<Ellied> 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

<Ellied> 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

<egg|zzz|egg> 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
<egg|zzz|egg> !acr -add:COS Cosmic Origins Spectrograph
<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

<egg|zzz|egg> NomalRaptor: I guess if the image were blue+red it would look uncanny
<egg|zzz|egg> NomalRaptor: I think it might be a good idea to pick something high-contrast on a keyboard, so the monochromatic spitzer in red might be a good choice https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Andromeda_galaxy_Ssc2005-20a1.jpg

* egg|zzz|egg thinks the first one might be more readable
<NomalRaptor> 2nd seems easier?
<egg|zzz|egg> NomalRaptor: hmmm
<egg|zzz|egg> NomalRaptor: I think it lacks a bit of context though, hard to tell whether it's a galaxy or a forest fire >_>
<NomalRaptor> Galaxy, sky full of nuclear fire, close enough.
<egg|zzz|egg> NomalRaptor: also spitzer's image is a tad grainy, so making the galaxy smaller is probably better

<egg|zzz|egg> StochasticRaptor: also its name requires you to pronounce the nasal vowel [ɔ̃], which might be a tall order for an english speaker
<egg|zzz|egg> (related: everyone at the office botches my name)
<egg|zzz|egg> (I should tell them to just call me egg)
<StochasticRaptor> er, which name is giving them trouble?
<soundnfury> egg|zzz|egg: when you need to refer to yourself in the first person, do you say Ei?
<egg|zzz|egg> StochasticRaptor: Robin (people tend to call each other by first name)
<egg|zzz|egg> I guess they'd be mildly confused by Leroy, but at least it's all sounds that eggsist in english)
