本站添加: 2026-04-29

[00:03:31]Okay, greetings from Pompei.

[00:03:35]We're trying to see if we remember how to use Stelina.

[00:03:41]She spent the winter hiding and now she is out. Let's see how well she will do and we have dwarf three.

[00:04:09]I have no idea what they have done to the latest app.

[00:04:15]It's all new, all strange.

[00:04:20]They just can't leave anything alone when it's working.

[00:04:30]Everybody has an extreme obsession with updating, with breaking what's working.

[00:04:54]Aha. That's what this does.

[00:05:04]Okay.

[00:05:42]As you can tell from the window and from the sky cam, it is still bright outside.

[00:05:51]We will attempt to uh get Stelina going when it gets dark.

[00:06:00]We'll initialize it.

[00:06:03]Targets for the night. Let's see what we have.

[00:06:47]Please let me know if you hear the clacking noise that we had last time we went live.

[00:06:56]We suspect it was due to Starlink.

[00:07:00]So, we're back to cable to see if that will if that was indeed the issue.

[00:07:10]Let me see what planets sorry what comments are visible tonight.

[00:07:21]This assumes I still remember how to program write ascension and declination in Stellina. We'll see.

[00:07:52]No, it has already set uh C2025 R3 is gone for tonight.

[00:08:03]Yep.

[00:08:05]Okay, let's see who else comes.

[00:08:31]I don't know if Selena is going to be able to look at Jupiter. We will see you soon.

[00:08:49]Hello Rodney.

[00:09:02]We're waiting for it to get a little bit darker. As you can see, the window is still blue on my side.

[00:09:12]Looks like 29P is a possibility.

[00:09:24]Yeah, we had rain last night.

[00:09:30]We're looking at it tonight with uh with at the moon with dwarf.

[00:09:36]I am doing what? You hear the clicking again cuz I uh turned off Starlink and we're going back on cable. Apparently the clicking occurs when I stop talking for some reason.

[00:09:55]Hello, Stanley.

[00:10:05]So, is the moon upside down? Uh, we were trying to catch the Arteimus 2 capsule as soon as it went around the moon, but it were not to be. It was not to be.

[00:10:25]We had clouds and uh we were not able to see it. Some folks did capture it.

[00:10:32]Actually, lots of folks claim to have captured it. Let me see if we can see comet 29P.

[00:10:40]Uh maybe maybe Yeah, 29p right now is possible.

[00:11:09]We'll keep an eye on it and see if we can catch it.

[00:11:14]I need to see stars on the sky cam before I ask Stellina to initialize.

[00:11:20]Dwarf, on the other hand, has no problem picking up the moon.

[00:11:44]We have no shortage of uh galaxies and comets to look at.

[00:12:00]Yeah, 29P seems to be uh both 24p and 29P are possibilities.

[00:12:48]We will start with 29P and then hop over to 24p.

[00:13:04]Yep, that's the plan.

[00:13:11]So, will it allow us to plan my night and include It has a few comets in there.

[00:14:14]We are looking for comments.

[00:14:17]Let's search for uh doesn't know it.

[00:15:04]No joy.

[00:15:07]All right.

[00:15:31]I thought comets were in the solar system.

[00:15:36]Both are faint targets, but remember glass has its privileges. We're using Stelina with 3 in aperture.

[00:15:48]So hoping to see them.

[00:16:00]All right. We don't have it here.

[00:16:02]Manual.

[00:16:09]Okay. We should be able to enter uh a manual target.

[00:16:18]Create a manual target by searching our extensive catalog.

[00:16:23]Will that allow us to find it?

[00:16:29]No. Negative.

[00:16:37]No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Okay, back.

[00:16:46]So, 29P object name.

[00:16:59]I'm going to call it H. It doesn't matter.

[00:17:08]I got an app update. Have not gotten a firmware update in a while.

[00:17:21]Right. Ascension 11 hours 1 minute 45 seconds. At least I won't have to be scrolling a wheel up and down the way Dwarf insists on us doing it.

[00:17:49]Minus 1°ree 21 minutes 13 seconds.

[00:18:09]And this is 29p tonight. Let's see if that'll work.

[00:18:14]We'll add 24 P.

[00:18:39]24p.

[00:18:53]14 hours.

[00:18:58]46 minutes.

[00:19:04]45 seconds.

[00:19:10]This time it's a + one degree.

