![]() To enhance your astronomical journey, we provide access to the Stellarium computer software for in-depth celestial navigation. In addition to the telescope, this comprehensive set includes an adjustable tripod for stable positioning, a convenient red dot viewfinder for precise targeting, and a cutting-edge Smartphone Camera Adapter for capturing celestial moments. ![]() The package is thoughtfully equipped with two premium Plossl eyepieces, ensuring the production of detailed and vivid celestial views. Introducing the National Geographic NT114CF 114mm Reflector Telescope, a distinguished member of our National Geographic series designed to elevate your deep sky observation experience.īoasting a substantial 114mm aperture and a versatile 500mm focal length, this telescope offers exceptional clarity and contrast in its imagery. For our testing pool, we did not venture into those with much larger 10-inch, 12-inch, or 14-plus-inch apertures they are often so big and unwieldy as to deter many people from getting their telescope out and using it as much as possible.National Geographic NT114CF 114mm f/4.4 Carbon Fiber Reflector - 80-30114 That said, larger apertures are more sensitive to heat currents and turbulent atmospheric conditions, and that can affect the image’s sharpness. A larger aperture will in fact collect more starlight in any scenario, allowing you to view fainter objects. Another concern: The “urban aperture” myth suggests that a larger-aperture telescope will collect excess light pollution in city environments, thus affecting performance. If you are viewing super-dark skies with the hope of seeing deep-sky objects like diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae, open clusters, globular clusters, and galaxies of the Messier catalog, the “bigger aperture equals better vision” maxim holds true. With this model, we easily spotted Saturn’s rings and Jupiter and its moons.Īs Mounsey stressed, the need for a bigger aperture depends on where you are viewing from and what you hope to see. The mirrors expand and collapse, making this model even more amenable to being stored indoors. Like our top pick, this Newtonian-style reflector telescope has a 5-inch mirror, but it’s designed to sit on a tabletop rather than on a tripod, so it works best if you have a picnic table or other support to set it on. So if you’re willing to put in the effort, you’ll become a smarter stargazer. With that in mind, some of our experts told us they preferred (and even advised) learning the ins and outs of astronomy on a manual telescope. (Unlike our top pick, this telescope won’t automatically find the specific celestial bodies you seek.) One reason you may not want a manual telescope: You have to collimate (align) the telescope’s mirrors, and if you aren’t aware this has to be done, it can be tedious or frustrating. If you don’t want an electronic GPS function, the Astronomers Without Borders OneSky Reflector Telescope offers the most scope for the money. So you should have no problem packing it into a trunk and setting it up on location. This scope weighs 15 pounds, making it very portable relative to other options out there. Unlike with some of the NexStar 5SE’s competitors, this controller worked flawlessly in our tests, offering micro adjustments and responsive tracking with the attached controller system. Instead of fumbling to read star charts and align the telescope manually, with the press of a button you can align and focus your telescope on a myriad of celestial objects. The NexStar 5SE operates on a fully computerized system and gives you a handheld controller to guide it. And it provides sufficient power to introduce you to objects in the deep sky. This telescope has a primary 5-inch mirror-big enough for a light-gathering capacity that yields crisp images of some of the best objects in our solar system, from Saturn’s rings to Jupiter’s cloud bands. ![]() The Celestron NexStar 5SE-our pick for the best amateur telescope-is a Schmidt-Cassegrain scope, which means it uses both lenses and mirrors in a relatively compact package.

