Another hobby of mine is “experimental mathematics” – I think I may have mentioned (ages ago) my Prime number hunting server. Well way back in June 2007 (just before actually) I discovered something that seems to have been overlooked for … Continue reading
This is the original Parker/Carboni Heart nebula taken with a single Sky90 and M25C OSC CCD after star reduction has been applied.
Well this is very interesting! Applying star reduction to the original Parker/Carboni M31 image, taken with a single Sky90 and M25C OSC CCD – brings out all the blue (hot young stars) which was not visible with all the stars … Continue reading
Climate change? What climate change? Where’s your proof??? You aren’t going to believe this one. So I suffer from Hayfever – big deal – why are you talking about Hayfever at the end of December?? I know Hayfever symptoms (I’ve … Continue reading
Nice clear night last night and I managed to grab 20 x 10-minute subs with the Canon 200mm prime lenses and the ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras on the Sadr region. A bit perverse imaging Cygnus at the end of … Continue reading
A bit of star reduction on the wide field Sadr region works wonders.
Surprisingly, even a region which is predominantly stars can benefit from a little star reduction.
Here are the first 200 Fibonacci numbers – and the list below shows whether they are Prime (True) or not (False). Courtesy of Mathematica. {1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, … Continue reading
Having spent the whole day on the Golden Ratio, the Fibonacci sequence, the Golden (Planar) Angle, and Phyllotaxis – here is a Mathematica produced piccie of the Sunflower seed-head pattern using 2,000 “seeds”.
The well-known Fibonacci sequence formed by summing consecutive terms looks like: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89………. And a well known property of this sequence is that if you take the ratio of consecutive terms … Continue reading
