I guess it is clear from these postings that I haven’t seen a clear sky in a long while 🙁 What is even more annoying is that I’ve just hooked the Sky 6 up to the C11 so I can … Continue reading
Two views of Enneper’s minimal surface created in Mathematica:
Bifurcation diagram:
And as I’m on a roll – here’s another surface – this time it’s Boy’s surface:
I have always been interested in mathematical shapes and surface which is the main reason for the Mobius Loop appearing below (I don’t really think it has anything to do with the structure of spacetime). However there have been a … Continue reading
Is our Universe a 4-dimensional Mobius Loop giving the appearance of an infinitely large structure? Mathematica produced 3-dimensional surface with x= (1+0.5 v * Cos(0.5u))*Cos(u) y=(1+0.5 v * Cos(0.5 u))*Sin(u) z=0.5 v * (Sin 0.5u)
I connected up the Paramount ME to its 48V power supply which in turn goes to a 1000W uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in my attempt to protect the delicate Paramount motor boards and electronics from anything nasty coming down the … Continue reading
The Paramount has now been brought up to my study and is sutting on the Aluminium pier ready to be fired up. Must admit I hadn’t planned for my study to be taken over with Astronomy equipment – but needs … Continue reading
I have just brought the massive all-Aluminium mini-WASP pier in from the shed. I will set it up in the upstairs study with the Paramount on top to give a dry run for the computer and all the electronics. The … Continue reading
Thought I would begin a video diary on the mini-WASP array project at this time even before the hole has been dug in the ground for the obligatory concrete block. As we are all aware – any new observatory project … Continue reading