[00:19:15]46 minutes and 57 seconds.

[00:19:25]Save.

[00:19:38]I'm not going to attempt to initialize Stelina until uh we see stars in there. If I try, it's going to complain that the sun is not further down. Jacob, how are you?

[00:19:57]We're trying to see if we remember how to use Stelina tonight.

[00:20:04]Plus, we have War 3 out there and I have no idea how to use it anymore.

[00:20:10]They went on a crazy spree of changing everything in the interface.

[00:20:22]The other day I had a fun experience with u my Garmin watch wanting to update the firmware and then my cell phone wanting to update the firmware and then my tablet updating its firmware and then um Dwarf updating its firmware and Windows updating my laptop. top and then Tesla updating its firmware. So, everything except for the microwave and the washing machine updated their firmware in the house.

[00:21:05]Jacob, you may or may not know, but I've I got Starlink finally.

[00:21:09]It is uh it works very nice.

[00:21:14]have not tried taking it away yet.

[00:21:18]Right now, it's up and running only on my balcony and doing very well.

[00:21:36]Yeah, we'll see what we can do with dwarf tonight.

[00:21:42]If you have any targets in mind that we should attempt with either dwarf or stelina, please let me know.

[00:21:51]I don't plan to be up too late tonight.

[00:21:56]A busy day ahead tomorrow, plus still recovering from a half marathon that I ran on Saturday.

[00:22:08]Of all places in Roanoke, Virginia, the Blue Ridge Mountains, it was brutal, very hilly, very hot.

[00:22:22]Going down from the northern climates, I was not used to 93° heat yet, let alone running hills in it. Okay, enough complaining. So tonight, uh, I will consider a success if we get Stelina to work and to get anything with it.

[00:22:55]Good evening, B.

[00:23:00]Sorry I've been quiet and absent, but I went down to Blackburg, Virginia to visit uh my three grandsons.

[00:23:10]And I was scheduled to run a marathon, the Blue Ridge Marathon, but uh dropped down to the half at the last minute when I discovered that the weather forecast called for 93° at noon.

[00:23:26]Uh I don't think so.

[00:23:29]Having spent winter in the northern climates, I was not ready for a marathon at 93 degrees. So, I dropped down to the half and I was out of there before the heat.

[00:23:45]Ran it with my son. We chitchated quite a bit.

[00:23:50]So, we're back now to work.

[00:24:00]Bill, I am using cable.

[00:24:05]If you hear the da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da that we had last time we went live, please let me know.

[00:24:12]That will mean that the problem was not Starlink. I'll have to look some look further for it.

[00:24:20]In the meantime, let's see if we can initialize It thinks that we are 08 mile away.

[00:24:32]Yeah, it doesn't matter.

[00:24:35]Sun is too high. We'll give it then chance to go further down. Thank you.

[00:24:52]Thank you.

[00:25:06]The two targets that I have identified for tonight are uh comet 29P and comet 24p.

[00:25:16]And then we'll go hop around galaxies.

[00:25:20]I'd like to take another look at Sombrero with Stelina.

[00:25:29]We're going to see how well Stellina does.

[00:25:33]They have not updated firmware in at least 3 days, which is much better than others.

[00:25:40]Bill, I was rattling my uh experience two weeks ago with my watch updating the firmware.

[00:25:49]my cell phone updating firmware, my tablet, my computer, dwarf 3 and then my Tesla. All of them updated their firmware in the same day.

[00:26:27]I don't like change. I like what works.

[00:26:46]Well, I'm glad there is no clicking.

[00:26:54]I thought by now the sun will be far enough down for Stalina to be happy.

[00:27:52]Where is C60?

[00:27:54]I remember we did that antenna galaxy a while back. It's a beautiful one.

[00:28:05]The Sky Live has a new section on supernova.

[00:28:16]Let me write the DZ down.

[00:28:20]NGC 5907 and C60.

[00:28:31]Let's see which one of them is doable.

[00:29:12]Okay.

[00:29:15]So, we're looking for This is strange. It has no idea where I am.

[00:29:32]location search. You said C60 Jacob Stellarium the app does not know of C60 and does not know of an antenna galaxy either.

[00:30:23]I know we had looked at it before.

[00:30:40]And it does not know if an NGC 5907 don't know what's going on with Stellarium.

[00:30:59]Thank you, Bill. I will look it up.

[00:31:15]I see stars on the sky cam. So, we're going to try to initialize 4038.

