00:01 <WeylandsWings> egg|laptop|egg: that sounds too much like knowing where you are by knowing where you are not and by taking the difference arriveing at where you want to be

00:39 <raptop> (health scare with a family member, few details known at the moment)

00:39 <SnoopJ> 😬

00:42 <raptop> yeah, that's about the mood

01:18 <raptop> okay, family member is *probably* better

01:24 <iximeow> whitequark: i already have the cursed usb thing. unfortunately it appears to do something so horribly that a vendor's sdk fails to download images from a usb 3.0 camera on the other end. it works fine for the *other* usb 3.0 camera. i have no idea what they did differently between the two. either way it introduces a twelve+ second download time in addition to what should be two seconds, and the

01:24 <iximeow> previous owner did not ... notice

01:24 <iximeow> this wouldn't matter for primary imaging, but it means the guide camera guided with twelve second old data

01:25 <iximeow> when you guide once every two seconds..... this is suboptimal

01:31 <whitequark> oh

02:06 <SnoopJ> it's cloudy here 😭

02:32 <raptop> It was mostly cloudy here, and I took a gap in the clouds while out walking

10:12 <egg|laptop|egg> iximeow: try getting a second observation and then you will have discovered it I guess https://twitter.com/iximeow/status/1340956248229855232

10:13 <iximeow> i'm mostly confused because v'yus seems almost right if it weren't off by a half degree

10:13 <iximeow> nasa's orbit is determined from a month-old observation though so maybe?

10:14 <iximeow> !8 did the asteroid grow legs

10:14 <galois> iximeow: yes

10:16 <UmbralRaptop> !8 Did the asteroid grow a tail?

10:16 <galois> UmbralRaptop: yes

10:16 <UmbralRaptop> Something something comets are like cats

10:18 <iximeow> well. either way i have ~30 additional minutes of ufo footage

10:19 <UmbralRaptop> heh

15:41 <WeylandsWings> https://twitter.com/iximeow/status/1340956248229855232 could it be a sat that is chromatically smeraed because long exposure and filters?

15:52 <WeylandsWings> given your exposure times for getting nebulosity i would assume it would have to be High alt sat (geo or the like) or it is an asteroid

15:54 <WeylandsWings> if you have good times for filter changes you could probably get a fald decent search set of RA/Decs

15:54 <galois> WeylandsWings meant to say: if you have good times for filter changes you could probably get a half decent search set of RA/Decs

17:58 <raptop> hm, the observatory is going to do a viewing of the conjuction through our telescope tonight

18:14 <raptop> !8 Post the zoom link?

18:14 <galois> raptop: no

18:15 <raptop> bah, it's open to the public. (starting at 5 pm EST, we'll see if this summons clouds) https://gmu.zoom.us/j/91525954268
