My main question is this(All my questions regard the MacOS Catalina versions of the applications in question), Why does Skysafari 6 Pro only cost a fraction of what starry night 8 Pro plus costs? in what is starry night 8 superior to SkySafari 6 Pro or is that even not the case? i dont have a telescope nor do i plan on getting one, i want to purchase an app where i can explore the universe and spark my curiosity,I'd like to See the planets, moins in 3D in great detail and go around them to explore their shape etc, Which app of the two has the best planet models, Planet Surface Models etc? Is SkySafari 6 able to zoom out to laniakea?
As to Starry Night 8 goes, is it possible to download all available content to the harddrive so that Starry Night 8 can be used offline entirely by itself and not rely on an internet connection? it is a massive turn off that the content of the universe is downloaded from the Cloud in starry night 8 as you explore it and doesn't contain all the data on the harddrive from what i understand and doesn't even provide an option to download (i understand its a large file size that is several gigs in size but that would be very well worth downloading as opposed to having the app rely on an internet connection continuously streaming), The Lessons and 3D Demonstrations in starry night 8 are entirely internet dependent as well it seems
Thanks for your quick response. Largely I have been happy with DPP 4, and mostly I find I am using the sliders for sharpness, saturation, etc., although I have started using the histogram and curve to get rid of some shadows and clipping. I am wondering about moving up mostly because I sometimes want more control over a segment of a picture. I'd love the sky to be a bit bluer without adding blue to the bird's breast that I am shooting, and I have just taken some pictures of starry nights and I have tried stacking but no success yet (I used the free deepskystacker software which sort of works but DPP 4 was inconsistent it seems in its ability to work with TIFF files). I have had my Rebel T4i for probably 6 years but it is just in the last few months (I had to take a few months off work for a medical reason and there was the camera) that I got off the automatic functions and started taking a lot of shots. Hope that helps a bit.

This West Virginia native is all about living for the moment. On TikTok, where her followers know her as thegreatnosilla, Alli shares girl-friendly camping accessories for a safer tent stay and her go-to blanket for keeping warm under the starry night sky.
The digital photomontage boasts thousands of shots of planets, galaxies, nebulas, clusters of celestial bodies, and bursting stars. Parker downloaded the Top 100 images taken by Hubble and decided to create a mosaic with said images right around the 22nd anniversary of the space telescope. It seems incredibly fitting for the classic painting that is kind of like an artistic and archaic document of the night sky to be reconfigured with these visually astounding photographs of space.

In 2009 Elisa, a student of Physics and Advanced Technologies, could not access the dome of the University of Siena Astronomical Observatory because she is forced on a wheelchair by disability. "Advanced technologies" helped her, though. Between 2010 and 2012 the Observatory instrumentation was completely updated, but, most importantly, was fully automated, and made remotely controllable trough an Internet connection.Since 2012 the Observatory is a laboratory where university and high-school students learn to study the starry sky and how to use the most recent instruments and technologies for astronomical image acquisition and analysis. Through this acquired knowledge, small projects focused on asteroids, variable stars and extrasolar planets research can be conducted by a wide range of students, academic organizations and enthusiast citizens.In August 2015, Sara Marullo, a student in Physics and Advanced Technologies at the University of Siena who lived very far from the observatory, managed to conduct a series of observations, required by her internship, from her home. During an asteroid study session, in a case of perfect serendipity, she discovered a peculiar binary star. A few months later, that discovery of a new double star became the topic of her thesis and of an article published in the Journal of the American Association of Variable Star Observers.A famous Italian newspaper writes about the binary star discovered by Sara Marullo, and titles: "I discovered a star from my living room".Thanks to the automation implemented ten years ago, it has been possible to face the last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic without interrupting teaching, research, and scientific dissemination activities. University students were able to perform remote imaging sessions for their internships, while high school students participated remotely in astrophysics orientation projects.In April 2020, Leonella Filippa Saya, another student of the course in Physics, although in full pandemic lockdown, was able to finish her university internship and discuss her thesis on the photometric study and 3D modeling of the asteroid (118) Peitho. Her thesis allowed her to appear as the author of an article published in the Minor Planet Bulletin.Leonella Filippa Saya discussing her thesis online during the pandemic lockdown.Many high school students were able to participate remotely in the university guidance course offered by the observatory, entitled "Hunting for ancient photons, astronomy in the digital age".An image of the Great Orion Nebula captured in February 2021 by the students of Liceo "Sarrocchi" in Siena and Liceo "Galilei" in Erba (Como) via remote operation of the telescope from their homes.Worthy of note is a group of fifteen students from the Liceo "Galilei" in Erba (Como), in Northern Italy, who in June 2020 remotely attended some observing sessions of the asteroid (58) Concordia, and actively participated in data analysis. For their efforts, their names were mentioned in the acknowledgments on a scientific article published in the Minor Planet Bulletin.The article published in the Minor Planet Bulletin with the acknowledgments to the students of Liceo "Galilei" in Erba (Como)A Como newspaper writes about the guidance project in astrophysics carried out by the students of Liceo "Galilei".During the entire lockdown period it was also possible to offer many live shows on the observatory's social profiles; these dissemination activities allowed thousands of connected citizens to follow the Observatory's scientific research, and stimulated them to observe the starry sky from their own windows or gardens. Many of these online initiatives have been organized for particular events such as the arrival of a comet, the close passage of an asteroid, or the super-moon.One of the most followed live shows, with over 60,000 views on YouTube and Facebook, was the one organized for the spectacular Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21, 2020. The live show carried out for the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21, 2020.While we are fully aware of how much more engaging the physical presence of students and researchers is, since it allows greater empathy between teachers and students or between researchers and the public, the pandemic has forced the astronomical observatory to successfully continue its activities in its purest form, as an instrument: an example of how a serious problem can be transformed into an opportunity thanks to the technology developed over the years.
FLORENCE, Ala. - The University of North Alabama Department of Communication's concentration in film and digital media production is in only its fifth year of existence, but its recent high rankings prove it to be off to a phenomenal start. In an international survey by Reelshow International online magazine released earlier this week, UNA is ranked No. 1 of the list of Top Ten Film Schools of 2012.
Reelshow magazine is an online common ground for film enthusiasts that promotes film submissions from undergraduate and graduate film students. This year's survey is the fifth released by Reelshow, but the first to recognize UNA.
"We're just concentrating on doing good work," said Jason Flynn, an assistant professor at UNA. "We're interested in making a good program for our students and finding good students to be a part of our program."
Flynn was selected by Reelshow in 2011 as Film Mentor of the Year.
