Moss Piglets (Tardigrades), Ciliate (Suctoria), Nematodes and Rotifers (V.2)
Just two tiny samples of moss taken on our Sunday walk from Cuffley to Northaw shows an abundance of life under a microscope.

Celestron CGem DX Mount has stopped working HELP!

My CGem DX eq Mount has stopped working. Just the initial alignment. It is as if it thinks its located in Southern Hemisphere or something. It wont do an initial alignment without slewing into the ground, and I cannot do a proper alignment routine. But if I find, say, Jupiter, it tracks perfectly.

Mars at opposition, eclipsed by the Moon

At 05:00 on a beautifully clear morning, Mars disappears behind the full Moon. Recorded on the 8th December 2022. Coincidentally, Mars is at opposition, the closest it will be from the Earth for many years.

Rotifer, Tardigrade and Nemitode home microscopy
zhlédnutí 81Před 3 lety
Just found in a tiny bit of damp moss in my garden... 0.5mm Rotifers, Tardigrades, Nemitodes and an unidentified segmented worm, possibly an insect larvae? Look at the water current while the Rotifer feeds, the tiny crown of scilia appearing to spin, directing food into its body. What a fascinating invertibrate and very good reason to discourage kids from eating moss! Magnification about x300. ...

    What's frustrating is that no matter how many videos about science I watch, almost nothing sticks to my stupid brain. Like, say I read or watch a video about why the sky is blue. I can explain it well enough a few hours later. Fast forward 3 days, and I can't even remember the overall explanation, let alone the details :|

    To speak with cathartic eloquence of the sort which arouses interest in most, while defusing chauvinism of kinds one did not know to be extant. Carl's oration is presumably the best marriage by far, of science communication and poetic linguistics, ever known to life on earth.

    It is a privilege to have lived in the same time period Carl Sagan, he was passionate about science and sharing that passion with others. We will never see his like again. Even if there are highly intelligent people who are just as passionate about knowledge they will lack his stoic nature and objective honesty.

    Many thanks for your reply! Yes, I have tried a few things... The mount DOES always seem to know where Home Position is, and once a target has been found, seems to track perfectly. But the good news for me is that I think I might have sorted it this weekend. I just need a couple of clear nights to confirm - cloud-solving right now! I suspected the hand controller so took that apart and gave it a good clean, especially the contacts and rubber actuators. What (I think) made the biggest difference is removing the caps off the motors and cleaning behind the optical encoder wheels(?) and optical sensor with a fine cotton bud and Isopropyl. I am somewhat amazed that any level of accuracy can be achieved with these tiny plastic wheels mounted on these small motors, but there we are!

  • @zborkz
    @zborkz Před 5 měsíci

    You may have already tried this but.....Have you disengaged the clutches on both the RA and DEC, and send the command to park the mount? Then manual placed the mount into the parked position and then reengaged the clutches, then attempted to slew to a target? If that fails of failed, use ascom drivers and a program like NINA to try to control the mount directly bypassing the hand controller. Have you done any plate solving and compared the results to the hand controllers reported position? My initial reaction is the mount doesn't know where it's orientated to begin with.
