Sorry for the off-topic, but I wish our FreeBSD camp could roll back a little from this faux-corporate glass ball without soul and a font from the early 90s spaceship toy box, to Beastie and a stylish serif. What I was trying to say - I'm in envy. OpenBSD artwork is absolutely amazing!
For me the word becquerel itself requires some additional brain power points to write. Is it bequerel or becquerel? Do we capitalize it or not? Not when written, but Bq is capitalized, so it's indeed kBq. But then again, is it per second? No, the unit, has per second in it already... And we not need to confuse it with B for byte. I thoroughly enjoyed the article but there's no need to complicate the world further. rps is perfectly fine.
It's surprising to see an OS, dominant as a sever platform, now optimizing catering to people who are unsure whether they've pressed a button on their keyboard. What's next, replacing asterisks with a progress bar?
Apple is no longer about Jobs' "simplicity as the ultimate sophistication". It feels like a bunch of kids with no proper design education competing for the security of their salaries. Apple is dead without Steve. The company has no focal point. They're running solely on the inertia from Mac OS X and the first generations of the iPhone.
That's a pretty extreme take. I've been using the Mac since about 2001. I like Tahoe and a well designed Tahoe app can look really nice on the platform. There are bugs, inconsistencies and other issues, but it doesn't feel that different than many previous macOS / OS X releases
Sorry for the off-topic, but what a bliss to see Windows 2000 interface. And what an absolute abomination from hell pretty much all the modern UIs are.
Fantastic news. As ACP is no longer in development, I am starting to slowly look for a replacement, and a few things that come up in my mind:
- Will it work with MaximDL to acquire images and autoguide, or will it simply not need it at all?
- Will it work with PWI3 for autofocusing?
- Will offset tracking (at custom dRA, dDec rates) be implemented at some point to track artificial satellites?
- Will it at some point implement targeting using TLEs and MPC elements?
- I am extensively using #WAITZENDIST and other #WAIT directives to wait for an object to be at certain altitude - would be really good to implement that in observation plans (a single plan can do a number of things sequentially.)
- Can plans launch custom Python scripts and read/write stuff from/to files?
I probably want too much at this point, but sincerely wishing you best of luck with this incredible project, will definitely follow all the developments!
