 60 x magnification? You can see a lot of stars with the naked eye. Add in a low powered "telescope" and the sky is just FILLED with millions of stars... and the sky looks kind of like Fairy Bread. Have you watched this series on the size of the known universe? This is incredibly good, but it sneaks in information that I find almost impossible to comprehend.... In every sense of the word, there is just SO much... https://www.mgtow.tv/search?ke....yword=Khan+Academy+-

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: I've been trying to convince myself for years to drop a few $$$ on a really good telescope!

@bigintol03: Well telescopes come in 3 types - things like spotting scopes, they are brilliant, cheap, portable and sort of rugged enough... BUT a 60 x magnification is only enough power to get a good look at the moon, and not much beyond that. There are decent mid priced telescopes - that can fit on the back seat or in the boot - and cost a few hundred with decent basic features, and there is scopes you can make yourself... AND then there are the accessories and bits that can turn a decent basic telescope, into a "more propera" astronomical tool... like tracking stars and computer control and anti fog heaters, and image correction sotware and camera compatability etc., and it's one of those hobbies, that if you really want to go apeshit on super good and very high detail images, you can throw a lot of money at this and get some fantastic images and views of the planets in our solar system sort of out past jupiter... AND then there is the MEGA DOLLAR research astronomy stuff - I mean this shit is really good.... AND you can join an astronomy club and or go to viewings at a public observatory - or ones that have open nights.. I mean fuck me... there is a lot in the galaxy and it's pretty incredible. Search: youtube make your own telescope and this is good, you just NEED a lot of light gathering area, which is about as basic an idea as it gets... This is good enough to have a decent look at most things in our universe... and from there, everything escalates in price, precision and capabilities... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta5GCJMH85o Then there are the proper astronomical BIG ticket items... https://www.mmto.org/ - they are cockheads, because they don't put in fuck all images about what they are observing..... https://www.mmto.org/photo-galleries/ https://www.mmto.org/wp-conten....t/uploads/2010/08/la https://www.mmto.org/wp-conten....t/uploads/2010/08/ec

@bigintol03: There is a lot of information in a lot of forums, and there is a lot of astronomy clubs... Do all your research and ground work in those places and you know, I really like astronomy - but my 60 power spotting scope, really is limited to a "much better" look at the moon than with the naked eye, but it just doe not have the light collection area, and the magnifcation to amplify it, so the closest planet Mars, is not just a tiny red dot, it is a slightly bigger red dot. I cannot see any moons around it or any surface features... so since it is a spotting scope, and the moon is the limit, I don't use it for astronomy - it just runs out optical puff... Though, in having had a much better look at the moon, I am really impressed and awed at how big the moon craters are and how high the walls of the impact craters are - 'Fuck me! That is a fucking HUGE hit." https://math.nyu.edu/~crorres/....Archimedes/Crater/Mo

@bigintol03: Also when people in astronomy clubs upgrade from fairly good telescopes to very good telescopes, you can often pick up some excellent gear at a low price and your able to get a test run and help in setting it up - how to run it and things like that... prior to buying... If it cost like $800 new, and it's 5 or 10 years old and still in pretty good condition, and you can get it for $200 - $250 - fuck - try before you buy = take it... There is a semi public observatory that is close enough by here and I would like to go to the open nights at $20 a head to have a look.... See I love astronomy - fantastic, like once I reach the limits, say I get a really good telescope, it gives good images, but it needs a rock solid set of mounts, well I go design some rock solid, free spinning mounts, maybe with a motor drive and tracking and found the image quality to be as good as I can get... well most of the thrill is in the improving - and once the look is improved and the exciting equations have worked out, then it's Meh... other things to do. BUT other people like to hunt ateroids... It gets really interesting with maths, science, star navigation and location etc... https://phys.org/news/2023-05-....astronomers-asteroid ------ https://www.nasa.gov/mediacast/asteroid-hunting ------ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorite_hunting - it just gets really clever, in all directions, really fast....

@bigintol03: I have never had a really good say 250mm newtonian telescope to use a mobile phone camera on.... for night work on their own, they were never designed to work with light levels that are 1/10,000th day light levels (or what ever) and they do work with telescopes.. BUT I am a bit dumb on this because I am ignorant, because I lack the experience to make a qualified opinion on.... but MOST of the really dedicated enthusiasts, start spending up on cameras - either adapted really good cameras with HUGE CMOS chips or they get dedicated cameras to fit to their telescopes, again OTHER PEOPLE with the knowledge and experience, in the clubs and forums are a way better source of information than me..... -------- https://www.nasa.gov/content/u....ltra-high-definition ---------- https://www.nasa.gov/multimedi....a/imagegallery/index - then there is like 100 images to a page and 300 pages... https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/page1 ---- https://www.flickr.com/photos/....nasahqphoto/53182562

@bigintol03: This is what I mean when you go from viewing the night sky in a really dark location and the air is clean... after a few days rain and there is no wind or moon... AND you go from looking at all the stars, to looking at the sky with even a basic telescope with lowish magnification of say 60X - the night sky is FULL of stars... Sort of like so. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ima....ge/1810/NGC1898_Hubb

@bigintol03: AND if you look at your freshly cleaned screen with a magnifying glass, some of the big close up images are stars, but most (???) of the smaller points are galaxies, and there is huge amounts of really tiny tiny specs, in amongst all the galaxies, that are also galaxies...... Space is just whoaaaa... HUGE.

I mean this is a brilliant photo - but you need really great and specialist gear to make these level of imagery, but when you zoom in, the image starts to get a little mottled...

@bigintol03: Well I would like a decent telescope - back seat of the car, etc.. but I need the money for other things, and I want to build a really big telescope.... like 1.2 meter mirror, and a proper astronomy building... but for the time being, there is TONS of brilliant images on the web.... But a decent telescope enough to see the surface of Mars would be nice, as well as spotting other celestial objects, while under a blanket with a cup of tea and a chess set - might be quite nice.

@bigintol03: There is also the thing with space gear and space issues - there is an awful lot going on... Like HEAPS of sciency stuff and the pretty pictures... AND for amateur astronomers, these guys gear is kind of hitting the limits as far as precision, viewing capabilities and portability... Much beyond this you need a few guys and then a forklift and then a crane and a truck.... It all gets very complex, costly and amazingly amazing...

@bigintol03: And after this, they get big concrete slabs, and teams of scientists and computer technicians and $10,000 and hour to run it, and they start selling useage time...

@bigintol03: Did you watch the 8 videos on the size of the observed universe? The Khan Academy Set? Well all these galactic things are HUGE and they are such incredible distances away - even the close up ones... and the here they are capturing sprinkles of photons to make images from... It's incredible..... Here is a good thing to look at... https://archive.org/details/sp....itzerspacetelescopec

@bigintol03: I mean I would like to have a LOT of money and I would like to have LOTS of telescopes - on earth and up in space.... but it's already there... and a really good, better than the absolute basic, second hand from some astronomy club member, would be perfectly fine... I mean I would like to have a good look at Mars, and the moon and a few of the closer planets... BUT it all starts to go way up in size, weight, precision, heavy mounts, incredible optics.... AND I don't have the time for all that... BUT the online stuff is using the very best equipment, made by the smartest and most capable people with the best designers, the best equipment and they are not only making telescopes that run in space, they are also making adaptive optics, that counter atmospheric turbulence, and using imaging techniques, with absolutely giant earth based telescopes, that make them in some ways, better than some of the space based telescopes... There are extraordinarily clever people doing a LOT of work on all of these things... https://archive.org/details/nasa
