Someone tipped a proof loonie!
Aggravating part is I’m decently sure it’s gold plated and it is out of its case, it’s marked and scratched. It’s possibly 99% silver? Which would make it even worse

How do I make this image better?
I want to bring out more details and stars but I can’t seem to get better than this

Should I clean it?
There’s a lot of dust, but I am terrified of cleaning it. Especially after seeing this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/telescopes/s/eM2HeVnmqe

Daytime 22°!
Due to time of day a circumzenithal arc was also visible with the eye, it is the largest I have seen. It went about 180° around a circle, but I couldn’t take a picture as my camera could not pick it up

What reaction is this in my chocolate?
Chocolate turns light and radiates from a single point in a ring shape before turning back to dark and the reaction restarts. This showed up after the chocolate has been exposed to air, I’ve seen it on other chocolates too. It was melted previously, but some of the other chocolates I’ve seen were not melted, not recently when the spots formed.

Why does absolutely no one know how to focus?
I see posts every day asking why they can’t see through there telescope and an unfocused blob. Like literally the first thing you should take note of is the focusing wheel.

Why is vanilla typically thought of as “plain” despite being a flavour?
Vanilla is a generic flavour, not plain. If you were to have plan ice cream, it would literally just taste like milk.

M5 > M13
Call me crazy, but I would vote M5 over M13

DIY dobsonian phone holder
I got tired of balancing my phone (using skysafari, my starchart) on my leg or placing it on the ground while trying to find objects so I made this out of cardboard and tape. I should be ab to have a 3D printed one soon. But, this will do for now! Much better than balancing it on my lap. It has 4 levels of incline. You can’t see it in the image here, but the supporting branch has a stopper so it does not go through the hole.

AstroShader help - not stacking
I’ve tried different amounts of exposures, lengths, and ISO and nothing makes the images stack. The preview looks good, but the final image is not ever stacked. What is going on?! If you have any experience with this app please help me. Ive tried for hours to get a working image.
Thanks

Call be crazy, but I’d argue M5 > M13…

Games with good story
Just finished RDR2 and am still astonished by the story. What should I play now? I am just looking for games with good story

John doesn’t know how to place shingles
You start at the bottom and go towards the top. You don’t start in the middle because then they don’t layer properly. This would make a leaky roof

Could you make a rig with a solar filter to block out the sun and see the corona without an eclipse? I have a Dobson an a large solar filter. If you align a blocker correctly could you see the corona?

Logically, the sun orbits the earth due to the larger mass. But why can we not argue that the sun orbits the earth from our reference point? Since when you are orbiting you are moving at a constant velocity and thus not accelerating in your relative coordinate system.

If someone was to say, insist object cannot be more than 7,000 years old and thus no more than 7,000 light years away, is there a way to do the math from your backyard to prove the objects are as far away as we are told? I also think this would be a really neat experiment to try.
EDIT: To be clear, I am more interested in the science of this question and being able to prove the distances myself than debating the earths actual age. I’m just really curious if I can determine object distances from my backyard.
