There is a group of people who really like to explore the mysteries of the universe. Some people call this group of people astronomy enthusiasts. There are two types of astronomy enthusiasts, one is pure stargazing, and the other is deep-sky photography players.
Astronomical telescopes are quite unfamiliar to many people. Everyone thinks that they are just telescopes that can see many planets. The price is just different. Basically, a good astronomical telescope costs about one thousand to get started, and three to five.
One thousand is already pretty good. For most people, three to five thousand is enough for stargazing.
Is it cheaper than you think? Because these are planetary mirrors. You can only see Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars at most. You get what you pay for. The clarity you can see in the lens is different.
These are not like the moon, which everyone can see intuitively. An astronomical telescope allows you to see a lot that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Of course, many people will think that mobile phones are very powerful now. Professional cameras are no better at taking pictures of the moon than professional cameras and astronomical telescopes.
Difference.
However, mobile phone manufacturers did not tell users the specific details. They only said that they would add an AI algorithm or something like that. In fact, up to ten times the magnification of the phone is a real image, and above ten times it can be understood that the AI algorithm has P a picture for you. For example, using
When taking a picture of the moon with a mobile phone, if you zoom in about ten times the focal length, you can still barely capture the layering of the moon. But if you zoom in more than ten times, you will find that the moon is big and round. This is what P produced, and it is not a real mirror image at all.
But astronomical telescopes are big and round at first, but after magnifying fifty times or one hundred times, you can see the craters on the moon. Professional cameras can also ensure that magnification of more than ten times can retain the sense of reality and color differences.
The color taken by the AI algorithm is often very different from the real thing.
There is also a group of people who are interested in astronomy, and these people are really interested in making money. As the saying goes, if you spend three years in photography, you will spend a lifetime in deep-sky photography.
If you are purely into astronomy, one thousand is enough to get started. If you are into deep space photography, the astronomical telescope is only part of it. You also need an equatorial mount, a finder scope box, an ESC, a weight, a primary mirror, etc., which is the cheapest configuration.
The Beggar's Edition costs more than 10,000.
Experts in this industry say that the entry-level price starts at RMB 100,000, mainly for photographing nebulae. Nebulae are cloud-like celestial bodies formed by the combination of gas and dust in interstellar space. Many people are familiar with this. Some professional deep-sky photography
Players have taken pictures and posted them online, and they are the kind of colorful universe maps.
As for astronomical telescopes used for teaching or scientific research, they only start with tens of millions of dollars. These can see more stars and seas that ordinary people cannot see. If you want to see more planets, the price is high, such as
Astronomical telescopes like the James Webb are worth tens of billions of dollars.
People who are experienced in astrophotography are really rich. No one else can see how this money is spent. One lens may be enough to buy a sports car, and these people will spend all their astronomical telescopes on it.
The entire set of equipment is placed in a fixed position, and most of it is placed in the observatory for unified care and storage.
If you go to an observatory for the first time, be sure not to touch some telescopes. It's best to stay away from them, because that set may cost hundreds of millions. Don't touch them. Many of them are put there by scientific research institutions.
Just remember one thing. Among the telescopes that can be placed in the observatory, the cheapest ones are personal. A set costs tens or even millions at least. Of course, if you want to find a rich and free lady, you can go there for a walk.
Next, if the young lady reserves a seat for herself, then the rich woman you may want will appear.
The eldest princess of the Li family is a person who likes deep space photography very much and is also a senior astronomy enthusiast.
This group is a very scary group, because this group is divided into two personalities, both of which are not ordinary people.
One is to see through everything and feel that human beings are just a drop in the ocean in the universe. They take everything lightly and just want to quietly appreciate the universe and live a simple and ordinary life. They are not stupid, but belong to everyone.
A person who speaks of great enlightenment.
There is another kind of person who has a very strong desire. He does not want to see these little things with such limitations, but wants to pry into and reveal more unknown elements, from the universe to antiques such as calligraphy and painting, and finally begins to like to explore the most mysterious things.
The mysterious thing, human nature!
Such people have great ambitions and want to control everything, even the vast universe. They do not follow common sense and do things that are shocking and incredible. No one knows what this group of people want to do.
But this group of people have one thing in common: they like to have absolute control and must follow their ideas at all costs.
The eldest princess is this kind of person. Don’t think that deep space photography is easy. It’s just like fishing. You need to wait. Depending on the weather, some people may not be able to take a photo even after a night, and some people may even take months.
No, but these people are very patient and can endure loneliness and stay calm.
This group of people appear in movies and TV dramas in passing, because most people are unfamiliar with this field, and the circle is not big or small, and the screenwriters may not be able to distinguish between stripe enthusiasts and deep space photography.
The difference between people is the people in the two fields.
Zhao Mingyang doesn't understand these things, but he has played with photography and astronomical telescopes. It can only be said that he has played with this stage.
When he arrived near the observatory, there was an area that was sealed off and inaccessible to outsiders. The eldest princess was alone in an area stargazing on the lawn. There was also an oversized tent for her to rest.