![]() Years later, as a teacher in training, she learned from students that some of the material had been uploaded, and she was fired from the school.Īfter she tried to kill herself by jumping off a bridge over the Han River, her mother sought out Kim’s services, Kim said. Kim says he provides the deletion free of charge to teenagers who he knows aren’t able to pay for it themselves but don’t want to explain their situation to their parents.Īmong Kim’s clients was a schoolteacher who had a camera memory card containing explicit videos of her stolen while she was in college. “Your life will be over because of this you’ll be forced to live in hiding.” “I tell them, even if you take out a debt, you need to get it deleted,” he said. He said he tells potential customers the service is well worth the cost, especially in South Korea, where an explicit video could mean the end of a woman’s social or professional life. ![]() Kim Ho-jin, the owner and chief executive of one of the for-profit companies, charges about $1,760 a month for his around-the-clock deletion service. The problem has even created a cottage industry that provides 24/7 monitoring and scrubbing at a steep price. One of the videos was viewed or downloaded more than 400,000 times, according to the ministry. In the case of one woman who turned to the government support center for help, videos of her were uploaded more than 2,700 times over a period of six months. The hotline offers legal and psychological counseling, as well as services to scrub images and videos off the web. Since the South Korean government started a hotline for victims last April, more than 2,300 victims - over 90% of them women - have come forward asking for help, according to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. “It’s a culture that views women as an object of consumption,” said Lee Na-young, a feminist scholar and a sociology professor at Chung-Ang University in Seoul. ![]() The popularity of hidden-camera porn has also been attributed to a prevalent and deep-seated misogyny that views women not as equal sexual partners but as conquests. Ironically, that blanket restriction appears to encourage homemade sex videos and the black market for them, especially as the government has also strengthened enforcement of copyright laws, cracking down on illegal sharing of professionally produced pornography from Japan and the U.S. A 2015 survey found 85% of male college students in South Korea consumed porn - despite it being illegal. It’s difficult to gauge the full magnitude of the problem, because many of the sites frequently shut down and reopen under different names in order to dodge authorities. In an anonymous interview with a South Korean television news program last year, one man claimed he was making as much as $350,000 a year by uploading his cache of illegal pornography - millions of hours of video. Many videos are also distributed on file-sharing websites, which typically charge 10 Korean won, or about a cent, for every 100 megabytes of data. ![]() Some have been filmed on spy cams disguised in eyeglasses, pens or lighters - which have been sold at stores advertising them alongside Viagra.Ī police cybercrimes squad announced in recent weeks that it had arrested four people who had installed spy cams in dozens of hotel rooms and streamed the private moments of at least 1,600 guests on a website that charges $45 a month for a subscription. The illicit footage includes hidden-camera recordings and videos made consensually but distributed without agreement. ![]() Meanwhile, it has been speculated that Bahraini Viper’s first flight will be piloted by Monessa “Siren” Balzhiser, a former US Air Force F-16 pilot who became Lockheed Martin’s first female test pilot in 2021. As a result, the type may continue to be used until around 2060. Furthermore, the business has added more suppliers for specific components to fulfill current program needs and potential opportunities for expanded manufacturing.īlock 70 is being pitched to nations wishing to improve their existing F-16 inventories or are not interested in the more complex and stealthy F-35 fighter.īlock 70/72 also has a structural service life of 12,000 hours, nearly 50% longer than earlier F-16 models. New digital engineering technologies have been integrated into the production line to increase efficiency and minimize time. The spokesperson stated that although Lockheed Martin has toiled for four aircraft each month, “we are always evaluating and looking for ways to increase production to meet customer needs.” That plane was supposed to have capabilities similar to the F-16. The service also appears to have postponed plans to seek a program for a new multirole fighter, the MR-F or MR-X, that would be less sophisticated than the F-35. The US Air Force has indicated that it may keep up to 600 F-16s until the 2030s. In keeping with its “4+1” fighter roadmap, the US Air Force revealed last year that it intends to continue using the F-16 well into the 2030s, assuring prospective customers of a robust supply of parts and maintenance into the following ten years. The engine differentiates the Block 70 and Block 72 sub-variants, with the former having the General Electric F110 and the latter having the Pratt & Whitney F100. ![]() ![]() Part of a Lockheed Martin brochure marketing the F-16 Block 70 to the Indian government, showing critical components included in this configuration. The cutting-edge new-production jets feature updated mission computers, a new glass cockpit with new digital multi-function displays, a sophisticated electronic warfare suite for self-defense, new data links, and provisions for the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), among other improvements. The AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR), an active electronically scanned array type also being retrofitted to much older US Air Force Vipers, is a notable feature of new production Block 70/72. The advanced upgrade package Lockheed Martin built for older F-16 Vipers is the foundation for the Block 70/72 variant. He noted several nations asked for “detailed information and requests for government sales.” F-16 Block 70/72 Configuration Anthony Walker, senior materiel leader, international division, at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, said that FMS interest in the F-16 increased when Lockheed Martin decided to restart production at Greenville. Meanwhile, the company’s spokesperson said that in fiscal 2023, the pace of work on the Block 70s currently being built at Greenville would “increase significantly,” eventually leading to a manufacturing rate of up to four aircraft per month.Ĭol. ![]() Package is available to all guests when purchased at the selling price.

