现在还有人看不起玩智能天文望远镜的

这种纯纯生活没啥存在感全来网上找优越感来了

what am I doing wrong with alignment?

Using the iOptron Cube Pro and trying to get it aligned with the moon. But when I select the target my mount rotates directly north. In the photo, the bright spot is the moon and you can see which way the scope is pointing after I select moon to target. All my coordinates are correct.

thinking about getting the ASIAIR Mini for camera?

I have an iOptron Cube Pro that does all the tracking, so would the ASIAIR be worth getting? I'm intrigued with the idea of less cables, and being able to use my tablet wirelessly just for the camera control and not the mount control, since that be redundant. Does anyone have something similar and what are your thoughts on it?

why are distances so large in the universe?

why are distances so large in the universe that it makes communication impossible ? (+why is lightspeed so slow)

The solar eclipse from Artemis II

The cosmonauts observed the dark side of the moon and cameras seemed to record at least 3 flashes of meteor impacts ! Dangerous place with many impacts probabilities.The eclipse looked like the beginning of our usual eclipse but after the moon is much larger in front of the sun.

一种廉价的观星方案

之前准备了一架EQ3D赤道仪打算在红外波段硬扛闹市区光害看星空,但发现我经常居住的学员公寓型建筑没有阳台无法使用,把总重逼近20公斤的传统望远镜放到窗台或空调外机上显然不现实,只能转移我闹市区的婚房的阳台视野不到120度,切有跨运营商的延迟。春节前振旺首发的轻量级设备S30pro被我带来了曙光,我用监控支架将它固定在孩子房间的窗台上,可以实现30秒稳定的曝光,依托拍摄计划功能一晚上实现了梅西椰天体10连斩。

随想随写喽

想到旅行者号携带的金色唱片,这个唱片直接向宇宙中发出地球的坐标,就好像在黑暗森林里大喊一声“我在这”,1977年,金色唱片被发往宇宙,那时候我的姥姥姥估计正在田里耕地,他们不知道什么是金色唱片,什么是宇宙,他们也不知道从那一刻起,或许他们后代的命运就此改变,也许在地球覆灭的时候,金色唱片还未被地外文明发现,也许就在下一刻。从这看来,普通人的命运或许从来都不掌握在自己手里

什么时候才能实现一个人

什么时候才能实现一个人,一台设备,一座房子。在那无尽的夜里探索星空。对于普通人来说,那是遥不可及的,都忙着学业,忙着事业,忙着大大小小的事。谁不想摆脱世俗凡尘,脱离那喧嚣人群。只想一个人修行一人探索,可现实是残酷,命运是注定,多积福报吧,福生无量

写一下碎碎念喽

我不知道我是不是真的喜欢看星星,不过我肯定的是我小时候肯定喜欢,我小时候经常抬头看星空,这其中其实很大一部分是因为一些动漫影响的,那会很想买一台天文望远镜,但是当时在河北的普通的小镇上生活,淘宝也不算很普及,我家长肯定也不答应给我买,他们只会感觉那是一台昂贵的的大玩具,我肯定玩几天就不玩了(今年还是很感谢老妈给我买的S30🥹)。 再后来初中高中,我慢慢的忘记了我曾经喜欢的星空,就好像奥雷里亚诺上校一样,战争让他忘记了自己当初是为家园而战,山河四省的考试也慢慢让我眼中的星光黯淡,以至于我现在怀疑我真的喜欢星空吗,我明明看到星空看到星云还是会兴奋,看见有关宇宙的科普知识还是会驻足,但是我心中一直有一层朦胧的雾,把我真正的喜欢与星空隔开,抑或者是我真的有很热爱做的事情吗,所以我每次看到他们有自己很喜欢的事情都会很羡慕。 最近我得到结论,我现在喜欢星空,40%是因为我真的喜欢,70%是因为我太想完成十几年前那个小女孩的梦想了。

古人观星会是什么样子

怪不得古代的能写出关于星空很美的句子,那会中国应该全部都是现在的“国际暗夜区”标准,李白肯定是经常看见银河,才能写出疑是银河落九天,屈原肯定是经常看见天狼星才能写举长矢兮射天狼,现在抬头看星空有时候猎户座都看不清楚。不过和古人看的是同一片天空也是很奇妙的一件事。

Beneath the Infinite: March S.W.A.G. Challenge

This month we're turning our lenses toward the horizon — and thinking bigger than ever before.The March S.W.A.G. challenge is all about nightscapes — capturing the beauty, mood, and character of our planet with the cosmos as your backdrop. This is where Earth meets eternity. Where dirt roads and desert mesas sit beneath ancient starlight. Where a quiet field, a weathered barn, or a city skyline becomes part of something infinite.We want images that connect ground to sky — that remind us we are standing on something solid while surrounded by something endless.Your image can be anything:A moonlit field glowing under a silver-washed skyA sweeping Milky Way arching over a lonely highwayA blue hour blend featuring your favorite constellation rising for the seasonA star trail spiral turning above an old barn or windmillA timelapse of the heavens in motion, showing the Earth's silent spinIt can be dramatic. It can be subtle. It can be peaceful, wild, cinematic, minimal, or bold. What matters is that it tells a story.Whether you're shooting with:DSLR or mirrorlessSeestar S30 ProCell phoneStar trackerOr static on a tripod…it doesn't matter. The gear isn't the challenge — your creativity is.Push yourself. Think outside the box. Frame the familiar in an unfamiliar way. Use foreground elements to anchor the sky. Play with silhouettes and shadows. Experiment with long exposures. Blend blue hour with night. Capture motion — clouds drifting, stars trailing, the Milky Way rising. Create depth. Create mood. Create wonder.This is your chance to show us how you see the night — not just the stars above, but the world beneath them.Remind us that we live on a small, beautiful planet spinning quietly under an infinite sky.Get out there. Look up. Slow down. Create something that makes us feel small in the best possible way.We can't wait to see what you come up with.And as always friends, Per Aspera, Ad Astra!
