To: Fuzhou Hundreds Optics Inc 100Optics.com, Some very low light and NIR sensors might be able to pick up LWIR, out to thermal wavelengths 5-15 microns — if they used ZnSe lenses or GaAs. You could check pretty easily. I think the Sony Starvis might work but would need to use statistical methods and high

I came across a ZWO ASI715MC recently and bought one to check out. But they are NOT into machine vision or security, since their chosen market is astronomers. Over the years I see Sony doing innovative things, but finding a stable development environment is difficult. Perhaps working directly with Sony would be more productive, fundamental

Aakash Gupta @aakashg0 4 harsh truths I realized too late as a PM: 1. It’s more important to have massive impact than be liked 2. Most colleagues don’t like that you are the decision-maker 3. Most PM jobs are 60 hours, not 40 4. The more responsive, the better Replying to @aakashg0 You only get

Global Data: Black Hole Size in Perspective at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkO9YbOOll4 Thank you for that. But suggest you add the big bang region as well. It is essentially an open black hole. Look at the volume per solar mass of each of these you listed. A region can be unconsolidated and still be “black” trapping light. My

Hitching a ride on an extrasolar object – Take lots of supplies and plan for 10000 years — I was working out what is needed to image nearby stars and planets. But I remembered that Oumuamua extrasolar object. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliosphere#Heliopause If another one passes by, or there was some way to catch up, Elon

Humans can colonize Milky Way Galaxy with intelligent devices, and search for gravity signals. — Galactic civilizations using intelligent devices can live billions of years. So the most likely “species” for human devices to meet would be intelligent devices. Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope might look for intelligent messages in the galactic plane. And space

Watching “Are We Alone?” at https://youtu.be/c53yK1MJOY, I thought (Most species in the Universe might be fabricated, not natural, and live for Millions of years) If fabricated lifeforms are the dominant species, even from organic precursor species – once formed they can spread for billions of years. Have unique memories and existence for millions/ billions of

Every frame of every video posted on the Internet, generated by diffusion and algorithm, could be dated, tagged and traced. If all copies are different, then it is hard to know which part is the tag. There are people who know how to do that fairly and usefully. Each person sees a unique video, the

Richard Collins: Can you tell me details of the Atacama Total Power Array? It seems to be four (12 meter) radio telescopes. Is any of the data available from the Total Power Array available? I am reading “Discovery of an Accretion Streamer and a Slow Wide-angle Outflow around FU Orionis” at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad31a1 and want to

I am reading the 14 repositories for CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) at https://github.com/orgs/casangi/repositories There are only 6942 files and 1814 folders in total and what appears to be many duplicates. And MANY duplicate file and folder names. A good part of the problem with CASA is the poor methods for file management. If
