  5. I thought I would share my portrait of neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 - 1934) for #VirtualArtOfNeuro. It shows him as a young man in front of Purkinje and granule cells from a pigeon, based on one of his own drawings. 🧵1/2

  6. Another scientist for #VirtualArtOfNeuro - #neuroscientist Hendrik Van der Loos (1929-1993) shown in my print with his discovery (along with med student Thomas Woolsey), of the barrel cortex, plus the mouse head & whiskers linked directly to it.

    Some species of rodents have a region of the somatosensory cortex that was named the #barrelcortex after its shape, which contains the barrel field.

  11. @WestportObservatory Stellarium also is quite useful for understanding what's where and when.

  12. @MikeImBack Follow the advice of the commenter who recommends Ed Ting's reviews.

    Watch out for 4.5 inch reflectors that are catadioptric -- that is, they have a correcting lens in the focuser tube. There are a lot of them out there. It allows for a shorter tube, but makes them difficult to collimate (collimation is the process of aligning the primary and secondary mirrors in a reflector).

    Have fun shopping.

  13. Hercules is a tough constellation for me. The stars in it are not super bright, and when one starts looking, it turns out there a lot of vaguely keystone-shaped asterisms up there, from which one's imagination can compose the torso of Hercules.

    Happily, there are star maps. And I know that one can draw a line from Sulafat through Sheliak, in the constellation Lyra; and drawing that line outward in a direction away from the constellation Cygnus brings one right to Messier 13, the Great Star Cluster in Hercules, in a location that maps to right above Hercules' right hip in the torso keystone asterism.

    But when one is looking down at the star map with a red light, then craning back one's neck to look upward, it all gets rather confused. So last night I tried a different method: I brought out the binoculars (big Oberwerk 12x60 LERs capable of spotting M13), and reclined in a chair, so no longer looking down, then up.

    Better result. The Sulafat-Sheliak line took me right to M13, and I was able to work out the torso keystone from there. Still, my neck complained after 20 minutes of this game. Next time I try this I'll bring a blanket out and simply lie on my back.
