Along with the instrument itself, there's a little tabletop tripod that stands just 7 inch (18 cm) tall and isn't really of much use. The Vaonis Vespera package is somewhat bare bones. Limited accessories means you have to pay more to get the full experience.Ability to connect up to 8 people on Wi-Fi.The hygrometer (which measures humidity), the light pollution filter and the solar filter are all high quality but optional extras. However, we did notice that the galaxies had the opposite problem to the North America Nebula – they appeared quite small in the field of view. The sliver of light grew larger and bolder, and the higher surface brightness of M82 meant a much shorter total exposure time – we imaged for just 5 minutes. We were amazed by how fast the image appeared. Whereas M81 took its time to appear, the edge-on M82 showed brightly in the image after just 20 seconds. We could even zoom in and rotate the image on our phone screen while it was still stacking. It was highly impressive to watch the galaxy materialize out of the darkness. Going through the motion of the telescope turning to find M81, the bright diffuse bulge of the galaxy popped out immediately, and over the next 10 minutes gradually more and more of its spiral disk became apparent. Undeterred by the clouds, we switched to another patch of clear sky: Ursa Major, the Great Bear where we found two galaxies, Bode's Galaxy (M81) and the Cigar Galaxy (M82). However, Singularity has a Mosaic Mode that allows you to image up to four times the normal field of view by joining different exposures together and when this is employed, the North America Nebula can be captured in its entirety. Though forced to abandon that particular image, it was noticeable how the nebula's 2-degree-wide expanse was a little too big for the Vespera's field of view. The Vespera stacks new images every 20 seconds (this exposure time can be adjusted in the options) and we could just see the red outline of the nebula beginning to fill the field of view as clouds began to roll in. Once it was ready to begin capturing the image, the app displays a kind of space warp effect, before the image appears. It took about a minute for the telescope to swivel on its base and move its telescope arm up to point at the nebula. The first target we selected was NGC 7000, the North America Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus, right above our heads. The app provides basic information, such as the phase of the moon, when the sun rises and sets, and it flags up some celestial highlights that are especially helpful for beginners who may not know where to start.īut it was the imaging that we were here for. The Vespera is controlled entirely by Singularity. It then automatically focuses itself, which was great! The focusing was perfect, with pinpoint stars. Once initialized, the Vespera then scans around the sky, looking for patterns of stars that it can match up to charts stored in its memory, to figure out where it is pointing and the orientation of the sky. You then press a button on the app to initialize the Vespera (this first required us to download an update to the software). Our first job was to input our location into the app so that the telescope knows its latitude and longitude and where the stars are positioned in the sky relative to its location. Once activated, the Vespera creates its own Wi-Fi network that we could connect to our smartphone (or tablet) while running the Singularity app, which we downloaded onto our device via a QR code. Brighter deep sky objects can be imaged in less than a minuteįor all the hype, the Vespera has a lot to live up to, and thankfully we thought it did so brilliantly. Structure is a general term for analyzing plot. Plot involves the deliberate withholding of (implied) events, the chronological re-ordering of scenes, misleading framing and POV, and the anticipation of events to create pace and focus, build sympathy and tension, unleash surprises and satisfying payoffs. It is not a chronology of in-world events, and not necessarily a 'truthful' depiction. Plot is what is shown to the audience through the deliberate sequencing of scenes. Plot is the account of characters going to locations, actions, and dialog that occurs on-screen, and the events that can be logically inferred which happen off-screen. I think by most definitions plot is the objective 'stuff that happens'. It means to center the human-interest parts of the narrative: character-dynamics and conflict, over plot and spectacle. “Story is King” is a screenwriting motto, but without a good definition of 'story' it isn't very usable. It is the purpose and tone, the (intentional) meaning the film leaves on the audience. In writing terms, story usually refers to purposeful narrative sub-text including character dynamics, conflict and resolution, themes and social implications that are conveyed to the audience indirectly. The logline is a concise (commercialized) description of the film's 'story'. In practical terms, a film's story is equivalent to a summary.