But it does NOT apply to the brightness of stars, for a very interesting and curious reason… At any magnification below this, the brightness of the image is a constant value which is exactly the same as you would see unaided.ġ) This analysis and frustrating conclusion apply to relatively large objects like nebulae, galaxies and (most) planets. (Young people have a pupil which can dilate to 7mm, older folk can’t dilate more than about 5mm). So this is WORSE than before.Īnd so – in summary – for any telescope / eye combination, you can divide the size of the object lens, by the size of your pupil to give the maximum magnification you can apply before the image starts to get fainter. So what if we tried a 200x magnification? Well that makes the exit pupil 2.5mm across (which is fine – all of the light energy now goes through the 5mm pupil of your eye) but the larger image is now 4x fainter because of the 2x increase in magnification. Only a quarter will pass through into your eye. Most of the light energy is spilling uselessly onto your iris. So what if we magnify only 50x? Won’t this make the image 4x brighter? Well yes, it would EXCEPT that the column of light leaving the eyepiece is now 10mm in diameter – which is too wide to fit through your 5mm wide eyes. This assumes perfect, lossless telescope optics of course. At this magnification the brightness of the image is reduced 10,000 fold – so the image brightness is then just the same as seen with the naked eye. Obviously, the objective lens is 100 times wider than a human pupil, and so collects 10,000 times more light than the human eye (as the light collecting area is 10,000 times bigger)īut to shrink that 500mm diameter column of light into a 5mm exit pupil requires a magnification of 100x. Now for the maths, which I’ll keep as simple as possible. ![]() More magnification means a bigger image on the retina, but with a smaller exit pupil, and vice versa. Hopefully, it will already be obvious that this ‘spreading’ makes an image appear dimmer.Ģ) The telescope has to shrink the wide, cylindrical column of light entering the objective lens into a far smaller column of light exiting the eyepiece (the width of this narrow column of light is actually known as the exit pupil), The role of the eyepiece is to focus and magnify the image, and telescopes often have a choice of eyepieces providing different magnifications.Īny telescope has to do at least the following two basic things…ġ) The telescope has to magnify the image – spreading the collected light over a wider area of your retina. ![]() The role of the objective lens is to collect as much light as possible, and the larger it is, the more light it can collect. There are other designs using mirrors and combinations of mirrors and lenses too, but they all suffer from the same fundamental limitation. The reason why is a bit difficult to explain but bear with me, and I shall try.Īstronomical telescopes typically have a large lens at the front called the objective lens, and an arrangement of smaller lenses at the back (or side) which you look through called the eyepiece. ![]() Most people are very surprised by this statement, and many assert that it cannot possibly be true. No telescope makes distributed objects such as NEBULAE, GALAXIES and (most) PLANETS appear brighter than they can be seen with the naked eye. Sadly, the truth is that the full beauty of many of these images is only revealed using long exposure photography, and what can be seen through a telescope with the eye has some fundamental limitations, which apply no matter how big and expensive your telescope is. We are all used to seeing fabulous, colourful images from space, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope or from some of the world’s best observatories, and I know this prompts many people to want to buy their own telescopes with expectations of seeing these delights first hand, only to result in disappointment and disillusionment. ![]() ![]() Milestone desired to create such a game after realizing that although they specialized in sim racers that was a "niche of the niche" and the racing genre itself was quite crowded with lead game designer, Federico Cardini telling Polygon "could we make a game to the level of, I don’t know, Gran Turismo? Technically speaking, yes. The game was developed by Italian developer Milestone, the company behind the MotoGP games and the Ride series, and marks the first console game based around the property since 2013 Milestone pitched the idea to Mattel in 2018 although they didn't expect them to take up the offer. As of April 2023, the game has sold over 2 million copies and has amassed 8 million players across all platforms as well as getting a sequel in 2023. Overall, Hot Wheels Unleashed was seen as a solid racing game that was let down by its lack of polish.ĭespite its flaws, Hot Wheels Unleashed was a commercial success. ![]() Many critics praised the game's visuals, physics, and gameplay, while others criticized its lack of content and online features. The Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X versions hold scores of 70/100, 72/100, and 73/100, respectively, based on 39, 35, and 36 critic reviews. On review aggregator Metacritic, the PC and PlayStation 5 versions hold scores of 78/100 and 79/100, respectively, based on 45 and 39 critic reviews. Hot Wheels Unleashed received generally favorable reviews from critics. The game supports up to 12 players in an online session, though players can also compete with another player in a local split-screen multiplayer mode. The game also features a career mode, a time trial, and a track editor. 66 different cars were available at launch. ![]() The vehicles featured in the game can be extensively customized. ![]() In the game, the player assumes control of vehicles from the Hot Wheels franchise, and races against other opponents in miniature tracks set in various everyday locations and environments, such as a garage, kitchen, and bedroom.

I would not necessarily go out of my way to emulate any of that but at the same time 486DX100 and all the trimmings using peak of CRT resolutions with voodoo and real genuine soundblaster/creative labs is also not so much a thing me or mine ever really experienced bar the occasional trip to a rich relative which means I might well actually want to operate in the "good enough"/"Just As Good™" regime. My machines were likely as not to have cyrix and later AMD processors, a sound blaster clone running the finest £10 computer fayre speakers, my CD drive had an error on it that made audio tracks become what I can only describe as high speed modem noise after a few minutes (to this day it means I play heroes of might and magic battles as fast as humanly possible so as to dodge it, this despite that drive being a CD burner as well that died now decades ago), my graphics card (I just about managed to squeak out of onboard) only said voodoo on my wishlist and while I had used a laser mouse that was early enough to need a fancy mouse pad to make it work I still had ball mice at a point when Vista was a nearer than not future thing the magazines were talking about. not as old it is not like I was rich and having all the fancy gear.

I usually take it as a given that I will be ending up on (originally a site made to get games working on widescreen, today quite a bit more) and probably to have it be nice, anything in line with that then being within normal parameters as far as I am concerned. I can't really hear high pitches any more so that might be part of it (actually makes diagnosis hard for some things but different discussion there) but actual coils going crazy or just fans spinning 100% because bad software? What causes the latter probably causes the former as well if it is a thing so you could probably attack it from that front, or do some kind of max resource allocation setup to have it appear as far slower.Įqually if it is an inductor that is whining is this not a matter for some solastic or maybe even hot snot (glue gun glue) to take it out of whatever resonance it finds itself in - if it does it here then it will probably also do it for modern games when it gets pushed hard?Īs far as old games and running on modern windows. ![]() ![]() ![]() I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things Seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like: of the which Lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, The works of the flesh are manifest, which are these Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannotĭo the things that ye would.

There are so many more books that are completely free though, so paying isn’t required at all.
