<iximeow> well that wasn't the most fun i've ever had
<iximeow> but i think its much cleaner now
<raptop> yay?

<iximeow> i found out in the process that the corrector has been !removed! before and there are !circular! smudges on the inside
<SnoopJ> 😨
<iximeow> i am not dealing with that and it's probably not much of an issue but :( :( :(
<iximeow> off to find out if its actually better
<WeylandsWings> iximeow: yeah because if you take of the corrector you need to re collimate it
<WeylandsWings> which, ugh no thank you
<raptop> aaaa
<raptop> ...okay, how much phosphine is there? https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.07817

<raptop_> I mean, I guess that's a risk given the name collisions. But, it's not like searching inside of SIMBAD will give Elite: Dangerous results

<iximeow> today i get to investigate an unexpected problem
<iximeow> why did a picture two weeks ago with the same gain/offset/exposure come out significantly differently than a picture from today with the same gain/offset/exposure
<whitequark> didnt' you clean the scope
<raptop_> Different seeing and/or transparency?
<raptop_> Shooting at wavelengths where airmass matters a lot
<raptop_> SCP-1960-J got in the way?
<iximeow> whitequark: that was in response to this quandry, and i've now ruled out "schmoo on the corrector plate" as a source of problem
<iximeow> raptop_: how sensitive is 656.28nm? either way, i'm more suspicious of my software than physics, here
<whitequark> ohh
<raptop_> iximeow: hrm, that shouldn't be sensitive to much
<iximeow> raptop_: any idea what the pattern above the star might be post-spike in https://www.iximeow.net/public_files/misc/44_ori_red.gif ?
<iximeow> (the star is moving w.r.t the sensor so barring a simple external explanation i'm going to assume it's error introduced by my wildly improper imaging train)
<raptop_> The spike is extremely conufsing given that you don't have a spider
<raptop_> I mean, there could be something with alignment
<iximeow> oh the spike is fine
<iximeow> that's a power line
<iximeow> which is why its transient