įilm and TV have a specific marketing tool "logline" which is a 1 or 2 sentence summary of the film that includes the main character(s), the premise, and an enticing description of the main conflict. Scenes that do not meet this dual-criteria are considered unnecessary, even detrimental to the final film. A co-existing 'rule' is that each scene must progress the long narrative of the film (Robert McKee's essay 'Do your scenes turn?' attempts to go in depth). A common 'rule' from professional screenwriters is that each scene contains a mini-conflict which arises and is resolved within the scene. This is where the definition becomes subjective. In writing terms, a scene is the smallest unit of a screenplay that still tells a narrative. Scenes are narrowly-defined for productions because it's necessary to show up for work and be prepared. Each scene is clearly labeled by their place and time in the narrative, so the individuals who work on the film can visualize their contribution and needs: set designers understand the environment, costumers understand what kind of clothing the characters should wear, etc. All screenplays are sectioned into scenes. In film production, scenes are the fictional locations and time-of-day where action and character dialog take place. I can't guarantee they are universal – a casual websearch returned plenty of discussion, maybe more confusing than helpful. I can give you my definitions in the context of tools used for writing. Every writer will have their own definition, and the attempt to put the differences into words goes back at least to Aristotle (I didn't find his definition useful as a modern writer). Since you don't provide context, it may be that these words are often used as casual synonyms that is causing confusion.Įven for writers, these words cover broad ideas that are somewhat loosely defined, and subjective. In real use, the specific meaning must come from the context of the sentence. They are all used, interchangeably, to refer to sequential events within a narrative film. These terms have overlapping definitions, especially in casual use. Since you have edited your question, I will attempt an answer.Ĭan someone tell me the difference between scene, plot, story, and structure ? If you’ve ever wondered about some of the apps Apple features in their iPhone TV ads, they’ve put theme all in one spot for you. Get Mactracker today from the App Store as a Free download. Otherwise this app is great! I highly recommend it! This way I could go through the database finding all my gear and mark it as a Favorite or “I have that” and then whenever, I wanted/needed to know the specs of a Mac or piece of Apple gear that I owned I could just go right to that section. I’d also like to see an “I have that” section. Don’t get me wrong, I know that the desktop app doesn’t have this either, but it seems like such a natural for the iPhone version. I was actually quite surprised that there was no option to email the specs page of a specific machine. Although the App works as advertised and best of all it’s FREE, like most things there is some room for improvement. Having Mactracker on my iPhone is GREAT! I love the instant access to the specs about machines that I’ll never remember or care to remember. Wikipedia: Macintosh Mactracker: Application with. So if you were selling or buying any other Apple gear, this would be a useful tool to have. You will need to look around the device to find the model number on a Mac desktop. You guessed it! That stuff is in there too. Specs on every Mac, answer Mac questions, compare Macs and. Let’s say you are a Windows user, but you have an iPhone, iPod, AirPort Base Station, Apple Display, or Apple TV. A complete guide of every Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad and Mac clone with technical and pricing info. Processor speed, latest Mac OS that it could run, maximum amount of RAM that you could put in it and all the info about Expansion, Ports, Graphics, and even the famous audible “Startup Chime” feature. Things like when it was introduced and when it was discontinued. Once you scrolled down to iMac G5 (20-Inch iSight) and tapped on it, you would then see all the important information. There you see every iMac model since the first Bondi Blue introduced back in 1998. You would first scroll up to Desktops (assuming you had scrolled down to see what was there) and then you’d tap on iMac. So lets say you wanted to know the specs on the 20″ iMac G5 with iSight camera. Just like the desktop version, Mactracker for the iPhone is organized by category and then by Mac type. Well now that tool comes to your iPhone or iPod touch. It’s a great tool especially when you’re in the market for a used Mac or selling your Mac and you or