Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>A convenient followup: our paper on photometric calibration of the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/eVscope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eVscope</span></a> just came out: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1117/1.JATIS.11.2.028002" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1117/1.JATIS.11.2.0</span><span class="invisible">28002</span></a></p><p>Check it out 🙂 </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/CitizenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CitizenScience</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a></p>
Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>Here's an image I took of the Whirlpool galaxy in my backyard a few nights ago with an <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/evscope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evscope</span></a>. <br> <br>My backyard is not especially dark, there is a lot of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LightPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LightPollution</span></a>. But the camera integrated the starlight for about an hour, and displays the background as black (with the light pollution removed).</p><p>Without light pollution, the background would still be black, but the galaxy have more details and would be more defined, because the signal to noise ratio would be much higher.</p>
Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>When I was born, our civilization didn't yet have evidence that other stars had planets.</p><p>Last night, I took measurements of a planet crossing the face of another star from my backyard with an <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/eVscope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eVscope</span></a>.</p><p>How cool is that?</p>

Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>Last night, Sicco Bauer and I made simultaneous observations of the GOES 12 satellite through an <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/eVscope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eVscope</span></a>. Sicco was in Dresden, I was in Bochum (~450 km apart).</p><p>We both see a dramatic brightening of the satellite as it passes through the (different) field of view.</p><p>It's maybe not surprising, because the satellite is so far away that the angular difference is &lt;1 degree. But still, it's cool that this can be done, and shows the utility of the setup.</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Satellite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satellite</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LightPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LightPollution</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Telescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Telescope</span></a></p>