[00:31:43]Okay. 30 40 40 38 we know it.

[00:31:48]It is doable.

[00:32:52]I got it.

[00:33:00]We just need to convince Stellina to find it.

[00:33:25]Trying to see if I can find the hi Gina coordinates for 5907 also known in edge as 5906.

[00:33:45]5906. We found Atlas want uh dwarf 3 wants an Atlas database. Sh.

[00:35:56]So, Stelina is stuck in a uh Okay, it's unstuck. Looking for a new pattern analysis.

[00:36:21]She forgot how to do it.

[00:36:27]How is body doing, Zena?

[00:37:57]Okay, Serena did not initialize Hello. I shall be big.

[00:38:34]So we are at NGC 5906.

[00:38:44]We're trying to look at the supernova on dwarf.

[00:39:02]It looks like Stelina forgot how to do work.

[00:39:32]Perfect.

[00:40:39]We have the galaxy on dwarf. Let's see how much how many frames we need to see it more clearly.

[00:41:05]And here come the starlings.

[00:41:34]All right. How do we adjust the histogram?

[00:42:00]Let's try that.

[00:42:40]Hello Jeff.

[00:43:06]Okay, Stellina is focusing.

[00:43:10]Let us celebrate that. It took all of uh what half an hour.

[00:43:18]Let's see if it succeeds in autofocusing.

[00:43:22]So we can get on to work.

[00:43:45]Let me see if we can convince Good evening, light bridge.

[00:44:07]We're going to try to see with all the latest changes filters.

[00:44:16]Nope.

[00:44:21]properties. Nope.

[00:44:30]Filters.

[00:44:32]We have noise suppression.

[00:44:45]Hi, CGD.

[00:44:52]Ha!

[00:45:17]Stelina knows that the target is too close to the moon.

[00:45:34]If it cannot find it, we'll move over to 24p.

[00:46:21]I enlarged the image of NGC 5906 to see if we can see the supernova.

[00:46:31]Otherwise, the plan is to go at it with Stelina once we're done with the 29p.

[00:46:47]Okay. Good evening everyone. Thank you for joining us tonight.

[00:46:51]I've been off for a few days, several days.

[00:46:59]down in Virginia visiting grandchildren and running the Blueridge Half Marathon.

[00:47:07]And then we pulled a stunt that we had not done before, namely let the Tesla drive me back home.

[00:47:15]It was a 570 milei trip during which I did not touch the steering wheel, the brake or the accelerator pedal.

[00:47:29]It drove me the entire way.

[00:47:32]Observation failed. Okay. Too close to the moon. Let's go somewhere else then.

[00:47:51]HTTP 401 is not authorized.

[00:47:55]I'm glad to hear that.

[00:48:00]So, the full self drive on uh Tesla has improved dramatically.

[00:48:07]It even identified which uh charger stations were down and it pulled back into one that was up.

[00:48:28]Yeah, Bill. When I searched for it, they said that 5907 is the same as 5906 knife edge galaxy.

[00:49:10]That's what the internet says. If it's on the internet, it must be true.

[00:49:18]We will soon find out.

[00:49:32]Uh, Stelina is looking at comet 20 24p swast man.

[00:49:57]And it found a Starlink. That's a good start.

[00:50:12]Okay, I'm going to go to Stellarium and see if we can find 24p and see if we can find the star pattern.

[00:51:23]I'm going to let Stelina capture about 5 minutes or or 10 minutes. We'll see if it it will see anything.

[00:51:32]The depending whom you ask it says magnitude 15.

[00:51:43]So we may or we may not see it tonight.

[00:51:45]Otherwise we will hop over to 5907.

[00:52:38]The ISS is not going to be visible tonight or Dangong.

[00:53:16]bill. According to Gemini, NGC 5907 refers to the entire galaxy while 5906 refers to the western portion of the same galaxy.

[00:53:42]So dwarf may or may not show us what we are looking for.

[00:54:06]Oh my god.

[00:54:41]Yeah, I'm looking at the p the picture that Bill sent me and uh The orientation is different but uh yeah I see where the it should be appearing somewhere around here.

[00:55:24]Good evening. Toast.

[00:55:50]The good news is the Big Dipper is visible on the sky cam and it is pointing to the North Star.

[00:56:56]I'm going to note the time so I can go back and listen to that tick tick tick.

