<UmbralRaptor> Is diodebot plotting something? https://twitter.com/diodebot/status/946869284562702336

<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: eek (at the phase/ground color reuse)
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: old installations are fun :D
<UmbralRaptor> Copepods: definitely not cats.
<kmath> <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> Somewhat, not sure how much.
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: haha long boy (probably too big for the mount, independently from pricing concerns) https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p6628_Orion-UK-300-mm-f-12-Planeten-Cassegrain---Abschattung-nur-75-mm.html
<egg|anbo|egg> 3600 mm focal :-p

<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40-foot_telescope [40-foot telescope - Wikipedia] (754000 results found, took 0.54s)
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: I'm you but longer?
<UmbralRaptor> Something like that.
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: 203 mm aperture, 85 mm
<egg|anbo|egg> obstruction D:
<egg|anbo|egg> (for the Ritchey-Chrétiens)
<UmbralRaptor> ;c (85/203)^2
<kmath> UmbralRaptor: 0.1753257783493897
<UmbralRaptor> <20% is good, right?
<UmbralRaptor> Also, 203 mm? Is it made in the US?
<egg|anbo|egg> well relative obstruction of 0.42 (by this definition) has the effects graphed here http://www.telescope-optics.net/obstruction.htm
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: yeah seems the RCs have those weird apertures
<UmbralRaptor> Iskierka: ferram4_ sector parasites?
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: the vixen Field-Макs and very weird cats are 200 mm or things like that
<UmbralRaptor> hrm
<egg|anbo|egg> huh Explore Scientific makes Максутов-Newtons
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: how much do dew plates dew up (and how much does a scope with a spider solve the problem)
<UmbralRaptor> I'm afraid I don't know.

<UmbralRaptor> There are dew shields and heaters, though.
e_14159 has joined #kspacademia
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: the heaters are there to attract cats right,
<UmbralRaptor> Hah.
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: as for the 203 mm, the RCs seem to be manufactured in taiwan (but evidently to byzantine apertures)
<UmbralRaptor> hrm

<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
