It’s the fun criss cross your nerves do before they go into your arm, and is the bane of first year med students everywhere
Ever since they got rid of woke the starships just keep blowing up
I know a few attendings that use it for dictation. It’ll record the entire convo with the patient, plus whatever the doc dictates to it, and by the time they’re out of the room a note is typed up in the right format they wouldn’t have to stare at the computer the whole visit. According to them it’s a lot more time efficient to have it dictate the notes and double check them at the end of the day, versus typing something up after every patient. It is approved by the hospital and integrated directly into the EMR, so I guess it’s HIPAA compliant
Phenomenal season all around! Can’t wait for season 3 where Nathan breaks down communication barriers between surgeons and anesthesiologists /s
If you still wanna check a website, I highly recommend heavens-above. The daily predictions for brighter satellites page on there is also great for seeing what will fly over on any given night (and the path across the star maps are accurate to help spot satellites!)
I’m left handed
What equipment/settings/processing did you use?
What equipment/settings/processing did you use?
Shot this last year but didn’t get around to processing it until now. Captured over like a dozen nights in December 2024 from a bortle 9 zone. Sh2-170 is probably most known for being the dot that makes up the larger ‘question mark nebula’ (not my pic, but this one is in true color). The nebula in my pic is false color, but the stars are true color. Captured over a bunch of nights from November 30 to January 11th, from a bortle 9 zone.

Capture Software:
PixInsight Preprocessing:
BatchPreProcessing
StarAlignment
Blink
ImageIntegration per channel
DrizzleIntegration (2x, Var β=1.5)
Dynamic Crop
DynamicBackgroundExtraction
duplicated each image and removed stars via StarXterminator. Ran DBE with a shitload of points to generate background model. model subtracted from original pic using the following PixelMath (math courtesy of /u/jimmythechicken1)
$T * med(model) / model
Narrowband Linear:
Blur and NoiseXTerminator
StarXterminator to completely remove stars from each the image
HistogramTransformation to stretch each Ha Oiii and Sii image to nonlinear
Broadband/RGB linear:
ChannelCombination to make color image from R G and B stacks
SpectrophotometricColorCalibration
HSV repair to fix blown out star cores
StarX (correct only)
StarX to make a stars only image
ArcsinhStretch + Histogramtransformation to stretch nonlinear (Calling this the Stars image now)
Nonlinear:
Pixelmath to combine stretched narrowband images into color image (SHO --> RGB)
SCNR green
Several curve transformations to adjust lightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, etc
ColorSaturation
NoiseXterminator
LRGBCombination with stretched Ha as luminance
LocalHistogramEqualization
shitloads more curves
another slight scnr
Pixelmath to add in the stretched RGB Stars image from earlier
This basically re-linearizes the two images, adds them together, and then stretches them back to before. More info on it here)
mtf(.005,
mtf(.995,Stars)+
mtf(.995,Starless))
few more curve adjustments
DynamicCrop again (just a little bit)
Resample to 50% (to hide my shitty noise reduction job)
Annotation
I’m not gonna bother waking up for it. Sadly I don’t think I can get a cloud gun delivered by tonight
generally as long as you aren’t pushing near the weight limit of your mount it should track fine for deep sky (personally, my imaging train weights 20 pounds, with a 30 pound class mount). You should be fine at 4kg, but might be pushing it if you decide to get autoguiding in the future
I really hope they have some cameras on em
what did you use to capture/process this?
Supposedly the show has had a 7 season storyline planned from the start
What equipment did you use?
TURD mod for recoloring, and conformal decals for adding PNGs/text as flags on the side of the vehicle
Had an exam in the morning but now I’m just chillin this whole weekend
It’s a great pic
