[@denysvlasenko1865]

3:50 The size of the pixel is not chosen to be smaller than a "star image". It is chosen to be somewhat smaller than size of PSF (point spread function) of the telescope in the focal plane. Because telescope can't produce details smaller than PSF, having much smaller pixels don't help, but readout electronics gets more complicated the more pixels you have.

[@photografiq_presents]

Congratulations, after 7 hours 9 people out of 13000 agree with you. I can see your "Well, actually..." adenoids. You should expect a call from somebody. NASA, most likely. Sorry, I'm being facetious. What i mean is: I'm satisfied with their description, yours is just word salad for me. Sometimes near enough is good enough,. Out of all the people who's lives would change with the exact understanding of this fact, I think the vast majority would also accept that the lay people don't need such an in depth discussion.

[@johntheux9238]

It's a survey telescope though, the pixels are way bigger than the Airy disk because it's not supposed to look at details but just to tell if there is something.

[@claudiascarpine6695]

@@johntheux9238No the pixels need to be smaller than the Airy disk so they can distinguish star from galaxies. They do this by measuring the object shape.

[@johntheux9238]

@@claudiascarpine6695 It's a f/1.2 telescope so the Airy disk is 1 micrometer while the pixels are 10 micrometers

[@ilaion11]

Petapixel, some info you gave was not accurate or incomplete. As an astronomy amateur, I easily spotted them. 1. The camera was designed for the telescope, not the other way around. In fact, the whole complex was designed on the limits we can actually achieve with the tech we have, but the size of the primary mirror is the number 1 limit. 2. The lenses in front of the sensor are corrective lenses, field flattener, astigmatism corrector and chromatic aberration corrector. They don't serve other purposes than that and they are a must for such a fast telescope (f/1.3) and an unavoidable compromise. 3. it would have been nice to give us an equivalent field of view on a full frame format. 3.5-degree field of view translates to a 600mm lens of a full frame camera (horizontal field of view).

[@niccollsvideo]

Ask me something about fly fishing .

[@ilaion11]

@@niccollsvideo well, that's fair up to a point. When it comes to anything fishing, my brain is a big void. I can hardly put a worm on the hook. Though, astronomy is entangled with astrophotography and optics and the same optics principles apply to camera lenses as well. All lenses need correctors. Some lens designs have the correcting feature embedded into the lens design, like the classic double gauss or the sonar lens type or Petzval type, others have correctors at the end, like telephoto lenses. There are scales of field of view of lenes, I had to check it out myself to see how much 3.5 degrees actually are on full frame lens. The most interesting feature of this telescope that is absent on any other telescope is that it is so bright (f1/3), so large (8.4 m) and it has such a large area camera. This translates to very fast image acquisition and very sharp because of the short exposure times required that will lower the atmospheric turbulence influence on the image, not to mention the low image noise.

I think the photo filter carousel is my favorite part. Would love to have that on a real camera

[@unlucky5442]

Amateur astrophotographers use something really similar called an EFW, electronic filter wheel.

[@wall-ejonhson1800]

@@unlucky5442 In that case, the design of the filter exchange system was rather tricky. As the camera hangs in the center of the telescope's secondary mirror, its outer diameter had to be minimized to maximize the collected light from the sky. No filter wheel was allowed to sit besides the aperture. Filter exchange system must fit inside camera's body, but it was impossible to store on the carousel the 6 filters needed for observing in the different bands of wavelength. The less frequently used filter (UV band) will have to be inserted by an auto-changer , replacing one of those inside while maintening the cleanliness

[@NG-VQ37VHR]

I wish I could use a similar carousel for my RASA. Having to use a filter drawer with a mono camera is a pain, and my OSC camera just doesn't get the same detail as a mono.

Okay, funny story. I was at Stanford when they built SLAC. Stanford physics professor Wolfgang Panofsky was in charge of the project. He was known jokingly as the dumb brother because he'd gotten a B in phys ed at Princeton. At any rate, the mother of a Stanford co-ed noticed that the accelerator was pointed straight at the women's gym. Sound the alarm! - our daughters will be sterilized! So the good professor got someone to take a bulldozer out to the end of the accelerator and make a big pile of dirt. Which of course became known as Mount Panofsky.

I've been following the build of this telescope from the beginning. I was interested in the relative pixel density of the LSST sensor, so thank you for that. Also, thanks for covering this, I had no expectation that you guys would get into stuff like this, so this was special. Incidentally, one factoid that was omitted is that the Vera Rubin Telescope will basically be capable of taking a high-res image of the night sky every four nights (at least that is what I understood while this was being built, it could be better than that now). The differences between each image at the same spots will be used to track moving objects like asteroids, which was mentioned, but also Kuiper Belt Objects, potentially like the true 9th planet. This was awesome, keep at it guys.

Did I heard CCDs? I knew CCD is the king!

[@ilaion11]

Not for general use cameras. CCD is just king in scientific image acquisition. It needs cryogenic cooling to lower the noise, it consumes tens of times more energy than CMOS and the image quality in not much greater than that of a CMOS after cooling it at -100 Celsius. Though, it is much more sensitive in infrared where it is needed to be, it has a perfect linear image, a must for precise light measurements and it is better when i comes to lower noise, long exposure times.
