Four Numbers

This is an image of the whiteboard in my study. In the top left hand corner are 4 numbers taken to a LOT of decimal places. What are these numbers? A good mathematician should get 3, and exceptional mathematician should … Continue reading

From M42 to M78

Only 2 x 20-minute subs with the 200mm lenses – but it shows the way to proceed with this one. Obviously a 20-minute sub is way too long for M42, but just fine for the Horsehead region. So a fair … Continue reading
