Hello #astronomers! Today, we are thrilled to announce the latest update of PLAY #astrophotography software, featuring the new PLANETARIUM sky chart! When we control our #telescopes, we love connecting our mount to planetarium software with starts, planets, and deep-sky objects. This provides an interactive experience to explore the universe and an easier way to control our telescopes. With the new PLAY 1.9 release, we’ve integrated the PLANETARIUM tab that creates sky chart based on your time and location settings, allowing you to identify stars, planets, constellations, and deep-sky objects, and point your telescope at them easily. Here are some features of the new PLANETARIUM: 🔭 Real-time telescope position tracking. 📷 Field of view (FoV) plotting based on your telescope and camera. 🌟 Easy object selection. 🔄 Rotate the field of view with ARCO rotator. ✨ Suggested Targets feature with the best objects to capture. PLAY now allows you to control your telescope in the easiest way ever, perfect for both personal and complete astronomical observatories like our Observatory Stations!

Dive into our comprehensive guide to discover how the RC Telescope eliminates optical errors, enhances image quality, and offers unparalleled clarity in astronomical observation. Explore the fascinating journey of the RC Telescope and its impact on astronomical exploration, from its unique hyperbolic mirror design to its advanced optical path. https://lnkd.in/gBjFMA2T #RCTelescope #Astronomy #TelescopeTechnology #ReflectingTelescope #AstronomicalObservation #engineering #optics #opticaldesign #opticalengineering #customoptics #imageprocessing #biophotonics #Innovation #Avantier

New Boris Chimp 504 Audiovisual Live Act : RED SPECTRUM . “Spitzer Space Telescope was an infrared observatory, used to study objects too cold to emit visible light, including exoplanets, brown dwarfs, comets, and asteroids. Despite halting its science operations in January 2020, it has recently and unexpectedly started transmitting... in the red spectrum! Besides this apparent malfunction of the abandoned telescope, it has also been transmitting data of uncanny mechanical structures and unknown bio-organisms.” This new Boris Chimp 504’s chapter explores new territories and space dimensions by adding a new color dimension to the monochromatic vision and merging organic and two-dimensional visuals with the usual 3D geometric-hard edges aesthetic. The audiovisual narrative follows up with Boris Chimp 504 voyages through outer space emerging the audiences in space exploration, science and technology themes, merging reality and fiction. #avlive #avshow #audiovisualart #livevisuals #liveperformance #generativeart #audioreactive #artsnumeriques @vuoflow #digitalart #generativegraphics

🌌 Did you know that the cameras used in many space missions possess an awe-inspiring level of precision? These cutting-edge lenses are so powerful that they can discern not only the breathtaking landscapes of Earth but also the color and size of your shoes from space! 👟✨ Imagine the technology that allows these space cameras to capture such intricate details. Originally designed for astronomical wonders, they have proven to be capable of zooming in with remarkable accuracy, potentially spotting individual objects on the ground from orbit. Take a moment to marvel at the incredible capabilities of these space cameras, bridging the gap between the vastness of space and the tiniest details on Earth. 🛰️ #SpaceTechnology #CosmicPrecision #SpaceCameras"

Smart telescopes have revolutionized the way we capture images of stars and galaxies. #GenAI has enabled telescopes to take long exposures and shoot multiple pictures, which are then composed to generate the final image. Check out this stunning image of the M45 nebula, captured by the Seestars50 telescope after a 35-minute exposure. #Astrophotography #SmartTelescopes #GenAI

The first and only images of exoplanets, mere pixels of light, have revolutionized our perspective through the lens of direct imaging. These captivating snapshots, although limited in pixel count, serve as a gateway to a wealth of astronomical insights. Through the ingenious technique of splitting light into a spectrum of colors, scientists decode the secrets hidden within these celestial points, unveiling the atmospheric composition of distant planets in exquisite detail. #infinitycosmos More Read > https://lnkd.in/eSp2xCd8

#ThrowbackThursday: Reflecting on Fujifilm's contributions to astronomy. Since 1987, Fujifilm's Comet Large Binoculars, outfitted with high-performance Fujinon lenses, have been instrumental in the detection of 15 comets, including the well-known Comet Hyakutake. Astronomical observatories and artificial satellites have embraced our superior optical technology, allowing humanity to explore space with unparalleled clarity. Our binoculars are well-known for their ability to capture brilliant, crisp images across the whole field of view, including at night. This is made possible by our patented EBC coating, which reduces light reflection and increases colour transparency, paired with precision craftsmanship that polishes the lens to 1/1000 mm accuracy. Fujifilm's commitment to excellence in optical and imaging technology supports humanity's drive to explore space, whether through telescopes at observatories or cameras on satellites that observe Earth. Learn more about our journey and technological advances. https://brnw.ch/21wKZlV (JP) #Fujifilm #Astronomy #FujifilmLegacy

Amazing relaxing wallpapers on my laptop. By the Way, do you know what this is? This is #NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was recently released, showing incredibly detailed views of spiral galaxies in near and midinfrared light. Comparing these new images with previous views seen by NASA’s other space telescope, Hubble, in visible and ultraviolet light, reveals new galactic structures and elements. A face-on view of spiral galaxy NGC 1566, split diagonally in this combination image. The image from the James Webb Space Telescope (#JWST) appears at upper right, and the Hubble Space Telescope’s at lower left. The #JWST image shows galaxies in near- and mid-infrared light, compared with Hubble’s view, which shows visible and ultraviolet light. In the #JWST image, dust glows in infrared light, whereas #Hubble shows dark regions where the starlight is absorbed by dust. A combination image of spiral galaxy NGC 4321, seen by #JWST in infrared (bottom), and by Hubble (top) in visible and ultraviolet light. NGC 4321 lies about 55 million light-years away from Earth. A combination image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672, seen by #JWST in infrared (right), and by Hubble (left) in visible and ultraviolet light. A combination image of the spiral galaxy NGC 1087, seen by #JWST in infrared (lower right), and by Hubble (upper left) in visible and ultraviolet light A combination image of the spiral galaxy NGC 3627, seen by #JWST in infrared (right), and by Hubble (left) in visible and ultraviolet light. NGC 3627 lies about 31 million light-years away from #Earth. #DigitalAesthetics #SpiralSetup #TrendyVibes #ModernDesign #ArtisticDisplay #DecorInspiration #VisualAppeal #CreativeSpaces #InnovativeDecor #AestheticTrends #SpiralArt #InteriorStyling #designerlaptop #designer
