I have not used PixInsight, but read what they are doing at https://pixinsight.com/. The commercial license is 230 Euros (about $275). They have free versions, but not sure what limitations, if any. All their image processing workshops listed are from 2017. There are software tutorials by their “PTeam” members at https://pixinsight.com/tutorials/index.html I do not know how many

Ben NASA Profile Video 1 Trying to summarize the methods and issues and goals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aARsXPWQnRo This is a draft review of some NASA.gov pages. I am trying to formalize and simplify the recommendations for the whole Internet. NASA is so important to the human species right now. If this solar system colonization goes smoothly and

At https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67eTLeNwLgE Alexander, You are using what looks like to be a good computer tool for these calculations and visualizations. But you don’t explain your tools and give links to let others know what to use, or what you recommend. I watched your hysteresis video. It is really shaky and hard to watch. You could use

Emily, I have not forgotten about you and NASA.gov. In fact, I spent many full days checking different aspects of what is going on, who is doing it, who it serves, how much (if any) user involvement is allowed, the level of practice shown in the pages, integration (or not) with contractors and federal agencies,

Nora, Thanks, I will keep that in mind. If you cast tiny angular (square, triangular, for example) blocks of plastic on ends of an optical fiber, then polish the whole thing, that would give a fiber that would alighn properly with a corresponding hole and fiber (or fibers). It is something that human hands could

Shawn, The atmospheric gravitational noise is much larger than the signals from the subsurface (usually). The noise in that gravimeter you want to buy is mostly atmospheric and thermal radiation field connected. Calibrate it against the sun and moon first. Then against 3D near realtime atmospheric models. (Climate and meteorology are just atmospheric, and the

Accelerometer Specifications: Deciphering an Accelerometer’s Datasheet by Steve Hanly https://blog.endaq.com/accelerometer-specifications-decoding-a-datasheet I see you mention temperature sensitivity. I am writing an article on gravimeters and recommending different ones. Someone estimated their response to temperature. It can be estimated for gravimeter arrays. Here is how I estimated it. Relation between gravity, magnetism and temperature at the earths

Shawn, I worked with the US Agency for International Development, the US State Department, World Bank and many international organizations. Most countries cannot afford to do their own mineral exploration, so outsiders come and take what they have. I helped put microcomputer training and technology into that system so that some countries could afford to

I wrote this yesterday, and then realized that if global climate change increases the global temperature by 1 degree then that will change the readings at all accelerometer sites. But the (word that starts with i) at NASA and other places don’t give you the absolute temperature time series, only the change. But the impact

Windows USB GPS Device Based on UBlox Chip and UCenter Software https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJZHVKGrl6Y @Ali Zitouna Hamed, I am not sure what you mean by “base ntrip”. I made this long ago and have not used UBlox lately. Since then i have been working on software defined radios, electromagnetic interference, gravitational wave detection, imaging arrays for gravitational
