I'm not looking to find anything, but it's just a question I've never had answered? Is it really all word of mouth or is there a criminal version of Google on the dark web?

I was just outside with my telescope (114/450) on my explore scientific iexos 2 mount

My apartment building blocks Polaris so I have to use the all sky polar alignment mode

I set the telescope to the meridian, let it do its 3 images and it gives me a number to move my telescope

I do so, and refresh it, it takes a new number and I move the telescope again....and again....and again... Each time I get close to good alignment, it gets inexplicably further away suddenly

So I run an experiment and refresh it without touching anything and wouldn't you know it it was drifting further and further out by 10' every few seconds!

Also moving the mount left and right was moving it up and down too, and visa versa

I cannot polar align that

I am close to just throwing everything away if I can't get it working

Yes it's in focus

No there weren't any clouds

The seeing was average

No I can't use Polaris

My telescope is only 10lbs and I'm under the mounts weight capacity

I have a guide scope with asiair 120mm

My camera is a rebel t7 canon dslr

So I just got handed an opportunity from my boss, I need to make 10 parts with nylon carbon fiber, thing is I've never used it

I'm willing to try at least before we decide to subcontract the job

If I can do it, I get $2800

In theory I have all the equipment id need

Corexy Printer with heated chamber

Hardened steel nozzles

Dry box with dissicant

Textured pei bed and glue sticks

Anyway any advice would be extremely appreciated

i see a bunch of people riding around on ebikes in the area, and ive been wanting to get one for my girlfriend who doesnt have a drivers license

im just wondering if there were any specific models people prefer and can recommend

All the raw data should theoretically be available free online somewhere right? So would it be possible to get say a copy of the raw files and process them myself? Would the file sizes be just too large or the file format something that free stacking software like Siril/DSS can't readily use?

I just think it would be a fun project to try at some point while I'm waiting for clear skies, but I don't even know how I'd even go about researching it

I'm doing a reread, listening to the audiobooks of the early series for the first time and I can't help but laugh at how inconsistent the pronunciation is

I'm still 40% into uncrowned, so please keep spoilers from the end of the book out of here

First let me say I Am really enjoying the series, and it's a testament to its quality that I want more from this world

That being said, I do wish the books took more time to explore the world outside the lens of sacred arts

Let me ask you some questions that the story doesn't answer

How do the people of this world prepare food? Do skysworn and the akura territory make it differently? What's the fashion difference between the blackflame empire and the other powers , are there other languages humans speak? How do the regular craftsmen and merchants live? What about people with no interest in the sacred arts, how does their lives differ? How much money is a scale? Is there mechanized industry yet or is it still all craftsman?

I have so many other questions that the series just ignores

Even these grand locations they briefly describe as they literally fly over them

There is this whole wide world out there, but it feels empty and desolate and flat because the story doesn't convey the feeling of a living world, just an interchangeable backdrop for sacred arts

Again, this isn't me saying the series is bad,I wouldn't have stuck with it for 6 books if I didn't like it, but I just want so much more from this world

If there was just more chapters of Lindon exploring these cities and interacting with other people, seeing how people interact,

ive unfortunately let myself skip campaign 4 entirely, and at this point the time requirement to catch up is too much

campaign 3 had the abridged version. im hoping c4 will eventually get the same treatment

ive been poor at keeping up with news too, so i dont know if anything has been said about a c4 abridged version

You are allowed to bring a 2 terabyte hard drive and computer with you to use as you see fit (bring information back in time or bring information back from the future) and a single standard sized backpack to bring back items, only items that can fit in that backpack with return with you. You cannot leave any physical object you brought through the time machine in the past or future.

You only have 48 hours to exist in whatever time period you choose before you are pulled back to the present

The time travel will prevent any paradoxes that would prevent your own birth and eventual travel back in time, however specifics about your life may change, including up to your appearance and personality

Most of the time my brain basically makes up its own descriptions for characters as I read, even contradicting the official description

So I would like to recalibrate my internal vision of this world

Fan art or official art is fine, I just don't want any spoilers

So despite soulsmiths weak showing, blackflame made me want to continue on to skysworn

Still I have some hopes for this book, one is that I want Lindon to become more of an active driver in his fate, he is just so passive, always following other's instructions instead of making choices for himself. He really needs to find a mission for himself that lets him decide where he goes and what he does, hopefully before he hits underlord

Second, Lindon needs to be more competent in battle, how many times did yeren save his ass in the last book? Yeah he doesn't have the actual experience yet, but again to my point above, he needs a solo mission to gain that experience

Also I ship yeren and Lindon, I really hope they don't force a love triangle with Lindon 's wife from the original timeline, they can be just friends.

For series hopes

I want a multiversal road trip for Lindon, the way seems interesting, I want to know how it works.

maybe Lindon takes azriel's job, that would be an interesting end game

But I still have questions and comments

I'm still not exactly sure what the cost/benefit of having 2 cores gets Lindon, It seems the benefit is he can have 2 perk trees instead of just one, at the cost of each core being weaker and needing twice the effort to level both up but I'm not entirely clear on that

I'm not the biggest fan of being able to simply buy elixirs to advance, seems like it wasn't earned, plus it just makes a world where the wealthy can literally buy power without putting in effort, good metaphor, bad for character growth. The elixirs linon is getting he should have put some effort into earning, like going on a quest for ingredients or something where he has to grow as an individual to earn the power up

The sacred valley being cursed is an interesting detail, I wonder if that has to do why everyone there is so weak compared to the rest of the world, my current theory is that the sacred valley was holding back the four beasts, and the effect is weakening because no one remembers that's why theyre there, and that's why the valley is going to get squashed in a few decades, like a seal tied to one bloodline for 1000 years being broken because no one remembers how to maintain it

These clans and characters, I'm going to need a cheat sheet soon to keep track of who belongs to what clan and their relationships to other clans, it's getting hard to keep track of in my head as I listen to the audiobook
