<UmbralRaptor> 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).

<UmbralRaptor> If I get the chance…
<UmbralRaptor> 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.

<egg|anbo|egg> 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
<egg|anbo|egg> cc bofh :-p

<APlayer> That should be used instead of parking tickets
<awang> Hmmm
<awang> Pop up a parabolic mirror instead of "EXPIRED" when time runs out

<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: going to try staring at the sky a bit
<bofh> egg|anbo|egg: excellent, how is visibility?
<UmbralRaptop> Mars?
<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: no clouds and colder weather today means reduced need for laser guide cows
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptop: jupiter right now
<egg|anbo|egg> also medicean moons and bands
<egg|anbo|egg> i should do the polar alignment
<bofh> ooh, nice, this ought to go well
pthag has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: UmbralRaptop: ISS
<egg|anbo|egg> shiny station friend,
<egg|anbo|egg> will try mars when the iss has set
<UmbralRaptop> Fake TIE fighter
<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,
* iximeow pokes bofh in the typo
<egg|anbo|egg> SAO?
<Qboid> egg|anbo|egg: [SAO] => Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory
<bofh> s/fat/fact/
<Qboid> bofh meant to say: egg|anbo|egg: yes, this is being typed up and looke over right now, in fact,
<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: UmbralRaptop: double cluster!
<egg|anbo|egg> !u 
<Qboid> U+007F ()
<Qboid> U+007F ()
<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: you seem to emit DELs
<UmbralRaptop> egg|anbo|egg: \o/ \o/
<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.
* UmbralRaptop pokes stellarium in the settings.
<egg|anbo|egg> pretty much
<egg|anbo|egg> !meow UmbralRaptop
