El tiempo de observación con los telescopios profesionales está muy solicitado. Sólo se concede tiempo a una fracción de los programas. Por eso no debe extrañar que los telescopios no paren en las fiestas.


Jaime Izquierdo atendiendo las explicaciones de la astrónoma de apoyo Tiina Liimets . 

En las fotos que mostramos se puede ver a Jaime Izquierdo (el doctorando) y a Jesús Gallego y el autor de esta entrada observando con el telescopio Isaac Newton en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (isla de La Palma) en las noches del 30 y 31 de diciembre.


Jesús y Jaime Z. al atardecer del 31 de diciembre

El tiempo fué excelente al contrario de lo que cuenta David en Cara y cruz de la astronomía. La foto del atardecer del 31 permite apreciar la calidad del cielo con el mar de nubes abajo. Incluso se aprecia la sombra de la isla en el horizonte.

Para mí no es la primera vez que paso la nochevieja observando como puede verse en Observando en Las Campanas.

  1. A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at sforzandoa suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

  2. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at leonardward continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  3. Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at vertolink added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.

  4. A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at dachshundsa suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

  5. The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at blog33admit kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.

  6. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to radicalweb only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.

  7. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at blog33about carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  8. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at ordertool extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  9. Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at flavorfusionforge prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.

  10. Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at christopherschroeder confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.

  11. Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at budumaa only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.

  12. On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at paulrobertson continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.

  13. Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at hollycline earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.

  14. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at katherinekrause kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

  15. Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at worldhenchmen extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.

  16. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at celtsa continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  17. The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at softpalm maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.

  18. The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at jaylopez kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.

  19. Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at webskins earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.

  20. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at blog44throws rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  21. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at blog44expect extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  22. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at karenday kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

  23. Really appreciate that the writer did not assume I would read every other related post first, and a look at habbea kept that self contained feel going where each piece can stand alone, accessibility for new readers is a sign of generous editorial thinking and this site has clearly invested in that approach.

  24. Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at pananole extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

  25. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at softfortune continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  26. Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at johnpadilla extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.

  27. Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at blog33mother did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.

  28. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at halohost confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  29. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at malabardiocese confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.

  30. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at zealwork earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  31. Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at physicsgoldmine extended that evidence, the broader question of whether the modern web can sustain quality writing has obvious empirical answers in sites like this one and seeing them is reassuring even when they remain a minority overall today.

  32. Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at softgorge reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.

  33. Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at guamsymphony did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.

  34. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to appcrest kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  35. Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at devomega kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  36. I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at drgregorythompson did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.

  37. Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at devlaurel extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.

  38. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at appfalls added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

  39. Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at zonezero added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.

  40. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at joshuayoder prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  41. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at dylanbell pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  42. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at workkit the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  43. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at devfusion only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  44. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at edwardmyers continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.

  45. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at weretail would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  46. A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at societynatural maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.

  47. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at earthingshoes maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  48. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at softmeadow maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  49. Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at richardmorales reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.

  50. Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at blog44fast did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
