The Orion Nebula with a mobile-freaking-phone:


Pixel 4A + Celestron SLT 130, 10mm eyepiece.

My telescope was in auto-tracking mode and the exposure time was 4 minutes with the default Pixel Camera app.

I am astonished by this photo! You can see freaking color! COLOR! I only tuned down the gamma a bit but that's all of the editing I've done. Here is another unedited photo with a 20mm eyepiece:

I was soooo surprised to see this coming out of the phone :D - damn so fucking cool! 1.3 thousand light years away, stars forming.....so beautiful....so mindblowing!

This is so cool! 😍

So you attach your phone to the eyepiece of your telescope, right? Also, could you see this nebula with your naked eyes or did you had to use the 4 minute exposure photography to see it clearly?

Yes. I will do a video about these but basically yes I have a special adapter that connects my phone to the eyepiece of the telescope. Interestingly with the night mode for my phone (the default pixel camera app) you can see this nebula almost like you see it with your naked eye. But ofc not that sharp and clear. So you can see it some, but it is ofc colorless if you look directly at it. And it is nowhere near close to what you see in this photo I took. That's why I love to take these photos because they reveal the invisible.

Also the light pollution makes a massive difference when it comes to seeing such faint objects. This is an interesting article with illustrations about what you can see and how through different telescopes and conditions - deepskywatch.com/Articles/what…

Quelques outils de gestion de projet open source


Les #outils de #gestion de #projet #opensource offrent plusieurs avantages, notamment la #flexibilité, l'#adaptabilité et la #transparence. Je sais de quoi je parle car j'utilise actuellement #ProjeQtOr chez mon #employeur pour gérer mes projets. Quelques bonnes raisons d'utiliser ces outils: la possibilité de #personnaliser et de #modifier le #code #source pour répondre à des besoins spécifiques, ce qui les rend plus flexibles que les #solutions #propriétaire.
