AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on sharing experiences in astrophotography using affordable equipment. The original poster invites feedback on their initial work, showcasing sunspot and planetary images linked on their page. Participants express interest in the techniques used, particularly the effectiveness of holding a digital camera to an eyepiece. There is a suggestion to enhance image quality through stacking multiple images with software like RegiStax, although some users have yet to try this method. Overall, the thread highlights the accessibility of astrophotography for beginners and the potential for improvement through software techniques.

I would like ur opinion on some of my first serious astro-imaging work. And I didn't use very expensive equipment. (Equipment used is on my page)

Hey,
Looks good. I've just started astrophotography. My method involves holding a digital camera up to the eyepiece (with a special mount). It's been pretty effective so far. But yeah, good job.
Ever consider stacking multiple images using software (such as RegiStax) to bring out more detail?
 
yea...i haven't got around to doing that ;)
 
lol, yeah, me neither.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
