<SpaceGeck> @thebiologistisn I wonder what animal eye has the longest focal length? I have heard birds have barrel shaped, tele… https://t.co/QbKbw3npJ8
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptor: long eyes tho
<UmbralRaptor>
In terms of f/ratio, anyway.
<egg|anbo|egg>
speaking of which I'm still wondering what kind of scope to get for ANBO
<Iskierka>
wouldn't it probably be like an elephant, or whatever has the biggest eye, for raw focal length?
<egg|anbo|egg>
iirc giant squids have large eyes
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptor: probably spider rather than plate because of the dew but that leaves plenty of weird cats and reflectors still...
<egg|anbo|egg>
probably not newton focus because of the equatorial mount, to avoid eyepieces at weird angles?
<UmbralRaptor>
Unless you're doing photography, I'm tempted to say a 20 cm dob.
<UmbralRaptor>
Oh, right. mount.
<UmbralRaptor>
This is starting to sound like an RCT?
<UmbralRaptor>
(blarg, spendy)
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptor: or a weird cat (tbh RCT could turn into a weird cat with a field flattener anyway :-p)
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptor: meh, RC is not too bad, now variations on Dall-Kirkham otoh
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptor: thing with RC is the central obstruction, I'm worried it might be bad for planetary work?
<UmbralRaptor>
So, I got rid of 2 columns in an array (originally 5), since I wasn't using one and could get rid of another. According to cProfile, this made my program a fraction of a percent slower. =S

Also got rid of some unused variables and tried moving some computation outside loops to no effect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