Extreme macro is particularly demanding, where it's not unusual to stack 5-1500 photos together for extreme sharpness. Affinity, Phase One, rival, if not exceed Photoshop (in my experience) but there are other programs designed for extreme macro shots like Zerene Stacker or Helicon Focus which should be in a class of their own. Aurora HDR has a different look which many prefer, Photomatix has phenomenal batch capability, Affinity, HDR Efex, and others each bring their own interpretation to the mix.ĭo you do focus stacking? Well there are a lot of programs that do this, and some extremely well. and both options come in Mac and Windows versions.ĭo you like high dynamic range (HDR) shots? Again, Adobe has this capability, but there are better programs out there. These days, I really like Hugin (free) and Affinity for much of my panorama work. I was a big fan of AutoPano Giga before that software was no longer supported. Perhaps you want stitch photos together into one giant panorama? Adobe's offerings work, but there are better offerings out there. I feel this is less photography and more digital artistry, but Adobe is a long way behind in some of these things. Skylum's "Luminar AI" can change the background entirely. If you're looking to do a lot of masking and layering work, Topaz Labs have some algorithms that not only can select the background through a bride's veil, you can clean it up or even replace the entire scene behind it easily. You can then tweak it in Photoshop or whatever alternative very easily afterwards. The non-Adobe software has more intuitive/powerful controls, and the photos just look better. ![]() DXO Photolab and Capture One frankly leaves Adobe's Camera Raw in the dust. If you use raw files extensively, there are better programs out there for processing them. so smaller companies, even open source projects can, through creative innnovation, collaboration, or specialisation, make something that makes your photos look better, and often at lower price than what Adobe charges. ![]() ![]() Every photographer has their "way" of processing photos, which means they place differing emphasis on differing tasks, and Adobe has taken the "shotgun approach" and tried cover everything. I've worked in the IT sector, and bureaucracy will always "get in the way".Īdobe apps are very good at many things, but their software is not necessarily the " best" at any particular editing task. It takes time to reallocate teams, and there's mis-communication between various departments. Adobe is a huge organisation now, and they suffer from a lot of corporate inertia. They develop the software in a way, that leaves smaller companies scrambling to catch up. It's powerful, its feature rich, it's of a professional standard, and it's undergoing constant development by a legion of professional coders hell-bent on making improvements and adding features. I have used Adobe successfully for well over a decade, and their entire range of software is popular for a reason. I don't want this to be an "Adobe bashing rant". While I will take a different approach with this article, I feel that the following article has great insight into the general "paid" software options: are popping up as many photographers, graphic designers, and creative types feel that Adobe isn't the ideal choice for them. Perhaps a "case in point" is the fact that sites like "Life after Photoshop" found here: Consequently, some photographers are searching for alternative solutions. However, Adobe's offerings come with complexity, cost, and even connectivity/privacy concerns. Photoshop has been around so long that the word is both a noun and a valid verb for fixing/faking photos in the English language. ![]() They've been around since the birth of digital image manipulation, and they've been aggressively developed ever since. Photoshop and Lightroom are bar none, the most popular photo editing apps out there.

She hadn't ever picked up a camera yet at this point, she thought she wanted to be a sculptor.Īlison Stewart: When did photography come into her life and what were her early goals as a photographer? She really just jumped into this bohemian world that she loved. After a year she dropped out of college and moved in with them in Greenwich Village and met everyone who was living down there, artists and poets and writers. What she did was met some other kids at college and they moved to New York City. She got a haircut called the Bob, which was really a sign of being a new kind of woman, a woman who's not going to stay home and take care of children and be a housewife, but someone who's going to go out and do something in the world. She said her first act of rebellion, which is right around the time she started, was to cut off her long hair. Mia: She went to college in Ohio to Ohio State University.
