What is cadence?

[Nigelnaturist]

Within reason tho. Dont ask questions like "is pluto a dog or a planet?"

Cadence is important because..............well I dont know. But I find that cycling at a certain cadence is more efficient. If im going flat out, just like on my motorbike I rev the nuts off (spin the pedals like a mad man) rather than stay at my regular cadence in a higher gear. I have no idea how fast I spin the pedals because I dont monitor it but I find what works best for me. It will probably vary from person to person.

It got demoted.

134340, originally named Pluto. Planetesimal. Stripped of its title as a planet, because of steroid use.

There are several catagories of planets.

Gas giant/ice giants
Rocky
Dwarf
Exo planets
Rogue (dont know if any of these have been discovered)

Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet and many say because of this, its no longer a planet. But it still is a planet, just of a different classification. Thats why its called "dwarf planet" and not "big icy pebble" or somethin. Its a bit like saying a tiny todger isnt a todger.

I know, and it was/is the only planet I haven't seen in real time through a scope ect. I can even separate (just) the moons of Jupiter with my 210mm lens. I did a little astro photography last year.
Just keeping it barely on topic cadence applied to planets is how often they orbit the sun a year, only 3 do this. The others take longer than a year.
I did take the picture in the background with that scope.

Cadence is addictive

This is my cadence goal:

Looks like me when I'm descending on my fixed.

Pluto is essentially a dot and a pretty faint one at that through a decent sized scope. If you're lucky and know the sky very well, you may just be able to make out over a star.

I know, about 20 years ago I had a ten inch scope, and knew where to look, I couldn't be certain, though I did see galaxies in Aurgia that are 33 million light years away, so far that if the dinosaurs could send a radio message saying help, and some life in one of those galaxies could respond, we would be waiting another 1,000,000 years for an answer.

That's impressive, As auriga is in the plane of the Milky Way I was unaware of any visible galaxies. There isn't any in the messier or NGC/IC catalgoues.

Just one there's loads, HD037200 apparent magnitude 8.83 easy enough in a 10" scope, as I say these were the furthest things that I know I saw,this may well have been one of the three I saw, it is placed about half way between Capella and Theta Aurigae
even saw the impact results on Jupiter of Shoemaker-Levi 9 in 94.
The highlighted area is the region I recall, the little green circles are galaxies brighter than 18 magnitude.

And if memory serves me, they are in the Uranometria star atlas.

Can you post a link up with some info on these galaxies? None of my books or searching online comes up with anything that would be remotely visible through a scope.

I have got the recent info from Starry Night. I see what you mean, It wasn't M31-33 either, that crossed my mind briefly till I remembered what they look like. These were definitely galaxies between the two above mentioned stars.
This is an 11.73 galaxy in the same region, pgc2165804.
