@NatSolarObs and @AURADC and @NSF At https://nso.edu/data/nisp-data/h-alpha/ it says “There is no attempt to cross-compare images at different sites to provide higher accuracy at this time.” Is that still true? What is the full potential now if all countries and groups combine across all frequencies? Sharing lossless data, and global best practices

” awarded three nights of observing time” at Steward Observatory – Replying to @StewardAstro Share exact data streams online with 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet, permanent open resources Did you record the data in lossless form, archived and accessible online, to share the exact data stream online with 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet?

I do not see an obvious shared archive or mention of any long term sky camera and lossless image sharing mentioned. I worked at Georgetown University Center for Population Research and USAID for many years. GU was supposed to be founded by Jesuits, but I never met any. I grew up Catholic so your goals

https://x.com/Havenlust/status/1854750698769920469/photo/1 My comment: I love it as an evocative image. But I absolutely hate that you used a lossy format so I cannot study the pixels with deep algorithms I know and design. NONE of the colors will match the original. Because you let the bad jpeg algorithms chew up your raw sensor data and

Richard and OpenAI ChatGPT refine ideas related to sharing and using all data, forever [ full conversation at /?p=18322 ] Richard Collins: I am looking at some of the Rubin Observatory postings and sites on the Internet. It is ONE project but many fragmented sites, styles, purposes, methods and policies. What are

Rubin Observatory questions – Commissioning camera data sharing tests Can the 5.4 Billion Internet users download images from the test camera in raw format to test your Internet sharing methods and pathways? Where are the specifications for the test (“commissioning” ) camera? Specifications for the test survey? Do you have the data sharing plan during

It should be possible to form that into a single beam. Thanks for sharing. Controlling and shaping the near field to generate 2 meter or 20 meter long plasma channels It would need an additional array of charge and voltage nodes, sensors and machine intelligence algorithm. I am just saying it should be possible. My

@MAST_News Dear Barbara A Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes, I receive your newsletter because I am interested in MAST (Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes) But I do not know all your insider acronyms. There are about 5.4 Billion Internet users now, and most of them will not know either. Perhaps you can have a checkbox

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1278689162297491 Ralph, Is there any lossless format for videos (a stack of images) of the type you posted? I mostly cannot clearly see now, so I study the data in the images. Much of solar, astronomical, satellite and other images need processing, not just human eyeballs that fail with time. Any suggestions? I see that

I am looking at a false color version of the AIA HIMIIC image of the sun today. It was originally a monochrome image and that is give as HMII, then colorized to make HMIIC. But then dumped into jpg with lossy compression, so many of the pixels have intensities where R G B from the