your customer wants the specs. Mactracker has been a long standing indispensable reference tool on the Mac to look up the specs for all the various Mac hardware that Apple has released over the years. Mactracker App Info and Alternatives For those interested in the Mactracker app, it is in the Mac App Store for macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and later and the iOS App Store for iOS 12 and later. However, Windows users stay tuned, I’ve got a reason why you might want this too. This one is definitely going to have more appeal to the Mac users out there than the Windows PC users. Navigate to the General - Current Models section of the App to see specs of Apple products that are currently being sold on on. One of my favorite features of this app is that it gives you a one stop shop to compare and look at the products of Apples current offering. Once you have the model of the device or you know the model of the device, navigate to Mactracker - either on your macOS or iOS device and find the Apple product that you would like to get more information about.įrom here you will be presented to plethora of info. That will give you the model of the device. So if the device is in front of you and you are able to get the serial number, I’d recommend to plug that serial number into. How about just to see what year the device in question was released, will Apple still support it, or will it install the latest software update that Apple is promoting? You can also do that. Let's just say you need to reference a MacBook Pro from 2013 to see if the device has a built in HDMI port, you can do that. Mactracker, in my opinion, one of the greatest free tools for an Apple IT Professional out there. Continuing from my "Is Your Device Under Warranty" post, here's an App that I regularly use in my day to day that will help you identify specifics about any Apple product you own. You can change it from the “Override group name” option. You can also change the group name according to what components you have in your system.

Fitted to the 320 CDI, the new diesel cut CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption over the old C270 CDI. On the diesel side, Mercedes-Benz released a brand-new 3.0-litre V6. The three-valve twin spark design was replaced by a four-valve design, now with variable valve timing. The C230, C280, C350 replaced the C240 and C320, the new-generation six-cylinder engines developed substantially more power than the older versions, by as much as 24 percent, whilst also increasing fuel economy and reducing CO 2 emissions. In North America, the changes took effect for the 2006 model year. Several all-new M272 and the OM642 V6 engines were introduced later in the year. Sport edition interior update/refresh (2005-2007) New more aggressive front, rear bumpers and side skirting were also installed. The exterior had changes of different wheel designs, grills and clear lens headlights. For the North American market C230, the "sport" package was made standard which included AMG edition bumpers, side skirts, and a rear spoiler. A fully integrated iPod connection kit was available as was a better Bluetooth phone system made optional. Center console revision with new radio and climate control designs were also included. The instrument cluster was revised to display four chrome gauges with multifunction display in the middle. The interior styling was changed in all three body styles. In North America, the refresh took effect for the 2005 model year. The C-Class W203 was refreshed in early 2004. The last W203 C-Class sedan was produced on 14 December 2006 at the Sindelfingen plant, although US-market sedans were made as late as March 2007. Over 30 percent of total sales occurred in Germany, and over 20 percent in the United States. Īs of, over two million C-Class vehicles (including sedan, station wagon and SportCoupé) had been sold since March 2000, with 1.4 million sedans since May 2000, 330,000 wagons since spring 2001, and 283,000 of SportCoupé since spring 2001. From October 2000 until 2007, a total of 230,000 SportCoupé were built in the Bremen factory and in Brazil. The SportCoupé continued on sale in other markets until 2008. For the C 240 and C 320, 4MATIC four-wheel drive versions were also offered in addition to rear-wheel drive.