Stock exchange : Hours in opposite hemisphere


LaCebra

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

1/ Some members in this forum live in the southern hemisphere.

In some discussions, they write that some objects are not visible for them (too much in the North)

 

2/ Some members live in the north hemisphere.

They say the same thing, but in the South.

 

3/ Some members automated totally their observatory/setup to benefit from a good quality sky in some hundred km from their home.

It is expensive.

 

4/ Some people, as us European, set two weeks of their holidays in the other hemisphere (Namibia for us), to make subframes there.

It is expensive.

 

5/ Thanks to internet it is as well easy to pilot its telescope in 1 km, as an other one in 20.000km

It is free.

 

6/ It could be very exciting to photograph objects that we know only as legends.

But what we can never know otherwise of its life, that as a legend.

 

7/ Numerous configurations consist of DDM60 - DDM85 + ASA 10N - ASA 12N

The software are different, sometimes.

 

8/ How do you imagine a "stock exchange" of hours of photography, between opposite hemispheres?

 

To share it's to grow rich.

The first one who corrects english of this message can send me it in private message, and indicating this below. (A single correction should be enough for me :D )

I shall replace it here. (I don't know how to do better :rolleyes: )

So, we shall already double the number of readers having understood this subject :lol:

Hi there,

 

good point! It could indeed be an interesting endeavour to exchange imaging hours. I guess that this would make mostly sense for those among us who have an automated setup. There should be some free/open source software around to organize something like this. I have no idea, however, how many could or want to cooperate in such an effort - my experience is that most people want to get the data but won't return anything...

Yes, absolutely!

 

To move forward in a project:

1/ Put aside all constraints, difficulties, negative points (temporarily)

2/ Dedicate itself only to the advantages;

3/ Indeed, advantages cannot be invented!

4/ There is not enough advantages stop the project!

5/ If the advantages are rewarding, being enough for justifying the effort: list the constraints (only now)

6/ The constraints can beings by-passed (by an organization), while the advantages cannot be invented.

7/ Is the organization, to by-pass the constraints, justified with regard to the advantages?

8/ If not. Stop the project.

9/ If yes: Get to work!

 

At present, it is necessary to get ready mentally to accept the point 1 (the more difficult in all projects J).

Then, put down in writing elements of the point 2.

 

The point 3 is a report.

 

At the moment, useless to go farther: the advantages at first!

 

To you to say...

 

The first advantages that I can bring:

- I save 6 k€ by not going in Namibia during two weeks.

- I save up a 75€ / hour of rent of a good quality distant telescope.

 

Remark : I don't have an automated setup. This project is for you…
