egg|laptop|egg: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as long as the FoV is evenly illuminated
<egg|laptop|egg>
the FoV is smol so as long as there are clouds or horizon that part should be fine
<egg|laptop|egg>
UmbralRaptop: also how many flats
<UmbralRaptop>
at least 1 per exposure time used?
* UmbralRaptop
doesn't recall >_<
<UmbralRaptop>
It must have gotten crunched inside a schwarzschild solution
* egg|laptop|egg
stares at the flat
<egg|laptop|egg>
... are those stars
<egg|laptop|egg>
maybe i should use the water instead
<egg|laptop|egg>
there are no stars in the water, right
<UmbralRaptop>
Depends on how smooth the water is
<UmbralRaptop>
Alternatively, wait 2-3 hours and take predawn flats?
<egg|laptop|egg>
uh oh a boat is coming
<egg|laptop|egg>
is it ok if there is a boat on the flat,
<iximeow>
a boat is not stars so: yes
<egg|laptop|egg>
perfect,
<egg|laptop|egg>
yup boat
<egg|laptop|egg>
with lights
<egg|laptop|egg>
that flat is going to be bright
<iximeow>
oh no, stars are lights too
<egg|laptop|egg>
also the water is clearly foggy
<egg|laptop|egg>
good for flats
<egg|laptop|egg>
less good for further observation,
<egg|laptop|egg>
wtf this flat looks decent even though a boat went through it?!
<UmbralRaptop>
Is the boat evenly illuminated?
<UmbralRaptop>
egodic flat?
<egg|laptop|egg>
okay the next one is more like i eggspected

!8 is tensor math fake?
<galois>
UmbralRaptop: no
<UmbralRaptop>
;8ball is tensor math fake?
<kmath>
UmbralRaptop: Nope
<UmbralRaptop>
…
<egg|laptop|egg>
okay i'll take the darks in bed

I like to refer to them as less-cursèd and more-cursèd STEP, respectively :p
