I want OPA380s, but they cost over five dollars each and only come in SOIC :(
<Ellied>
The latter is only a problem because i'll have a harder time convincing my prof that they'll be useful to other people later on; I prefer SOIC to DIP

I didn't want to leave the GDT running all night, but I wanted to be able to start a scan and go home, so I built a little switching box that lets the Pi managing the data collection turn it on and off as needed

ACS?
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: [ACS] => Attitude Control System
<egg|zzz|egg>
aaaargh but Advanced Camera for Surveys too...
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -update:ACS Attitude Control System | Advanced Camera for Surveys
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I updated the explanation for ACS
<egg|zzz|egg>
UVIS?
<egg|zzz|egg>
WFC3?
<egg|zzz|egg>
WFC?
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -add:WFC3 Wide Field Camera 3
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
MAST?
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: [MAST] => Mikulski Archive at Space Telescope
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -add:STIS Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -add:NICMOS Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -add:FGS Fine Guidance Sensor
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
WFPC2?
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: [WFPC2] => Wide Field Planetary Camera 2
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -add:FOC Faint Object Camera
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: what does UVIS stand for in the context of WFC3
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: hmm, there's some wavelength overlap between GALEX and WFC3/UVIS (used in PHAT) apparently
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: obviously no overlap with SST
<egg|zzz|egg>
SST?
<egg|zzz|egg>
SIRTF?
<egg|zzz|egg>
HST?
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: [HST] => Hubble Space Telescope
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -add:SST Spitzer Space Telescope
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
!acr -add:SIRTF Space Infrared Telescope Facility
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: ah so PHAT has 6 filters (2 WFC3/UVIS, 2 ACS, 2 WFC3/IR), but the typical PHAT image e.g. http://hubblesite.org/image/3476/news_release/2015-02 is just ACS F475W (blue) and F814W (yellow)
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: uuuuh why did they map F814W which goes from 7000 Å to slightly above 9500 Å to *yellow*
<egg|zzz|egg>
!u Å

whitequark: also <egg|clippy|egg> asking you if you meant to rejoin :-p
<whitequark>
lol
<egg|zzz|egg>
I saw an ASCII art clippy in a comment at the beginning of some file the other day
<egg|zzz|egg>
don't remember what it was about

StellarRaptor: Nomal was interested after learning about the future of animal diets; she was blissful after sleeping in a bedroom like a personal palace.
<StellarRaptor>
sleep! \o/
<egg|zzz|egg>
"I'm feeling optimistic about the future"
<egg|zzz|egg>
the rest of the thoughts & preference page is research-related anxieties
<egg|zzz|egg>
now she's cleaning the floor
<egg|zzz|egg>
StellarRaptor: I gave her a gold cabinet so she'd feel happy about her bedroom whenever she decided to go there
<egg|zzz|egg>
she's socializing in the tavern!
<egg|zzz|egg>
she is dejected after being kept away from alcohol for too long... she's in the tavern! why doesn't she just have a drink
<egg|zzz|egg>
StellarRaptor: a vile force of darkness has arrived!