Sometimes you have to get up in the middle of the night, so many astronomy enthusiasts like to watch stars outdoors, especially on mountaintops or plateaus in the suburbs. It is quiet and has a good night view. There are no neon lights or haze to cover the sky, and the stars can be seen with the naked eye.
Zhao Mingyang changed his outfit in the car, wearing long johns, autumn clothes and cotton socks, a white collared sweater, a pair of black casual pants, a long black windbreaker and a pair of black casual leather shoes with velvet inside.
, the heating measures are in place.
I wiped my glasses and put them on, then took a backpack and put it on my back. It’s cold here at night, and if you don’t take measures to keep yourself warm, it’s easy to urinate frequently.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. In another two or three hours, it is said that the best time for stargazing tonight will be.
Zhao Mingyang was holding a large thermos cup in his hand, which contained ginger tea to ward off the cold, because he knew that he could not pretend to be a fool by pretending to be cool.
There was a blocked area ahead and guarded by bodyguards. Zhao Mingyang went straight to the blocked area.
The security guard stopped him and said a bunch of words in Korean, and Zhao Mingyang probably understood that there was a blocked area ahead.
Zhao Mingyang took out a business card and handed it to the bodyguard, used a translator to translate it and said: "I'll leave this problem to your eldest lady. I just said that I want to come in and ask her if I can."
The bodyguard took a look at the business card that Zhao Mingyang handed over. This card was customized by Zhao Mingyang before. It was made of pure wood and had carved patterns. It looked like the kind of business card that had a full face. The bodyguard had never seen it before.
The bodyguard hurriedly went to inform the eldest lady. Anyway, Zhao Mingyang's attitude didn't look like an ordinary person, because the old Wu standing behind Zhao Mingyang looked like a bodyguard, and he looked fierce at first glance.
Lao Wu's appearance is similar to that of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, giving people the oppressive feeling of a powerful macho man.
Soon, the bodyguard trotted back and invited Zhao Mingyang in, but Lao Wu couldn't.
Zhao Mingyang asked Lao Wu to rest in the car and not to worry about him.
Zhao Mingyang was searched from the bottom of his body by Li Enhui's bodyguards. After confirming that he was not carrying any dangerous items, Zhao Mingyang was let in.
The Li family attaches great importance to security. For example, the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Enhui,’s annual security fee starts at one million U.S. dollars. The head of the Li family’s annual security fee starts at 30 to 50 million U.S. dollars. Traveling is really good.
The kind that blocks roads.
Zhao Mingyang was brought to Li Enhui by the bodyguards. Li Enhui was wearing a black woolen coat and was sitting in front of an open-air teahouse. She was surrounded by bodyguards. Her skin was very good and she looked to be in her mid-thirties.
, I take good care of myself, and living a life without worries about food and clothing can indeed slow down aging. I don’t even look like I am in my early forties.
Zhao Mingyang took a deep breath and walked over and said, "Hello, Miss Enhui, nice to meet you."
Li Enhui raised his head and glanced at Zhao Mingyang, motioned for Zhao Mingyang to sit down, and stood up without shaking hands with him.
Zhao Mingyang put down his backpack and took a seat. Zhao Mingyang could see a trace of disdain in Li Enhui's eyes, because in her eyes, Zhao Mingyang was no different from her son-in-law.
Not only Li Enhui looked at Zhao Mingyang like this, many children from such big families looked at Zhao Mingyang with contempt.
Because Zhao Mingyang and Xu Qingqing just don't belong to the right family, but Zhao Mingyang entered this circle so easily, and everyone can't laugh at him directly.
But the look of disdain in his eyes was the most painful. But Zhao Mingyang had nothing to feel uncomfortable about. As long as he didn't feel uncomfortable, it would be others who would feel uncomfortable. Anyway, Zhao Mingyang originally felt that marrying into a wealthy family was what he wanted most.
, isn’t this a dream come true?
"Are you following me?" Li Enhui said in a low tone in English.
Zhao Mingyang looked at her and smiled and said: "That's not true. I just came here to take a look. I heard that this is the best place to watch the meteor shower tonight, so I made a special trip to have a look.
Along the way, I heard many people going up the mountain saying that you are stargazing here. It seems that you come here often, right?
I didn’t expect you, Miss Enhui, to be here. After I heard that, I came over to say hello and say hello to you. This place you chose is really good. If possible, do you mind if I sketch here?
."
"Sketch?" Li Enhui looked at Zhao Mingyang and felt that this guy was joking. Did he come here to sketch in the middle of the night?
"Yes, I like painting, especially the fleeting beauty, the beauty seen by the eyes." After Zhao Mingyang said that, he opened the large canvas bag he carried and took out a hand-cranked metal easel.
, a 36-hole pen curtain, a box of charcoal strips, a copy folder, a rubbing surface, plastic rubber and washi tape, clips, sketching board and sketching paper.
4K8K sketch paper and sketchbook, 4K solid drawing board, and a folding chair. Zhao Mingyang quickly arranged and assembled these things neatly. He did not give Li Enhui time to refuse, acting as if he was proving that he was not lying.
Even if it was arranged, Li Enhui wouldn't be able to drive him away.