[00:57:05]We're talking about uh 9:06ish 9:07.

[00:57:30]You are correct to the stars have moved since we last saw you.

[00:57:40]Actually, it's the Earth moving. The stars are fixed.

[00:58:00]Don't know what it is toast.

[00:58:03]I had initially suspected Starlink but if it's happening now then it is not Starlink because I turned turned off Starlink.

[00:58:24]I'm going to try something. I'm going to turn off my microphone and let me know if you still hear that Noise.

[00:59:48]So we know it's microphone related and not Starlink related.

[01:00:05]We shall turn off noise suppression and see what happens.

[01:00:15]We suppressed noise suppression.

[01:00:54]So, we'll put the noise suppression back on.

[01:00:57]That was easy.

[01:01:40]We will I have to explore the reasons.

[01:02:08]I'm going to try to uh to push the volume down all across and see if that helps.

[01:02:26]I tried putting a 12 dB filter This is the old Stelita.

[01:02:44]I've had her for 5 years.

[01:02:48]That's why I wanted to take her out and see uh how well it does.

[01:02:57]It's not doing too well stacking. that only stacked 40 frames since uh 8:35 or so. 853 Yes, Star T is off.

[01:03:35]We will uh do some due diligence tomorrow to find out what's going on.

[01:03:47]In the meantime, I'm not able to see any evidence of a comet.

[01:04:00]Promised to give it 10 minutes. We'll give it 10 minutes and then we'll move on to to go chase the the supernova on Stellino.

[01:04:36]Yeah, I got Selena at the height of uh the COVID isolation.

[01:05:09]All right.

[01:05:21]This is new in the app. Uh I updated the Stelina app today.

[01:05:38]Remember T corona boreales?

[01:05:59]Where is it?

[01:06:20]DCB is visible.

[01:06:23]Let's pay it a visit.

[01:06:53]Okay, Stelina is looking funky. This is beautiful.

[01:08:12]Yeah, this is the brand new app on Uh what's play and jump to image Okay, this is the star in the middle of the galaxy.

[01:09:03]Let's see how much detail we get.

[01:09:08]Oh no, that's corona. That's TCRB.

[01:09:10]Sorry, my bad.

[01:09:23]Hi genie.

[01:09:47]Okay, this has not gone over.

[01:10:00]Where is the moon right now?

[01:11:06]My big regret is that uh Vionis did not produce and sell Hyperia cuz I was considering getting one.

[01:11:26]The club could have used it.

[01:11:34]We're going for the moon to see what Stelina can do with the moon and then uh switching to the supernova.

[01:11:47]See if we can see it.

[01:11:51]I don't know why they added this extra click here.

[01:12:16]Yeah, Genie, it is Stellina.

[01:12:19]I remember reading a review before I ordered Stellina of a NASA engineer who said that Stelina has in it built in everything that he ever put in a NASA observatory.

[01:12:39]Now, Stelina remains the only telescope on the market where the sensor rotates.

[01:12:48]The telescope itself is an out but uh the sensor in it rotates to eliminate uh field rotation.

[01:13:03]It was also the first instrument with a heater built in.

[01:13:16]And there is the moon.

[01:14:35]Well, I'm glad the noise is gone.

[01:14:39]I added a 12 dB filter. Looks like it may have helped.

[01:15:07]Let us see if we can find the supernova on Stellina.

[01:15:54]Bill, uh, the atlas on Stelina does not have it, so we're going to need to enter it manually.

[01:16:34]Can someone double check with me we have the right coordinates please as I type them in 15 hours 15 minutes.

[01:17:02]It says 56 seconds and declination 56° 19 minutes 37 seconds.

[01:17:26]Double checking. 15 155 56 56 1937 Good night, Peter.

[01:19:22]Thanks, build. Yeah, I I saw the reference earlier. It's 2026 SN or Yeah, SN kid.

[01:20:15]Okay, we have a galaxy in there.

[01:20:22]And believe it or not, I see the supernova.

[01:20:33]Ladies and gentlemen, we appear to be in business.

[01:20:47]It is flipped around by uh 180° from dwarf.

[01:21:14]The cluster of bright stars to the left of dwarf, sorry, to the left of the galaxy on dwarf appear to be to the right of the galaxy on Stellina.

[01:21:30]No, I see it on Stelina.

[01:21:39]It's probably my imagination, but she sure Yeah, we'll let it stack. There's no hurry. Dwarf is not going to get any better. 146 frames stacked.

