    Well...perfect timing. We just completed a week long look at various astronomy and astrophotography gear.

    Check it out here on RainyDayScience:

    And a $500 camera, and a $2000 telescope, right? Because it needs to be a good, steady equatorial mount, with a good motor, and a good telescope for astrophotography, which is often an expensive refractor.

    @MacAttack7388: This guy used a $9000 camera.... Wonder how much his telescope was?
    And who adds the colours because his is a B&W camera from the model number...

    @Blakamin: color is created by taking 3 separate series of images using RGB filters. They use B&W CCD so every pixel is capturing info...unlike a one-shot color CCD.

    Astrophotography is pretty straightforward if you've got the right equipment, but it does take a LOT of patience.

    @magus-21: Compensating for the variables is not all that straightforward. Air, gear, and heat movement are all image killer.

    This soup we call the universe is so beautiful that words to describe it accurarely simply dont exist, or at least I dont know them.

    ??? 114 minute exposure?
    Do you have to readjust the camera for that? I mean, the earth rotation should mess up your image with that length of exposure....

    @JohnS1111: I was curious about that as well. I've seen videos where they shot the camera at the sky with a long exposure time and the stars grew big trails of light fairly quickly.

    @JohnS1111:
    Astrophotographers use mounts called equatorial mounts which rotate parallel to the equator (hence the name). This prevents field rotation, and allows tracking of any one particular object. The exposures also aren't actually 114 minutes, but rather they are 1 to 10 minute exposures that are stacked in software.

    Not to tell you guys how to do your job, but seriously, would it be possible to have Arran Hill do a guest story on how he makes these amazing images, tips for starters, how he got into astrophotography, etc.?

    His work is astonishing. Especially Galaxies in Ursa Major. It's awe-inspiring.

    For every person who gripes about Gizmodo's choice of content, stuff like this is really just phenomenal. This is the stuff of science. Mr. Hill's site has some more of his work (not much). But I'd really like to know more about this gentleman who is helping enrich the world of science through his generous volunteerism.

    He really seems a 21st Century Galileo.

    Oh wow, a post about beer. I really like beer, even if it comes out of something related to Apple. I just won't tell me friends about it. Oh wait, I don't have friends. This will suit me just fine.

    Awww... the CO2 level "app" and Thermometer "app" appear to be just graphics.... they couldn't make these things real?

    The paintjob/graphics is the real kicker - I mean everyone knows someone or at least a friend of a friend with a kegerator.

    (downer alert) 10-15yo fridges cost between 150 to 200 per year in electricity... Also, keg would need to be in a 37 degree refirgerator for roughly 4 days before the liquid drops to the same temperature.

    @jcsimms: IIRC, that 's mostly due to the freezer which I assume is turned off her. Also, the beer usually comes cold, so it wouldn't take that long to drop back down to 37.

    @GitEmSteveDave_Galactica1980: then my local brewers are just cheap... on the cost factor (est 650W/$0.10-MWh/8hrs-day) I doubt the thermodynamic metal conduit is very helpful. (the horse is dead...)
