<egg|anbo|egg> using the scope remotely from upstairs is nice
<egg|anbo|egg> (sadly I only control the sensor, not the mount)
<egg|anbo|egg> I should wire up the mount and set things up so I can control the scope with the HOTAS
<raptop> RANBOT: Robotic ANBO Telescope
<raptop> wait, what would the throttle do?
<egg|anbo|egg> raptop: gain? exposure? focuser? so many options
<raptop> Hrm, guess you need to map some of those to hat switches
<egg|anbo|egg> well I have a dual throttle with an additional analog wheel
<egg|anbo|egg> and also rudder pedals with toe brakes
* raptop assumes that this means that either egg or phl plays a lot of dcs or something
<egg|anbo|egg> amusingly I got this setup before I knew about DCS
<raptop> hah
<egg|anbo|egg> I think I was just being annoyed at the lack of HOTAS to fly my usual Mach 5 KSP-RO airliners
* raptop 's next guess was going to be cessnas in the new MS flight sim
<egg|anbo|egg> I did use it for that a bit
* raptop wants to say that WeylandsWings does that

<mofh> raptop: iximeow: what's the ideal light-to-dark ratio? n:n? n:sqrt(n)? n:log(n)?
<raptop> The normal assumptions are that you want enough darks to even out the random errors between them, and they will be relevant to all lights on a given night
<raptop> n:n works well enough for flats
<raptop> uh, flats:darks
<raptop> As for how many darks: IIRC, GMUO defaults to 10
<iximeow> raptop: i'm surprised that darks are considered variable on a night-to-night basis?
<raptop> uh, as in n lights, 10 darks at light eggspoure time, 10 flats, 10 darks at flat eggsposure time
<raptop> But also there's detrending stuff we can do in the lights since we're looking for changes in brightness in one star while n stars around it are constant
<iximeow> 10 darks every night, though?
<iximeow> or well, 2x10 darks,
* raptop would have taken 2880 10 s lights last night if we hadn't cancelled due to weather >_>
<egg|anbo|egg> raptop: but wouldn’t you be massively amplifying the read noise with only 10 darks ?
<raptop> Our lights wouldn't be that heavily coadded, though. (timeseries fun)
<raptop> hrm
<raptop> I mean, I guess you can also do some biases to characterize the read noise and subtract that seperately from the darks
* raptop eyes stochastic errors uneasily
* iximeow hugs "median()"
<iximeow> ah it is sunset time where the sun reflects off a window and into my window
<iximeow> sun gone

<galois> MICA: Missile d’Interception, de Combat et d'Auto-défense
<egg|anbo|egg> MAGIC?
<galois> MAGIC: Missile Auto-Guidé Interception et Combat
<raptop> Does the magic know where it is?
<WeylandsWings> raptop: only because it knows where it isnt

<egg|anbo|egg> looks like binning makes it happy

<iximeow> i really like M3 and M13, the color variance among the stars is really wonderful

<egg|anbo|egg_> iximeow: May 2019 picture of the same https://photos.app.goo.gl/g8SR7ubTDJad77Jd6, slightly longer total eggsposure but in 10 s slices; the shorter eggsposures seem to have helped with the star size
