Alt: Not a jot.
Altalt: A new phone, although technically that was free, along with my free texts and calls.
Altaltalt: Yes and I love a nice big moon.
Ok.

It's a modified webcam with an adapter to replace the eyepiece. You take a video sequence and software tracks and 'stacks' the frames to produce one image, you can set it to disguard frames of lesser quality etc.
I've only messed about with it really, but some people have achieved really wicked pictures.

You can get screw-on adaptors to get an SLR on the end of your telescope.
The scope then acts like a fucking huge camera lens. I've seen some pretty cool images from that set up.

alt: it depends. if i haven't eaten mine yet, the ideas can be useful. but some people eat fucking revolting things.
altalt: probably the iphone 5.
altaltalt: no. the kennedy space centre remains a lowlight in my memory bank of holiday days out. my parents bloody loved it. stupid spacerace generation. only 2 things made it worthwhile: a large black lady sat next to a robot spaceman for a photograph, and he suddenly gave her a hug. it was an actor! in a suit! her shriek made the previous 3 hours of dullness worthwhile. secondly, we were there about 3 weeks before a space mission, so got to see the rocket. when we got our photographs back, you didn't see the huge rocket, so much as the dude standing at the front... shamelessly groping his wife's arse. they were about 50. meh.

I run a 19m RP SMA cable along the edge of my shed over the garden and attached to the house just above a window.
This allows me to get wireless in the shed but also completely defeats the object of wireless. Another 2m and I could use CAT6 straight into the router but that would require drilling a hole in the house.

I'd just drill the hole.
Unless you can route the cable around to where the dish feeds enter the house. You might be able to sneak it through there.

Got to go and see mate's new baby at some point. DIY of new woodshed extension + POWER TOOL SAWS. Some running either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Alt:
Yeah, I care. I need to look after you people
AltAlt:
I think you've just sold Chromecast for me. I've got a TV in the bedroom without an aerial. I use iPlayer via a laptop at the moment but fuck that!

Yeah, I love all that shit. You get some fucking amazing views of the stars when you walk along the promenade at night as it shields you from the streetlights

my brother and i couldn't be more different
i love english, creative writing, reading. he only reads sports biographies and thinks fiction is pointless. i can barely count, he is a maths genius. etc. anyway, he did physics at university, and did his thesis on some parts of astronomy. when i asked what, he said:
PLANETS. BIG MEAN GASSY ONES.
i think he thought i needed very short words to explain it.

followed by a birthday party in Kegworth on Sunday. I'm getting a bit sick of busy weekends now, I don't think I've got a nice quiet 'fuck all' weekend until September.

Altaltalt: Yeah, I love adding to the things that make me feel insignificant.
