Ugh, the thought of having to return back to the USA soon is just... some combination of "DO NOT WANT" and anxiety.

What is in that museum egg|anbo|egg bofh
<egg|anbo|egg>
B787_300: engines steam and petrol powered, telecomunication things, gears, bicycles, cars and aeroplanes of yore, measurement instruments...
<egg|anbo|egg>
B787_300: bofh can probably give you a detailed description
NomalRaptor is now known as UnqualifiedRaptor
<UnqualifiedRaptor>
Calling it right now: passed E&M (barely), failed QM and SM.
<B787_300>
UnqualifiedRaptor: hopefully you passed all of them
<UnqualifiedRaptor>
bofh: that's a very nice pigeon
<B787_300>
egg|anbo|egg: bofh do you know if the museum has free wifi...
<egg|anbo|egg>
!wpn UnqualifiedRaptor
* Qboid
gives UnqualifiedRaptor a Peregrine ruby which strongly resembles a repeater
<UnqualifiedRaptor>
!wpn B787_300 and egg|anbo|egg
* Qboid
gives B787_300 and egg|anbo|egg a bad state machine with a photon attachment
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: having hair in my face in front of a sodium lamp produces fun interference patterns
<bofh>
(also did I *really* not upload any photos of the damn PLANES there? Augh. >_<).
<bofh>
egg|anbo|egg: also THAT IT DOES. I love it. :D
<bofh>
B787_300: history of engineering in 1700s - now, primarily French engineering (i.e. they get into the Chappe telegraph system as an early actually-used means of wireless long-distance communications, for instance).

<egg|laptop|egg>
otoh going to stare at random bits of the sky through the eyepiece a bit

Hrm. power management seems wonky
<egg|laptop|egg>
seems to be in the general direction of the refineries

UmbralRaptop: bofh: today in eggstreme silliness at ANBO: cloudy sky so doing ground imaging, targets have large angular size so using the finder to image, and therefore using the main scope with a giant eyepiece as the viewfinder
<egg|laptop|egg>
trying to see if I can find sleeping cows

Infrared to find cows?
<egg|laptop|egg>
UmbralRaptop: hah
<egg|laptop|egg>
UmbralRaptop: I'm really impressed at how much can be seen in the dark with 200 mm + widefield eyepiece
<egg|laptop|egg>
or with long eggsposures
<egg|laptop|egg>
(long eggsposures in the 80 mm)
<egg|laptop|egg>
sodium lights are off so this should be less orange
<egg|laptop|egg>
still yellowish because a lot of the light is sodium reflected by the clouds, but some actual colour

bofh: UmbralRaptor: 10 min eggsposure
<UmbralRaptor>
Dutch angle church?
<egg|laptop|egg>
UmbralRaptor: the finder has a twist focuser, so getting a sane angle is a bit tricky
<UmbralRaptor>
Hm
<egg|laptop|egg>
UmbralRaptor: sadly SIPS doesn't fill in the EXIF data from the FITS headers when eggsporting
<UmbralRaptor>
hrm
<egg|laptop|egg>
but that's 10 min, 80 mm aperture, 330 mm focal length
<egg|laptop|egg>
I think it's highest gain?
<egg|laptop|egg>
it's quite dark, so I don't saturate even when counting the eggstreme long tail
