It's been raining all day, and has if anything gotten more intense.
* UmbralRaptor
is vaguely disturbed.
<bofh>
come to ANBO, that's ISO Standard Norman Weather (or rather it would be were it to not intensify).

Note to self: 2π/x ≠ 1/x ≠ x
<bofh>
I mean if we let 2π equal 1...
<UmbralRaptor>
and x = 1
<UmbralRaptor>
reasons that astropy is better than astroml: the documentation will make it clear if you need an angular frequency or not.

whitequark: i think have found stupider than your eleggtrical installation
<egg|anbo|egg>
whitequark: phase 1 = phase 2, for > 10 years (phase 2 fuse blown)
<egg|anbo|egg>
whitequark: phase 1 = phase 2 at a screw terminal; by the same people, a BN neutral, BU phase monophase wire, where they get their neutral by a BU = BN screw terminal
<kmath>
<xdroop> There’s a whole lot more outside out here than I realized https://t.co/DSIOmyt5Vx
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: mars: such atmosephere, very chromatic aberration, so shapeless, many orange, wow,
<UmbralRaptop>
I don't think the dust is from inu shibas.
<egg|anbo|egg>
also boat, do not look into random light directed towards shore with remaining dark-adapted eyes,
<bofh>
egg|anbo|egg: rofl yes the boats are charming like that
<bofh>
also I wonder if mini-knockoff-fake-TIE-fighter is visible (aka Tiangong 2)
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: i saw it once
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: i also wonder whether i could resolve ISS in the main scope, probably with the 31 mm eyepiece tracking with loose clutches
<egg|anbo|egg>
easy to track in the finder
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: yes the dust means it is featureless, but also the atmosphere means it's not really stably disk-shaped and is chromatically aberrant, and i don't think that's the fault of the dust
<bofh>
egg|anbo|egg: assuming you do not miss collimated, then yeah I think the 31mm should resolve features nicely.
<egg|anbo|egg>
;rpn 200 9 * 31 /
<kmath>
egg|anbo|egg: 58.064516129032258
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: ~60* ?
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: UmbralRaptop: great nebulosity in andromeda, but not much shape
<egg|anbo|egg>
but nebulous indeed
<egg|anbo|egg>
will try the lower magnification
* egg|anbo|egg
fetches the cow-sized eyepiece
<bofh>
okay that's better than the last attempt where it iirc wasn't visible at all really
<UmbralRaptop>
Hm.
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: well yes because then we had nebulosity with high proper motion,
<bofh>
I guess cooler means less chromatic aberration which means more nebulous structure
<bofh>
also right.
<bofh>
that is also true.
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: also we were on the wrong side so we didn't even try pointing opticks at it :-p
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: otoh we had a much better sky, here it's a bit humid and the quarter release is making things very bright
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: M32 too, but can't see M110
<UmbralRaptop>
Yay, and boo, respectively.
<bofh>
^
<egg|anbo|egg>
random sat just flew past but can't see it in stellarium
<egg|anbo|egg>
a birb made noises (fish-related? and flew into a tree)
<bofh>
(that being said, TIL M110 exists; I *really* need to memorize the entire Messier catalogue sometime)
<UmbralRaptop>
The catalog is silly in several places.
<bofh>
also I am on an Amsterdam-bound train from Frankfurt and it keeps going thru several RF-opaque tunnels >_<
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: ytibbats?
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: is m33 feasible if m110 isn't?
<bofh>
oh, no, being on it is intentional :P (the RF-opaque tunnels are in dire need of a colony of ytibbats, tho, they're making using the internet really annoying :P)
<UmbralRaptop>
egg|anbo|egg: unsure.
<UmbralRaptop>
M33 being high helps greatly.
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop:
<egg|anbo|egg>
um
* egg|anbo|egg
stares, sees altitude half that of M31, is confused at UmbralRaptop
<egg|anbo|egg>
(also lolnope at galaxy at 14 deg
<UmbralRaptop>
whelp
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: should i try the double cluster
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: double precision cluster,
<UmbralRaptop>
egg|anbo|egg: probably. Also α-Per association if available.
<UmbralRaptop>
In other parts of the sky, M13, M57, M92, M56,ε-Lyr?
<bofh>
at least routing on my phone for tethering/hotspot somehow , uh, fiexed itsself?
<UmbralRaptop>
IRC is tolerant of lag spikes.
<bofh>
I ran several iptables ommands to print out some table and one of them acidentally made it start routing pakets between interfaes again
<UmbralRaptop>
o_O
<bofh>
egg|anbo|egg: yes, this is being typed up and looke over right now, in fat,
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: the double cluster is nice, also 82 deg apparent fov is nice :-p
<egg|anbo|egg>
(both clusters fit into the field of view on an f/9 main scope :D)
<egg|anbo|egg>
(31 mm eyepiece)
<UmbralRaptop>
Nice
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: bofh: a satellite just flew through the field, maybe iridum 58
awang has quit [Ping timeout: 198 seconds]
<egg|anbo|egg>
otoh that iridium *should* have been just outside the field so not sure
* UmbralRaptop
blames refraction?
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: hm maybe, does stellarium correct for that
<UmbralRaptop>
No idea.
<bofh>
egg|anbo|egg: oops, that was not intentional, wtf.
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: bofh: also maybe a trace of M110
<egg|anbo|egg>
skycircle is no longer shining directly at me
<egg|anbo|egg>
otoh things might be getting a bit foggy?
<egg|anbo|egg>
not awful yet
* egg|anbo|egg
now wearing some sort of coat and gloves
<egg|anbo|egg>
typisnc nwith g/ves i hard
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptop: a/so with a 200 mm scope there are oddly more stars than i see in stellarkium, rather than the renverse, and that is confusing
<UmbralRaptop>
some sort makes it sound like you randomly generated the coat and gloves.