[01:23:04]Don't talk to me about coffee, genie.

[01:23:06]I'm very tempted to go grab a cup.

[01:24:18]Want to go grab sombrero.

[01:25:07]Genie, we still have the word snow in our forecast for next week.

[01:25:14]How far is this galaxy?

[01:25:37]about 50 million light years away.

[01:25:54]Thanks, Bill.

[01:27:28]I pinch zoomed onto the galaxy.

[01:27:44]Both displays are currently pinch zoomed.

[01:30:22]Let me see if I can rotate it.

[01:30:34]Okay, I'm going to sneak it back in.

[01:31:13]Bill, that's the image that you sent me.

[01:31:17]We're going to try to see if we can see enough of it.

[01:31:38]So, we have the brightness in the middle, which is here, and then the dark stretch, another bright stretch.

[01:31:57]And right at the edge of the bridge stretch, we're looking at somewhere around here.

[01:34:19]Mhm.

[01:39:13]Yeah, I plan to let it stack another 15 minutes, make it half hour.

[01:39:28]I'd like to see Those stars out there on here, they're starting to show.

[01:39:48]I'm curious what magnitude we're able to see on uh Stelina.

[01:39:57]For example, this blue star here.

[01:40:01]should be able to pull up which Stellarium is going to show me.

[01:42:00]We're able to see stars better than 16 magnitude right now on Stelino.

[01:42:37]Yeah, 1632 is definitely visible.

[01:43:05]Okay, I'm able to see a 17.7 magnitude star on Stellina right now.

[01:43:45]You're definitely able to see 17 magnitude stars.

[01:44:00]Hi, Mike.

[01:44:13]Stelina has a 3 in aperture.

[01:44:17]So that's a lot more glass than dwarf 3.

[01:44:54]I think dwarf 3 is 35 mm.

[01:45:15]Yes. 35 mm versus 85.

[01:45:20]So you take the square.

[01:45:35]Six times. Six times more glass.

[01:45:45]Plus the sensor uh screen is 6 megapixels.

[01:45:56]Back then 6 megapixel was a lot.

[01:46:03]Yes, glass has its privileges. You bet.

[01:46:20]Yeah, we're definitely seeing the supernova.

[01:46:23]It's there.

[01:46:31]Thanks for pointing it, Bill.

[01:46:47]in the meantime. Dwarf is uh happily imaging Sombrero.

[01:46:55]When we are done with the supernova, we're going to hop over to Sombrero also.

[01:47:26]My main objective tonight was to see if I can still use Stelina. You know, uh the evening started early with uh upgrading, updating the app, verifying that the firmware was good, charging the batteries, and uh waiting for the sun to set.

[01:47:56]I do not plan to stay up too late tonight because of things going on early tomorrow. However, there is a good chance we'll go live tomorrow night with another assortment of telescopes.

[01:48:18]With the supernova in sight, we may want to apply more glass like an 11 in which will give us another 13 times more glass than uh Stelina, which will be 80 times more glass than uh Dwarf 3 or Sea Star.

[01:49:06]So, the weather forecast for tomorrow looks good.

[01:50:39]station identification. This is the Pompy Observatory.

[01:50:44]It is 1000 p.m. here Eastern time.

[01:50:49]If you're joining us for the first time, please subscribe.

[01:50:56]We will be going live again tomorrow.

[01:51:55]Good night.

[01:52:33]right now. Atomospheric says there's a good chance we'll have a clear night tomorrow night. We'll keep fingers crossed.

[01:52:54]I'll be on for another hour tonight. Not going to uh waste a clear night. Completely clear.

[01:53:44]Bill uh confirming that the magnitude of this supernova is 16.6. Six.

[01:54:47]The SN 2026 FOV as in field of view is an NGC7292.

[01:55:24]This is funny.

[01:55:26]Uh, according to the sky tonight.

[01:55:47]We need 6 in or more telescope to see it.

[01:55:58]Hello cool cat.

[01:56:07]I was saying that there is a another supernova in NGC 7292 with a magnitude of 13 that could be visible, but it's below the horizon right now.

[01:56:30]So that's a nogo.

[01:56:39]And then there is SN 2026 KMZ with no host galaxy. That's interesting.

[01:57:22]Hey Genie, stop rubbing in the coffee.

[01:57:31]Enjoy your cup of coffee.

