AI Thread Summary
A user seeks advice on capturing images of the moon through a Galilean telescope with a 10x eyepiece and 100cm focal length. They report difficulty obtaining clear photos with their digital camera. Suggestions include exploring afocal imaging techniques and adjusting the camera's autofocus settings to manual mode to achieve better focus. Participants in the discussion recommend reviewing a related thread for additional insights. The conversation emphasizes the importance of proper camera settings for successful astrophotography.

I have an Galilean telescope with me...with 1Ox EYEPIECE and 100cm Focal lengthlens at the other end...
I can see the craters of the moon properly with it,
i require to take a snap of it using my digital camera...
but not able to get a proper image in camera.
What can i do? any Idea?

What you are trying to do is called afocal imaging. The problem you may be having is the autofocus on your camera might not believe that it needs to focus to infinity. Try setting it manually if you can.

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?'

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 'Could fast radio bursts be alien radar signals?'

Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
