That sounds wonderful!! it does indeed look like an absolutely beautiful city. It really is a gorgeous country.

I love Napoli. I have been in many other places, but I keep preferring Naples to other major cities like Milan, Rome, etc…

One day I might just go to Sardinia or some other less light polluted area and experience the night sky as our ancestors saw it!

If you look at the light pollution map, you’ll see that the whole Italy is not suitable to see the Milky Way with the naked eye :/ (Unless you count some isolated places in Sardinia)

Naples area? If so what is the climate like? Has to be such a gorgeous area being on the Mediterranean, ya?

I feel you on light pollution. I live in the burbs(right outside) of New Orleans. While Orleans city proper is nothing remotely close to a New York, Miami, L.A. the metro area is massive.

You can see Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Mercury and the major constellations but when you go about 30 miles away the night sky is breathtakingly beautiful.

Can't you just drive south to the mountains that separate you from Amalfi? For the dark sky i mean.

I know, I was just joking! Seeing one of those is on my list, as well as seeing the Aurora borealis and a dark sky, since I live in Napoli, one of the most light-polluted cities in the world, with no trace of dark skies nearby :(

Thanks! I’ve seen plenty after the fact, I want the wonder and excitement of seeing it happen with my own eyes.

> I’d give anything

Here you go. You have just seen one of those. I want a collection of ancient Roman coins, thank you.

Reply to comment by BrotherZesty in Stereoscopic motion parallax of the Moon passing between L1 and the Earth by EmergeHolographic

Aww thank you! 😍 I really appreciate the positive feedback! I get a lot of pushback for calling some of my work stereoscopic, even though to me that's just a description of the medium

>When I first saw this I was wondering how you had generated the left and right images and thought you may have been using images captured at different times to simulate the lateral separation.

Yes! So glad people get it. There's something really magical about watching the world this way. I mentioned doing this with the ISS, however there's more macro footage of the whole globe rotating that this can be accomplished with, and it's amazing because this creates an illusion of depth to the sun's reflection off the Earth, which I did not expect. Vision is so cool.

I'm curious, as I discovered how to do this using self-teachings, are you familiar with a name for this technique? I've been referring to it as motion parallax but I'm not sure if that's entirely correct when making a stereograph out of two different frames in time.

Thanks again for your feedback!

Something a metre wide might make a noise when it burns up (like a small fireworks rocket, “fsssssshhhhh”)

Reply to comment by voidminecraft in This is what the sky looked like during the spacex rocket launch by Zommerfeld

Yes there are websites/apps. Think they're called spaceflight now or spacexnow. Something like that. I would go to the spacex sub and check out their general discussion thread (should be pinned) and I think they have a list of resources for those kinds of things. In that thread you could also ask where to find it and someone should point you in the right direction.