[01:58:21]Now we can tell Mr. Pinto that there is no NOVA in TC TCB.

[01:58:30]Now that TCB is back in season, we should pay it a visit every time we go live.

[01:59:08]Bill, don't know if you heard the news from London.

[01:59:13]The winner of the marathon, Sebastian Soul, ran it in 15930, became the first man in history to break two hours in a illegitimate Peace.

[02:01:09]Yeah, there was a 2011 in Boston last week or this week on Monday.

[02:01:24]I have finally decided to go metric by the way and by that I mean the times that I used to run in miles now I'm running them in Ks for example my 10 mile PR was 72 minutes and yesterday I ran 10k in 71 minutes.

[02:01:47]Uh the same was true with the half marathon.

[02:01:53]The time in which I ran a uh 13 mileer a few years back. I'm about I'm able now to run 13K in that time.

[02:02:04]So going metric has its uh its privileges also.

[02:02:12]No more five minute miles for me. It's 5 minute kilometers at best.

[02:02:19]Used to run 5 miles in under 35 minutes.

[02:02:22]Now I can barely break uh 35 minutes for 5k.

[02:02:34]Yes. Uh it is very flat. Berlin and uh Chicago and London are very very flat courses and they are loop courses so they count for records.

[02:03:10]Oh yeah, still running.

[02:03:12]We have to, Bill. We have no choice.

[02:03:17]As the saying goes, you don't stop running when you get old. You get old when you stop running.

[02:03:25]So, I'm doing both.

[02:03:29]Getting old and running.

[02:04:11]Right now, my next marathon, full marathon is going to be in September.

[02:04:15]September 6.

[02:04:18]Gives me 15, 16 weeks to get really ready for it.

[02:04:29]Thanks, Bill.

[02:04:38]There was I had a humbling experience at the start of the Blue Ridge half marathon. There was a a lady with a cane.

[02:04:51]She was older than me and she was going to be walking the half marathon literally with a cane because she had uh one knee that doesn't work anymore and she was going to cane it all the way 13.1 miles and she finished it.

[02:05:11]She's trying to do all 50 states walking a half marathon. She came from California all the way to Virginia to walk a half marathon with a cane on a cane.

[02:05:26]Hello, Edward.

[02:05:33]Good night, Gina.

[02:05:37]If the weather permits, we'll be live tomorrow.

[02:05:48]Edward, we're looking at uh Supernova 2026 kid right here.

[02:05:58]That is a picture taken by somebody else which we no longer need.

[02:06:03]Gone.

[02:07:23]Bill has been promoted to grandmaster.

[02:07:26]Congratulations, Bill.

[02:08:00]Now, despite the moon.

[02:08:03]We can definitely see Big Dipper, Jupiter, and its two neighbors.

[02:08:47]Gast and Pock Jupiter Pock Fox Caster and then Big Dipper and uh Polaris up there and rising from the northeast. East is Vega.

[02:09:32]Excuse me.

[02:10:35]All All right, that should do it.

[02:11:52]build a grandmaster. That's a in chess.

[02:11:56]There is a progression from uh novice players whatever the very good players are known as master and then international master and then grandmaster.

[02:12:12]Bobby Fischer was an international grandmaster and people who play at the highest levels are grandmasters and they use the designation GM before their names.

[02:12:31]So GM bill would have been very appropriate.

[02:12:35]Grandmaster I'm still struggling with uh getting that dual feed dish to work as intended.

[02:12:57]build. I finally found a way to uh get the second feed installed properly by using two uh rubber gaskets, one on each side of the dish, and that worked.

[02:13:18]I have not been successful in getting it to reflect properly. But yeah, we'll we'll be having a uh a first light sometime soon.

[02:13:38]Still have not rebuilt the demolished igloo.

[02:13:47]I see no point in rebuilding it the way it was once demolished. I have to find a way to make it a lot sturdier.

[02:15:14]Bill. Apparently, two runners went under two hours.

[02:15:21]Not just the winner, the second place finisher was under two hours as well.

[02:15:33]50 mph wind bell blew it and uh some of it ended up in the neighbor's yards. The telescope, the radiocope was blown away into the garden.

[02:15:57]Yeah, we had very very windy night and then I heard a very loud sound.

[02:16:03]Sounded like a tornado.