Īlong with the C-Class Estate (wagon), the SportCoupé was discontinued in Canada and the United States after the 2005 model year. The newer 1.8-litre was less powerful but smoother and more efficient than the older 2.3-litre engine (143 kW (194 PS) compared to 140 kW (190 PS). The C 230 Kompressor variant sported 140 kW (188 hp). All of them used the same 1.8-litre engine, with different designations according to horsepower levels, including a version powered by natural gas. Then in 2002 for the 2003 model year, a new family of supercharged four cylinder engines, dubbed M271, debuted for the entire C-Class range. The third body variant, a station wagon codenamed S203 arrived in 2001. The US model, labeled C 230 Kompressor, became available for the 2002 model year with the M111.981 engine, a 1.8 -liter supercharged inline-four making 143 kW (192 hp) at 5500 rpm and 280 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft) at 2500–4800 rpm. Mercedes-Benz debuted a coupe variant in October 2000 (launching in 2001), labelled the C-Class SportCoupé and given the internal designation CL203 (see below). There was a version of this car that was made in Korea. Six-speed manual gearboxes were now standard for the entire range, except the C 320. The diesels now featured common rail direct fuel injection and variable geometry turbochargers. Most of the engines were carried over from the W202, but the C 320 was exclusive, offering 160 kW (218 PS). The sedan debuted with a range of inline-four and V6 petrol engines and inline-four and -five diesels. The second generation C-Class was unveiled on March 21, 2000, going on sale starting in September 2000. Testing began in 1997, with development concluding in 2000. Design patents were filed on 20 April 1998 and 4 March 1999. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W203) is the internal designation for a range of compact executive cars manufactured and marketed by DaimlerChrysler from 2000 to early 2007, as the second generation of the C-Class - in sedan/saloon, three-door liftback (marketed as the SportCoupé and sub-designated CL203) and station wagon/estate (sub-designated S-203) body styles.ĭesign work on the W203 C-Class began in mid-1994, with the final design being approved in December 1995 by the executive board.

Babbage developed some two dozen programs for the analytical engine between 18, and one program later. There were three separate readers for the three types of cards. Three different types of punch cards were used: one for arithmetical operations, one for numerical constants, and one for load and store operations, transferring numbers from the store to the arithmetical unit or back. Loops and conditional branching were possible, and so the language as conceived would have been Turing-complete as later defined by Alan Turing. The programming language to be employed by users was akin to modern day assembly languages. Like the central processing unit (CPU) in a modern computer, the mill would rely upon its own internal procedures, to be stored in the form of pegs inserted into rotating drums called "barrels", to carry out some of the more complex instructions the user's program might specify. Later drawings (1858) depict a regularised grid layout. Initially (1838) it was conceived as a difference engine curved back upon itself, in a generally circular layout, with the long store exiting off to one side. An arithmetic unit (the "mill") would be able to perform all four arithmetic operations, plus comparisons and optionally square roots. There was to be a store (that is, a memory) capable of holding 1,000 numbers of 50 decimal digits each (ca. It employed ordinary base-10 fixed-point arithmetic. The machine would also be able to punch numbers onto cards to be read in later. For output, the machine would have a printer, a curve plotter, and a bell. The input, consisting of programs ("formulae") and data, was to be provided to the machine via punched cards, a method being used at the time to direct mechanical looms such as the Jacquard loom. The work on the design of the analytical engine started around 1833. ĭuring this project, Babbage realised that a much more general design, the analytical engine, was possible. Construction of this machine was never completed Babbage had conflicts with his chief engineer, Joseph Clement, and ultimately the British government withdrew its funding for the project. Foreground: 'operational cards', for inputting instructions background: 'variable cards', for inputting dataīabbage's first attempt at a mechanical computing device, the Difference Engine, was a special-purpose machine designed to tabulate logarithms and trigonometric functions by evaluating finite differences to create approximating polynomials. Design Two types of punched cards used to program the machine. It was not until 1941 that Konrad Zuse built the first general-purpose computer, Z3, more than a century after Babbage had proposed the pioneering analytical engine in 1837. The analytical engine is one of the most successful achievements of Charles Babbage.īabbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding. In other words, the structure of the analytical engine was essentially the same as that which has dominated computer design in the electronic era. The analytical engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference engine, which was a design for a simpler mechanical calculator. The analytical engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage.
