Literally just down the road from me ( Heapham ) Happy to help where I can.....I can get rid of the pies & beer for you....😀 Kev

It would be easier to weigh them rather than counting......if you filled the 1 litre jar with smarties.....weighed it.....emptied the smarties out...weighed the jar again and then weighed an individual smarty.... Easy peasy.... ....hold on.... Is the singular form of smarties.....smarty or smartie ?

and we think the average person in a crowd uses this method........ ?

People still seem to missing the point regarding bias... Someone's height....speed of a car and weight of objects are all things we are familiar with and have a great deal of "life experience" of. Counting sweets in a jar is not something we do frequently so we have little if any experience of this. For example ( without googling it ) how many smarties could you fit in a 1 litre milk bottle ?

Had a little browse....very impressed with the website....lots of knowledge 😀

This is correct.....there will be a bias due to the lack of the average persons knowledge/experience in estimating the value. If people were told you could fit a certain number of smarties in a 1 Litre jar and then you showed them a jar full of smarties the "wisdom of the crowd" would probably work. People would actually be estimating the size of the jar and hence working out the number of smarties based on the knowledge given above. It is likely the average estimation of the size of the jar may be quite accurate. However it is likely that the average person does not have this knowledge and we would most likely over or underestimate due to common misconception of the value.

Which part of the world are you in ? This can help as there may be local shops. star parties or people who may be willing to provide hands on assistance.

Did the NUCs IP address change from 192.168.0.2 ? I thought this worked before when you had it connected to your wifi router ?

Looking through the attachments again I still think that this is a simply an IP address issue. I believe that either A: both the NUC and the laptop have the same IP address 192.168.0.2 or B: There is no DHCP service running on the mini router "probably because Smart IP ( DHCP ) is on " Either one would cause lack of connection between the NUC and the laptop. My money is on B:

Looking at the info that I can see Smart IP ( DHCP ) disables the DHCP server ?

Might be tempted to turn off Smart IP ( DHCP ) and configure the DHCP settings manually as well.

If I am reading this correctly----looking at the attachments that were sent The NUC can be accessed from the laptop if: NUC connected via Lan to wifi router---Laptop connected wirelessly to wifi router NUC connected via wireless to wifi router---Laptop connected wirelessly to wifi router ------------------------------------------ The NUC cannot be accessed from the laptop if: NUC connected via Lan to portable router---laptop connected wirelessly to portable router ---------------------------------------- IP address for Laptop when connected to portable router needs to be checked to make sure it is not the same as the NUC ip address

Not sure about a NUC using both......however I am assuming the USB adapter can easily be unplugged. However .''as mentioned.... definitely need to check the IP address of the laptop when connecting to the portable router via wifi

I would still think connecting to both ethernet LAN and wifi at the same time may cause issues

Looking at the "LAN to mini router pdf" The IP address shown is that for the NUC wired LAN connection to the mini-router but it also seems to be connected to the wifi to the plusnet router at the same time ?

Try contacting ASI, they may still do a repair....doesn't cost anything to ask.

Looking at their website they may be offering a free repair ? and hello to all the Lincs boys.....👍

Don't know if this is relevant or not https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/news/oil-leak-issue-on-asi2600mc-pro-and-other-cameras.html Kev

There is a clear difference between true Redshift and reddening caused by scattering in that the Fraunhofer lines will be shifted in the former but not the latter.

There is still a theory ( amongst others ) that as light travels through the "Aether" it is slowed down by about 20km/s every million lightyears it travels through. This may give the same appearance as the universe expanding. ( Aether = spacetime & all associated gravitational fields etc......basically the bits between the stars )

Personally I would be giving my objective lens a wipe looking at that one.....

If my maths is correct a black hole with a mass of about 1 Billion Billion suns may have a gravitational field at its event horizon similar to that here on earth

I think this is how all ( spiral ) galaxies are made....it would be odder if they didn't have one.