[02:16:05]turned out to be the whole thing was being uh dragged, yanked out of the wall and the tarp tarp was fastened very well to the PVC pipes. So, it just uh uh the roof was yanked off on the PVC pipes and then everything crashed on the radio telescope, smashed it into the ground and then the whole thing was picked up and flown into the yard.

[02:16:46]No, not beyond repair. uh reassembled everything, but uh I don't see the point of doing it exactly the way it was when it blew up.

[02:16:58]I will probably use uh some hard glue so that the eight pieces uh plus the four sides will all be glued together solidly. So, at least the cube will be a solid piece. And then I have to find a way to fasten the tarp uh to the deck to the patio so that uh it will not uh move the telescope.

[02:17:37]I'd like to upgrade from 50 mile to about 80 miles which we are unlikely to get.

[02:18:17]Now the surprising thing is uh my um sky shed pod did not move.

[02:18:28]That thing is built well.

[02:18:31]They tested it by putting it on a on the bed of a truck and driving it at high speed across Canada to make sure it doesn't move. It did not move.

[02:19:08]Now, can you imagine running a marathon in 1 hour 59 minutes and 41 seconds and losing the second place finisher ran the marathon in under two hours.

[02:19:30]So, both number one and number two went under two hours. 11 seconds apart.

[02:19:42]No, we did not get any shots of the i3 interstellar visitor.

[02:20:16]Bill, it's a plane.

[02:20:31]Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you Supernova 2026 KID.

[02:20:39]It's very evident now.

[02:20:43]So, we're going to see if we can play it back. This is something Stelina does that others do not do.

[02:20:56]Not happy. Let's try again.

[02:21:16]Okay. No joy.

[02:21:44]Is uh Messia 104 still visible to us?

[02:22:10]Uh, maybe Bill, the first six finishers were all under 204.

[02:23:29]The results were 159, 159, 2 hours, 2011, 202, 203, and then 205, 205, 206, 206, 206, 206, 206.

[02:23:54]That is a deep field.

[02:23:59]When the 19th finisher was at 210.

[02:24:37]I don't know if you heard uh Chelsea Clinton ran the Boston Marathon in 3 hours and 40 minutes.

[02:24:48]340.

[02:24:52]Nothing short of incredible.

[02:24:56]What's going on here?

[02:25:39]Oh, there we go.

[02:25:54]This is going to be our last target of the night. I'm going to give it uh a good 20 minutes to half an hour to look good.

[02:26:14]Yeah. Uh yeah, Chelsea is no longer a kid. I think she's mid-40s.

[02:26:20]Uh well, at any age 40 is outstanding, but for a woman in her mid-40s, that's nothing short of amazing.

[02:27:15]They were wearing Adidas Adero Adidas Pro Evo Please.

[02:27:54]No, that is the the first man and the first woman Let me see if they give us the runner up.

[02:28:36]Well, apparently, yep, the runner up also wore the same shoe.

[02:29:24]That is the shoe, not the runner.

[02:29:28]Actually, I'll be surprised if the runner weighs more than 97 lbs.

[02:31:46]Jeff, that's almost as much as the shoe that uh the winner of the Boston Marathon wore.

[02:31:54]Apparently, those shoes retail for £450.

[02:32:09]Not a bad investment. 450 and then he won uh £760,000.

[02:36:49]Yeah, they stopped making the S50 Genie. Those of us who have an S50 are lucky in that sense.

[02:40:34]Genie, right now you have the best of uh automatic telescopes.

[02:40:39]I don't know that there is anything that I would recommend.

[02:40:44]Actually, there is nothing that I would buy.

[02:40:53]Sea Star. The S50 is uh probably by far the most advanced. Even though they have the smaller sensor, it has the larger lens and glass has its privileges. I wouldn't want to go from two from 50 cm down to 30.

[02:42:17]I'm going to give dwarf a chance to make the image look pretty.

[02:43:16]What happened?

[02:43:19]Okay. Dwarf app crashed.

[02:43:23]Not good.

[02:43:43]All right, time to retire the dwarf for the night.

[02:44:23]Those that could be an interesting experiment.

[02:45:17]As you may have noticed, the humming sound is gone.

[02:45:57]Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining me tonight.

[02:46:01]Weather permitting, we'll be back tomorrow. Otherwise, I wish you a good start of the week and we'll catch you soon. I hope.

[02:46:34]Heat. Heat.

[02:46:50]Heat.

[02:47:11]Heat.

[02:47:27]Heat.
