Assembling and setting up the telescope

 

I recently bought CELESTRON PowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope  and found the following video very informative and short for quick setup

I tried to set it up and take few pictures by just placing my small digital camera (Nikon 3200) and result was better than expected

However I think buying a digital eyepiece  would help everything capturing in a computer digitally.
Other way is to use Universal Digital Camera Adapter for Astrophotography.

I will keep updating my notes as I keep reading and discovering  more information.

Load Testing Using Gatling

Gatling is an open source load testing framework based on Scala programming language. One of the advantage of Gatling over other load testing framework that I have used is that the code is very elegant and readable, thanks to its own DSL. One may not have prior knowledge of Scala to get started with Gatling. There are some documentation in the Gatling website which will help you write simple HTTP calls to your webservices but it gets bit difficult to incorporate the exact scenario of your test case because there are not much variety of example code which you can quickly edit and use. In this article I will try to show most of the structural construct that are frequently used while making a series of dependent web-service calls, typically used by a mobile game client while interacting with the game server.

Setup instructions are well described in the getting started tutorial. Following scala code will make a POST request to a mock REST endpoint that I have created using mockable.io.

Bengali English word definition in Google Dictionary

It was good to see that Google Dictionary supports Bengali Language along with Hindi , Gujarati, , Marathi and Other south Indian Languages (Malayalam , Kanada , Telegu , Tamil)
http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=bn|en&q=অভিঘাত+&hl=en




























Similarly most of the Bengali words’ english meaning can be determined as follows
http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=en|bn&q=irony&hl=en




























However the Bengali font size was so small that I had to Ctrl + “+” to make them properly visible.
I hope Only major remaining  language Oriya will follow up.
This feature might be available shortly as part of other features of Google Search bar.

Sharing Photosphere

I have been always a fan of panorama images. There are a lot of photo stitching software which can join many overlapping images to create a single one. I have used Photosynth earlier with a lot of satisfaction. There a lot of phones and digital cameras which can do it right out of the camera in panoramic mode, in which you have to slowly move the capturing device and it will continuously take and stitch photos to create larger panorama.  While there ares some websites like CleVR and GigaPan can help sharing the horizontal panoramas and let embed in various sites, spherical panoramas like the ones taken from photosphere app in Android 4.2 cameras could not be embedded in a straight forward way without doing some HTML coding. Finally I found a site called SphereShare.net for this purpose. Following is the embedded photo I took uploaded in this site.
