IC 342 is a big barred spiral galaxy of morphological type SAB(rs)cd. It glows brightly at magnitude 9.1 but has a low surface brightness. This makes it challenging for small telescopes or as a ...
The smaller ATtiny microcontrollers have a limited number of pins, and therefore rely on an internal 9.6 MHz oscillator rather than an external crystal. This oscillator lacks the accuracy of a crys… ...
A metal detector used to be an entirely analogue instrument, an oscillator whose frequency changed with the inductance of its sense coil when a piece of metal approached. [Łukasz Podkalicki ...
P. M. White, G. Bothun, The Intrinsic Structure and Color of IC 342 from CCD Observations, Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Vol. 115, No. 811 (September 2003), pp. 1135-1142 ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- Looking like a spider's web swirled into a spiral, Galaxy IC 342 presents its delicate pattern of dust in this image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Seen in infrared light ...
IC 342 is a hotbed of activity, with forming stars, gas and dust melding into a spiral shape around the galaxy's bright center. The Hubble image is a zoomed-in look at this central area.
While stars in our own galaxy appear as blue/white dots, the blue haze is from IC 342's collective starlight. Red shows the dust structures, which contain clumps of new stars.
(Yes, serial on ATtiny. Even ATtiny13!) – A buffer IC between target and host MCUs only connects the two while flashing – Open hardware driven by open source software. Unfortunately, ...
