A video or photograph at 1x optical zoom is not comparable to the naked eye.

You don't listen.

It isn't relevant. There is difference between zooming in and out and noting the resolution and zooming in on it and watching it dip in full view.

Ok but have u seen video of this being done

It is relevant, because he's making a comparison to the naked eye... Without using the naked eye.

I hear what ur saying but it’s not even close to being able to see when zoomed all the way out

Ahh, but that's where resolution comes in.

K I gotta go I’ll talk to u guys tomorrow

But I am focusing on the sinking ship effect here. What they are saying doesn't nullify it in any way

No it doesn't

Still if it was a sphere the proof would be there but it isn’t

Bye guys

It is though

Byeee

I’ll be back for more tomorrow lol

Last time I looked out on an ocean has been awhile

So I honestly don't know the scale of it in terms of what we can resolve

With my eyes

I need to buy a decent lens or telescope.

There is a limit to what the eye can see, it's such a small lens.

I think I might just buy a P1000

I have no incentive to do so currently

It has ridiculous zoom. I already have a camera with a huge resolution, but the problem is that the sensor is full frame, so in order to get any decent zoom you need a HUGE lense, or telescope.

They're not that expensive tbh

Depends if you'll use it often or not.

I wouldn't

It would be once in a blue moon for me if I got one

Because the only matter of interest I would have is observing distant objects in some locations, if say, I travel.
Where I live, there is trees and hills and various obstructions.
Maybe some astrophotography but I'd get bored of it

It would be good for me to find a hobby tho

I took this with my camera. Unfortunately it's not the full resolution, raw photo which I can't get until I fix my computer.

It's the milky way, with Sag A* in the middle, on the left one of the bright objects is Saturn. Not sure which though.

What do u think of this information

It explains what’s happening with the boats going over the curve

Made sense to me

My favorite part was at the end when he plays with the color and contrast and u can still see the boat

Idk how after watching that u can still think the boat went over the curve. Or at least not question if it’s really going over the curve or not

I think it demands more investigation

Did u watch the video ?