Zhao Mingyang took out pencils, charcoal pencils and charcoal strips from the pen curtain, put everything needed on the drawing board, and also took out a box of oil pastels.
It looked so impressive that Li Enhui didn't know what Zhao Mingyang meant.
She knew Zhao Mingyang, and she also knew that Zhao Mingyang could not meet by chance, but she didn't know what Zhao Mingyang wanted to do.
Driving him away would appear to be a lack of etiquette and a slap in the face of the Xu family. This cannot be done. After all, the Xu family has a lot of industries in Europe and the United States and has a status in China. Even though Zhao Mingyang is the son-in-law, he cannot be easily offended. As the old saying goes.
, beating a dog depends on the owner, so you can only let him stay and see what this guy wants to do? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.
Li Enhui ignored Zhao Mingyang, and Zhao Mingyang was very sensible and didn't speak. He just sat there painting quietly.
It seems like I'm painting the sky, but it doesn't seem like it, but I paint it very seriously.
Li Enhui ignored Zhao Mingyang and went back to the big tent to rest alone. Bodyguards were on duty in shifts.
Zhao Mingyang made no other moves and kept painting. The bodyguards would look at him twice at first, but then they stopped looking at him at all.
Zhao Mingyang had to wear a lot of clothes. It was indeed a bit cold at night, so he took a few sips of ginger tea.
By the time Li Enhui's alarm clock rang, she had already rested for an hour.
Li Enhui wiped her face with a washcloth, then walked out of the tent and saw Zhao Mingyang still painting under the night. The moonlight was shining on Zhao Mingyang, and the lights next to the teahouse were still on. Zhao Mingyang was not too far away from here.
You can draw with the help of low light and moonlight, but others can't see clearly what Zhao Mingxi painted.
This distance was about three or four meters away. Li Enhui asked the bodyguard if Zhao Mingyang had been painting there.
The bodyguard bent down and whispered to Li Enhui that Zhao Mingyang had been painting there and had never even been to the bathroom.
Li Enhui looked at Zhao Mingyang who was painting seriously and fell into deep thought. Did he meet him by chance? Do he really like painting and come to a place like this to paint? And he also likes to paint late at night?
Zhao Mingyang's move made Li Enhui no longer interested in stargazing. She was very angry that Zhao Mingyang, an uninvited guest, disturbed her stargazing mood and affected her.
Li Enhui suppressed her anger and walked aside to look at the stars. She didn't want Zhao Mingyang to affect her mood for taking pictures.
But from time to time, I would peek at Zhao Mingyang, wanting to see what Zhao Mingyang was doing and what he was painting.
This is also a weakness of people who like to play with astronomical telescopes, and they will have a strong curiosity.
Zhao Mingyang seemed to have drawn several pieces of paper, and he was painting very seriously.
At about one o'clock in the morning, the meteor shower arrived. Zhao Mingyang stood up and looked at the sky. The meteor shower was fleeting.
Zhao Mingyang sat down again and continued painting. Li Enhui now wanted to see what Zhao Mingyang's painting was like.
But it's hard to ask. If he did, Zhao Mingyang would find out that he was curious.
At about 1:30 in the morning, Zhao Mingyang got up.
"Excuse me, where is the bathroom here?" Zhao Mingyang asked the bodyguard.
The bodyguard pointed in a direction, Zhao Mingyang thanked him and walked to the bathroom.
After Zhao Mingyang left, Li Enhui asked the bodyguard to see what Zhao Mingyang had drawn and take a photo of it with his mobile phone for her.
Mainly because he was afraid that Zhao Mingyang would see Li Enhui peeking at Zhao Mingyang's paintings, the bodyguard quickly took Li Enhui's cell phone to take pictures of Zhao Mingyang's paintings, and then handed the phone to Li Enhui.
Zhao Mingyang painted four or five blessing paintings tonight. Li Enhui did not rush to see them, but chose to leave.
By the time Zhao Mingyang came back, Li Enhui and his party had already left.
Zhao Mingyang held up his mobile phone and shined the flashlight on it. He seemed to be packing things, but he was actually looking at the ground.
The tiny bit of chewing gum on the grass is missing, which proves that someone has been around here and stepped on it. It's so dark here, let alone at night, it's hard to notice a small bit of chewed gum hidden in the grass even during the day.
of chewing gum. Zhao Mingyang knew that Li Enhui had not suppressed her curiosity, so he hoped that she would like the gift he gave her.
In painting, there is a technique of using dots and dashes to line up the picture. It is not a superb technique, but this is a gift for the eldest lady.
Li Enhui sat in the car, transferred the contents of her mobile phone to the tablet, looked at the starry sky picture drawn by Zhao Mingyang, and colored it with oil pastels. It was a bit abstract, but overall the picture was pretty good.
There are also a few paintings that are a bit interesting. They are all densely packed with dots, many of which are connected by lines, but only a quarter of them are connected.
Li Enhui, who had been painting since elementary school, decided to go home and pick up paper and pen to draw to see what Zhao Mingyang had drawn. These contents aroused Li Enhui's interest, as if she was exploring a person's secrets.
