small [OM SYSTEM OM-1 mk ii | 17mm f1.2 | 10s ISO 8000]
1d 9h ago in astrophotography from lemmy.dbzer0.comThanks! When you say
the distorted stars on the edges
do you mean the edge of the frame or the edges of the stars? I'm assuming you mean edge of the frame due to the edge-to-edge sharpness diminishing wide open, but it seems to my eyes all my stars are a bit distorted -- even in the center. Then again, I have no idea how they ought to look! lol. I did use the 500 rule to try to avoid star trails. I think 13s exposure was acceptable but i wanted to be safe so i went with 10s.
any chance you have any reading recommendations for astrophotography, or maybe even for astronomy in general?
Whoops, probably shouldve thrown that in the title. it was a 10s exposure at iso 8000, wide open at f/1.2
i processed using darktable. this was my first time trying anything remotely astro related, so any criticism welcome! there's some hot pixels down there in the shadows i coudlve cleaned up a bit more, but meh
Edit: just to add some more detail because I failed to read the rules. Sorry bout that. I processed in darktable, essentially I just used darktable's astro Denoise module, set the strength to around 75. I used the regular Denoise profiled module, and capture sharpening. I pushed the darks down and pulled the highlights up in the sky with color balance RGB and a mask, and did essentially the opposite with a second color balance RGB instance in order to bring out the land and the house. I had quite a few hot pixels that I tried to remove with the hot pixel module, but it didn't seem to work, so I used retouch to just remove them. They were all in the land section so I didn't disturb any stars

‘Fallout’: Aaron Paul Joins Season 3 Of Prime Video Series
1mon 7d ago in television@piefed.social from deadline.comI'm more of a TV show fan than Fallout fan, so I didn't like it too much. But if you like Fallout, I bet you'll like it. It's good Fallout, meh TV imo
What have you been working on or learning to do recently?
1mon 9d ago in asklemmyAy I'm a terrible lead guitarist. Finally learning to open up the fretboard and play over backing tracks in whatever key
Plus, learning some crowd pleasers rather than obscure folk punk songs so maybe I can play a gig one day
Literally exactly how it works, too.
1mon 10d ago in science_memes@mander.xyzI was curious, so I went to Wikipedia, as one does.
A notable example of the observer effect occurs in quantum mechanics, as demonstrated by the double-slit experiment. Physicists have found that observation of quantum phenomena by a detector or an instrument can change the measured results of this experiment. Despite the "observer effect" in the double-slit experiment being caused by the presence of an electronic detector, the experiment's results have been interpreted by some to suggest that a conscious mind can directly affect reality.[3] However, the need for the "observer" to be conscious is not supported by scientific research, and has been pointed out as a misconception rooted in a poor understanding of the quantum wave function ψ and the quantum measurement process
Edit: erhm. this isnt an ad for Wikipedia. the words just shook out that way. lol
Ireland is a Catholic majority country. Yet all the Americans I know who identify as Irish are Protestant. Why is that?

Proposal: Treating Anti-Vegan Discourse as Anti-Scientific and Incompatible with Anarchist Principles in Moderation Practice
1mon 12d ago in div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com from lemmy.dbzer0.comEven still it is a bad critique of veganism
Why do you say this ? Or maybe someone else critical of Gelderloos' critique could chime in, because I thought it was pretty good.
[Discussion] Toughts on nonviolence?
1mon 13d ago in anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com from lemmy.dbzer0.comI also won’t stand in the way if other victims of the oppressive system we live under rise up in violent revolt
Hmm, doesn't this make you non-pacifist? I think if you condone violence by others you might not be a pacifist, even if you refuse to take part in violence, yourself. I guess it depends on the definition...
Only reason I say this is because I feel the same way personally about violence -- I never use it as a tactic, and would like the right to refuse to use it personally -- but believe that members of a movement shouldn't restrict the range of tactics its members use against a violent system. So I feel like I feel the same as you, but came to the opposite conclusion (I'm not a pacifist)
