Hi everyone!

It might be a naive question, but I am interested in capturing images of a low earth orbit satellite that was deployed two weeks ago, and I am wondering if this is possible for an amateur without investing in the necessary equipment, for example by renting observation time at iTelescope or from similar providers.

The goal is not to capture beautiful images, but to find out what the status of the satellite is. The satellite is launched folded, and is currently unfolding the antenna array to a total area of 223 m² before it can start operating, and I want to know whether this has been completed or not.

I and probably many of you have seen articles or Reddit posts about different things people have seen in the night sky, from the ISS, Starlink satellite trains, strange patterns in the sky that turned out to be a failed Falcon rocket, and many other things.

AST SpaceMobile’s satellites are the largest commercial satellites (~10 by 7 m), and although they are a lot smaller than the ISS which is about the size of a football field (108.5 by 72.8 m), they are larger than the SpaceX satellites (1,4 x 2,8 m), whic

Title basically, please feel free to ask me anything about stripping wires, wire strippers and anything about the daily life of an electrician you never dared to ask irl.

I recently got my M3 Max and after a lot of trial and error my prints are becoming bigger, to a point where I will be needing the auto feed option. The problem is, the cable and tubing is rather short, and I'd prefer not always having to turn the whole printer when changing the bottle, so I'd like to extend the tubing and the cable. Extending the tubing is not an issue, but I am not sure which connector they use on the cable.

Does anyone know which connector is used for the auto feed bottle cap? Is it a JST-XH 3-pin connector? The connectors on the [motherbo
