    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.

    But it happens more to women.

    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.

Using a Solarcan Puck at lower lattitudes

Image
 The Solarcan Puck is a great little reusable solargraphy camera. It has a relatively wide aperture (f/90), so it can create  a decent image in a single day.  The limitation is that it has (for a camera of this type) a relatively narrow field of view - about 120 degrees.  This means that if you have it mounted vertically, you are going to be able to record angles up to 60 degrees above the horizon. This is fine if you are above about 50 degrees latitude. At about 50 degrees, the sun will never be higher than about 60 degrees above the horizon. Why that value? Probably because of where Solarcan are based:  in Scotland.  What do the the rest of the world have to do then? You can restrict yourself to winter months - but that is not much fun.  The other alternative is to angle your Puck upwards. But how far?  In the worst case, on the Equator, the sun will be directly overhead at Solstice. This means that the Puck will have to be angled upwards at least 30 degrees - but this would mean tha

Cyanotype In-Camera Imaging - Part 1

Image
Back in October last year, I picked up some "Solarprint" paper from an educational supply house that was having a sale. For some weeks I thought about what to do with it, and eventually decided that the usual path of making contact prints or photograms with it was a bit too dull, and that I would build a camera and take photos with it.  Now I am by no means the first person to do this - although the idea of producing cyanotype camera negatives is surprisingly recent. As far as I can tell, the first person to do it was photographer,  John Beaver, in 1999 - over 150 years after the development of the chemistry ! More recently, blogger Nag on the Lake published a how-to for cardboard cameras in 2019. Meanwhile, Ray Christopher has been experimenting with using cyanotype paper as a medium-format negative. The cyanotype process chemistry is rather unusual in that is not particularly sensitive to visible light. It is most sensitive to UVA down to the visible spectrum. One of the s
