You can also observe the movement of mercury and Venus, which you don't even need a telescope for. A theory is the highest you can go in science. A scientific theory is not the same as what average people mean when they say that word. Do atoms exist, Danny? What about microbes? Guess what, those are also "just theories". Yes, the earth's atmosphere rotates with the earth. What exactly does the wind have to do with this? The wind is due to the sun heating up the air, and hot air moves up while cold air moves down. Helicopters don't need to adjust for the earth's rotation because of conservation of momentum, why in the flying f‡‡k would they compensate for it?

The Flat Earth model would actually predict a 24 hour sun in Antarctica... and everywhere else, year-round. The day-night cycle that happens every day and which everyone can observe any time poses a much bigger problem for Flat Earth than midnight sun in Antarctica.

[@Bunny99s]

That's actually true. Though they claim some magic "flat earth perspective" which somehow makes things disappear when they are "far away". They never give any numbers but they are satisfied with the idea. However the 24h sun in antarctica does pose an issue for their non-explanation of how sunsets work in their mind. So it may help some flerfs to have their "model" crumble. Though some flerfs will probably go just another extra mile and come up with an even more ridiculous nonsense explanation.

Luckily for Limey and Glober Mom, I think they can rest very well in peace knowing full well what the outcome of this trip is going to be! Good luck down there Dave! Really looking forward to the heaps of content you're going to bring out of this. Even if you don't change the minds of flerfs (being they don't care about truth or facts anyway) You've still accomplished something amazing that not many people will ever get to do in their life.

Wow. This ain't no picnic. Got your work cut out but keeping my fingers crossed. 🤞

[@JoeBob79569]

Even without the experiments I imagine that it being daytime all the time will raise some issues for the flatearthers, like having to wear a sleep mask at 1:00am. But I'm really looking forwards to seeing some footage from the expedition, like setting up the equipment, and just the general conversations from everybody while being out of their natural habitats.

I’m a science teacher and traveling to Antarctica is one of my bucket list places to visit. I will be living through your experiences. Thank you for documenting all of this. ❤

[@Hrethgir]

I used my bare phone on a tripod in the Arctic Circle to take pics of the Auroras in negative 20 to 30 F temps, and yeah, only time I had issues with fogging and icing was when I brought the frozen brick of a phone inside, and the humidity inside froze onto the phone. In these kinds of cold temps, the air is super dry. Hence the need for water bottles to combat dehydration. Cold, dry air sucks it out of you.

[@Wolfie6020]

Safe travels Dave, The EQ mount RA axis will be just off Vertical by around 10 degrees, would be great to highlight that also. A camera on an EQ mount correctly aligned won't show any field rotation so the Sunspots should remain in the same orientation for the full 360 degrees around the sky.

[@henrya3530]

Good to see you have addressed the issues of photography in a cold climate. Yes, lens fogging can be an issue especially when going from cold/dry to warm/humid environments but it's not as big a problem as some people may think. Ensuring you can operate your equipment while wearing gloves is important. I have spent decades using medium and large format film cameras in the arctic. My medium format cameras are all custom made by Ukrainian company Arax. My preferred camera for working outdoors in an arctic winter is an Arax-60/MLU (6x4.5 format). Its predecessors really were used in space which is probably the harshest environment for photography and, yes, they could be used by someone wearing a spacesuit. For large format work I mainly use a Sinar P.

Nice tribute to Limey and Glober Mom. I am going to attempt to take some sun spots during that time for TFE so I will forward them on to you with all relevant data. I have a Nikon D7100 with a 420-800 manual focus lens plus 20 stop solar filter. The issue I may have is my lack of experience focusing the lens to the sun and also the British weather. Plus I have never taken solar shots before but I am going to try. Safe travels and good luck!

It is difficult to polar allign a german equatorial mount in the southern hemisphere even at night. There is no pole star. You have to aim your polar axis at a spot between stars. Plus, you have to make sure the mount is in southern hemisphere mode.

22:18 I would recommend confirming if the stylus pens still work when you are wearing gloves. As far as I know stylus pen work by "connecting" your hand to the pen tip, and the gloves prevent that and stylus pen may not work. If the pen stops working with gloves on, you can try running a small (electrical) wire from your wrist to the pen to restore the said "connection". 24:39 You can throw some moisture absorber pack in the bag along with the camera for extra safety.

[@Slimmeyy]

Only the rubberised tip is important. You could put one of those on any object of any material and it'll work, regardless of if you're wearing gloves.

[@joeo3377]

It depends on the type of touch screen, but for touch screens where the rubber pen tip works, the screen really just needs pressure applied. Capacitive touchscreens need something that has electrical conductivity applied, but resistive touch screens just need pressure. There are other technologies as well.

[@CorwynGC]

"Capacitive styluses are unique, however, because they work with capacitive touchscreens. As previously mentioned, capacitive styluses are made of an electrically conductive material. They may contain other, non-conductive materials like plastic. The actual tip, however, features a conductive surface that’s able to absorb some of the touchscreen’s electrostatic field, thus allowing the device to register the stylus’s touch commands." -- Nelson Miller
