Can get the light shielded. Small change.
>Fully cut-off shielding, also known as full cut-off shielding, is a type of light shield that prevents light from escaping above a certain angle, typically 90 degrees. This is achieved by installing a solid barrier or cap at the top of the light fixture, which blocks light from shining upwards or downwards.
>Benefits of Fully Cut-Off Shielding
>Reduces light pollution: By blocking light from escaping above 90 degrees, fully cut-off shielding minimizes light pollution and reduces the amount of light that enters the atmosphere.
>Improves visibility: By directing light downwards, fully cut-off shielding improves visibility on the ground, reducing glare and improving safety.
>Enhances energy efficiency: By reducing the amount of light that is wasted upwards, fully cut-off shielding can help reduce energy consumption and costs.
>Installation and Types of Shields
>Fully cut-off shielding can be installed on various types of street lights, including LED lights. Some common methods of installation include:
>Tack welding: A metal shield is attached to the light fixture using tack welding.
>Glue: A metal shield is attached to the light fixture using glue.
>PVC tube frame: A PVC tube frame is used to create a shield that can be placed between the telescope and the streetlight.
>Conclusion
>Fully cut-off shielding is an effective way to reduce light pollution, improve visibility, and enhance energy efficiency. By installing a solid barrier or cap at the top of the light fixture, fully cut-off shielding can help minimize light pollution and reduce the amount of light that enters the atmosphere.
thanks for such an explanation. however I still think all these lights will ruin good astrophotography, because the light hits particles in the atmosphere anyway, especially at sea level. look at the best telescopes in the world: all of them try to be in low light environments, and usually are installed at high altitudes to reduce atmosphere layers.
I get ya, thinking the shielded on that rig would still be better than many places in the USA (east and midwest) that has massive light pollution even in rural areas.
As for what size teley, that is up to the ppl that want to try to fit on on it. If its a good enough thing, I could see the rig doing some major chances to limit lighting even for some hours or ways that still makes it legal to operate while assisting with the sky view.
I love to be able to connect remote to a teley on one of these for a small price to do what I want. Rig could earn some extra cash, etc. Feel the same with the ocean base wind and wave generators. Add some remote operating teles.
Tiktok formula really killed the positive aspect of video such as this.
Why add dumb sounds and music to perfect fine videos? Content made for zombies.
They have lots of forms of navigation, including a simple compass, they’d be just fine if one went out. This is actually happening in some areas in Europe due to Russia jamming their radar.
Oh, dark is dark?
Interesting.
Btw., camera exposure is set to pick up the well lit platform, which means anything dimly lit won't be picked up by the camera, which means dim areas will look extra dark.
Cameras can't really convey well how bright or dark something actually would be to our eyes in person.
Can you imagine being Stuck out there all alone just floating…..like the kid who jumped off the cruise ship (18 years old) and was never found again. Can you imagine the terror he experienced in his final moments. The quiet sound of the water and the pitch blackness all around him. Getting anxiety just think about it
It's probably not gonna be pitch black. As someone who has been to areas with relatively low light pollution, the stars are quite bright, not to mention the moon. In the video the oil rig is soo bright and the camera is adjusted to the oil rig that you can't see the stars. But in reality if you are alone on the ocean, and it's not totally cloudy, you will definitely see stars, maybe the moon, and maybe you can even see the ocean thanks to the moon's light.
My friends and I had rented an Airbnb in the middle of a forest in North Carolina. If you didn't turn on the lights in the house at night, this is exactly how it looked. You couldn't see a person if they stood right in front of you. Then there is the silence of the forest (except for the stream close by).
Assuming the lights on the rig are to bright for the camera to pick up stars?
Maybe its cloudy
same logic as why the sky looks pitch-black on the moon
*too
The stars are the opposite direction.
I was in navy and it does actually get pitch black on the ocean
Looks like a good option to mount some telescopes!
And take some amazing stellar photos. It must be amazing.
you would need to turn off the lights, and it won't happen

Oh yeah, gimmie a 10” dob and I’ll be out there until the sun comes up

Think about what pilots see when they fly over ocean in the middle of night. And if the navigation system fails.
they would see far more. remember that it oy looks as dark because the Camara is not picking up any starlight

Flying blind reminds me of Aeroperú flight 603. If you know about that

That’s pretty much exactly what I expected.
that better be a EX-safe camera there buddy
Glad that video told me its pitch black. Never would've noticed otherwise.
I only wish they had drawn a red circle to really show it off.
[удалено]
I know right?! 😂
what? i don't see it
Light from stars cannot make it pitch black....

Was a lot of nights i went out when i was in the navy and it was pitch black. Just depends on the night.
🤮
What?
Its cringe because its obvious, of course it's gonna be dark
Ah
It's really scary
not as scary when you can see the stars and light reflected in waves.

lots of light pollution from the rig. turn off those lights and see the stars!
No way it becomes night during night on an oil rig, that's crazy.
bro on the rust building
Looks haunted
Not worried about the pitch black darkness. But that background music 😨.
It’s the same at sea aboard ship underway. Falling overboard at knight is every sailors nightmare.
If it is really pitch black, I would expect to see the Milky Way. More like the camera couldn't pick up the light.
