    OF course it's shitty but how is that different from any person being ripped off it doesn't just happen to females all of science history is filled with someone ripping off someone else taking the credit for someone else's work.
    I bet it's happening to someone right now a techie or a junior person somewhere discovers something and the boss or a colleague takes the credit.
    The challenge for modern science now is credit people where credit is due
    eliminate the fraudsters and credit the people who did the work.
    If the historical record is wrong change it.
    you won't get rid of centuries of discrimination unless the changes are made.

    even these days you are probably right.
    All I'm saying If the historical record is proven to be factually  wrong it should be changed to give credit where credit is due.

    I've had people take credit or pretend they have done my work just to get a sale and not all of them were men. it's very annoying.

Adventures in Astrophotography Post-Processing

Image
 These days I do most of my blog-type posting on aus.social, a Mastodon instance. Sometimes though the limited formatting makes that a poor choice. This is one such case. Today I want to take you through the post-processing steps I go through to create a final astrophotographic artwork. And these are artworks, not scientific records. I could  use the same data to perform astrometric observations, but I don't. I like to create beautiful images. Knowing the things I am creating pictures of is part of creating that beauty, and that does require some scientific knowledge, but it is only a means to an end.  So, let's start with what comes out of my telescope. I use either a DwarfII or Dwarf3 smart telescope for my imaging, and what comes out of that is already pre-processed in a variety of ways. The telescope does its own stacking, and has a built-in link to a cloud post processor. So what I get is two images - one denoised and with basic image optimisations performed, and ano...

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
