Happy Australian day to all 'Ozzies' haha :D I'm just watching the fireworks in Melbourne right now (they break away for that during the tennis, Federer/Nadal), and I was wondering; do they shoot fireworks in all cities all over australia at the same time? Or do they go by time-zones, or...

In Denmark (Scandinavia) a weather-balloon was sent up yesterday. It reached an altitude of 31 kilometer, 19 miles, or just over 100,000 feet :) It carried, among other things, a camera. The footage has not been fully edited and released to the public yet, they said on tv today. But some...

All this talk about politics quickly makes us forget, or some of us atleast, that there's so much more to the US than terror-laws and flying killer-drones in arab countries. If I should list 1 thing that I truly admire about the US, and wish we had more of here in Denmark, then it is the CUTE...

Last chance in the next 100 years for you to celebrate one of our calendar's... oddities, if you will :) November 11th, 2011, at 11:11 :) In short it will write as "11-11-11 11:11" (all ONEs, a single digit) Next time that will happen is in year 2111. It's not really perfectly uniform this...

Here's an idea for a christmas present for the tech-guy who has everything... but this: http://dvice.com/archives/2011/10/radiation-detec.php :cheers:

World championships in Daegu. If you're into athletics this last week has been a real treat :) Well done Jamaica with the new world record! :thumbup: (4x100 meter relay run in 37.04 seconds) http://daegu2011.iaaf.org/ (the prefix says 'gaming', I guess that's the one closest to sports of...

http://www.grelf.net/ Aside from DeepSkyStacker, Grip is really useful. It can do many things that DSS cannot (they're not really comparable, except both can stack images) Actually I find Grip more often makes errors when stacking in warp mode, but is better than DSS in the 2 other...

I'm thinking about doing some startrail photos, and wanted to hear if anyone have any tips or tricks for that. Especially whether it's better to go for 1 long exposure, or a series of shorter exposures which are then combined later. Pros and cons of various methods. Software recommendations...

Testing my ability to capture and track airliners in flight for digi-scoping purposes... That is tricky! :) Here's 3 of the best photos I managed to get from my attempts: http://jelair.jelstudio.dk/observatory/aircraft/index.html A 747 at 38,000', a 737 at 37,000' and an A321 at 38,000'

Goodmorning music fans :) Guano Apes, the wonderful german band with the amazingly strong voice of Sandra Nasic, is releasing their new cd today. Not an april fools joke! It's called "BEL AIR" Check it out here: http://www.guanoapes.org/de-en/music/bel-air Or watch this little promo...

Regarding telescopes for astronomy use: I just found this link with a series of video-tips, where Jesse Sturgeon explains many things a newbie (like I am myself in this) might find interesting :) http://www.ehow.co.uk/video_4975406_tips-buying-telescope.html From different telescope-types, to...

Tools for your sky-watching tool-box :) I've tried Registax, Deepskystacker, Rot'n'Stack, IRIS, and now also GRIP. They're all good, and they're all different. My own short run-down of their main differences: Registax Stacking: Everything stackable really. Even pictures of rose-beds. It...

Like there is software that can recognize faces on people automatically, and show their names, are there any software that can do that for stars or constellations? An automatic night-sky analyzer that can estimate where your photo actually belongs on the night-sky dome. A bit like a stitching...

I haven't really done any actual DLL work since I was on windows98, so lot's of rust have piled up in that area :) I've just downloaded VC++2010express to see how it plays, and I can get it to do both vessels and mfds now, so the basics of all this stuff are back with me. Now, while debugging...

This is not exactly like this movie: "Surviving the Game (1994)" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111323/ But it certainly is no good either: (These 2 news-links are written in danish language and apparently doesn't have any english translations unfortunately.)...
