00:43:54 Yvonne: Welcome Raj and family! 00:44:53 Yvonne: Welcome Stephen! 00:47:17 Michael Connelly: Thank YOU Phil!!! 00:47:42 Krystal Rolon (GCS): Thank you Phil!! 00:47:42 Stephen Pribut: Thanks. Nice to be here. I’ll be traveling north from Rockville :-). Thanks to past and future leaders! 00:48:05 Raj: Reacted to "Welcome Raj and fami..." with ❤️ 00:48:18 Kenneth Sall: Thank you for your 3 years of leadership, Phil! 00:48:19 John: Thank you so much for all the dedication, great ideas and fun you have lead us with these past 3 years! -Cheryl 00:48:29 Steve Berte: Phil, Thanks so much for your dedication and service to HAL. You have made a difference and we really appreciate you. 00:48:48 Atul: Thank you Phil! 00:49:51 Jared's iPhone: We will miss you Phil, thank you so much for your leadership!! 00:49:53 Arjun Sundar: Thank you so much Mr. Phil, you have been a really great president and we all appreciate the hard work you have put in. You took this club very sirius-ly. 01:00:15 Krystal Rolon (GCS): The US loves to use anything but the metric system 01:01:40 Wayne: Technical specs for many (all?) NASA programs are metric. Public affairs people talk to their audience, largely Americans, so they of course use imperial units. 01:02:03 Krystal Rolon (GCS): I thought the rhino comparison was funny 01:02:12 Duane Dehnert: ha, the craft is the size of a dishwasher, a bus, a football field 01:02:38 John Nagy: Correct, everything is METRIC on a mission. If you want to have something in a non-metric unit you have to write a waiver. 01:02:45 Phil Whitebloom: Thanks Everyone! 01:04:18 Steve Royal: I remember when they decided to stay Imperial opposed to Metric. We were too lazy to learn the conversion. 60'-70's 01:12:24 Ernie Wright: Visualizations created by my colleague Kel Elkins. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4613 01:15:43 Ernie Wright: Actually this one: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4430 01:16:56 Bob Dutilly: when the satellite is always at the same point on earth it is called a geostationary orbit 01:20:23 Duane Dehnert: How can I tell my mom HARPP isn't controlling the weather? 01:21:19 Jim Johnson: From Jim to Duane: You can't. 🙂 01:26:39 Michael Connelly: is there a global organization that plays traffic cop to agree what locations each satellite gets to use and help prevent conflicts between countries? 01:31:51 Kenneth Sall: Ted's previous presentation on JPSS from 2021 is here: https://howardastro.org/archives/2021/2021meetings.php 01:41:34 John Nagy: Given an opportunity, the s/c design will always favor at least one outward facing solar array. 01:43:27 John Nagy: It's not always possible but it's a game saver when something happens like it did with JPSS-2. 01:54:10 Raj: Thank you Ted 01:54:16 Yvonne: Thank you, Ted!! 01:55:35 Krystal Rolon (GCS): Yay astro school! Looking forward to it 01:57:16 Michael Connelly: will astro school have any zoom offerings? 02:01:09 Victor Sanchez: https://www.laserfocusworld.com/detectors-imaging/article/14233175/the-evolution-of-ir-imaging-whats-next 02:02:28 Victor Sanchez: indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) and some of the longer wavelength detectors use mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) 02:04:00 Wayne: Actually, the near-IR uses mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) detectors. All of the JWST near-IR detectors are of that type . 02:04:05 Duane Dehnert: Wow and it looks like the same artist 02:04:25 Arjun Sundar: Same pallete, I guess (SHO) 02:04:26 Jim Johnson: I think that the captions are reversed on the first object of the month slide. 02:05:42 Michael Connelly: the discord group is awesome when imaging too, there is always someone willing to help when working problems or just questions 02:08:08 Raj: How does one get an invite to the discord group ? Thx! 02:09:51 MP: @Raj link for the discord is here: https://www.howardastro.org/discord/ 02:10:00 Jim Tomney: Great shot Greg! 02:10:41 Raj: Reacted to "@Raj link for the di..." with 👍🏼 02:10:51 Greg D: Reacted to "Great shot Greg!" with 👍 02:13:58 Michael Connelly: VideoCam 02:15:30 Michael Connelly: Will be in Hawaii next month and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for something to spot if i take my spotting scope or just use my iPhone. will be in oahu 02:19:47 Jim Tomney: Beautiful work John 👍 02:19:59 Arjun Sundar: Great work, I really liked the trifid. 02:25:01 John Nagy: Victor... Bortle 3 is cheating!! I wouldn't need 25 hours if I could do some of my projects from B3. 02:25:15 John Nagy: Great image! 02:25:30 Joel Goodman: Beautiful deep field, Victor! 02:25:38 Greg D: Reacted to "Victor... Bortle 3 i..." with 🤣 02:27:02 Grace Coventry: Happy to help. 02:28:25 Arjun Sundar: Horsehead is always challenging 02:28:48 John Nagy: The good news Ken is that you can overcome the noise with more exposures and/or more time! 02:32:48 Kenneth Sall: @John N- Thanks for the tip. 02:38:17 Dave Zolet: Thanks Phil! 02:38:43 Brad Martin: Thanks for everything phil! 02:39:17 Raj: Thank you everyone !
