![]() ![]() Lanzetta will discuss the project, the search for Earth-like planets, and describe the observations that Condor has obtained over its first 18 months of operation. The research objectives of the project include studying (1) the low-surface-brightness outer regions of the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and other nearby and distant galaxies, (2) transiting planets, gravitational microlensing events, and stars at a very rapid cadence, and (3) the faint and extended ejecta of explosive and massive stars. ![]() The telescope has been in operation ever since, autonomously collecting observations every clear night. The telescope was deployed to a very dark site near Animas, New Mexico in the spring of 2021 and was commissioned and calibrated over the course of the summer and autumn of 2021. The Condor Array Telescope is an “array telescope” that is made up of six off-the-shelf refracting telescopes coupled with six off-the-shelf large-format CMOS camera all mounted onto a common mount. Lanzetta.Ī new type of astronomical telescope-built by an international team of students and researchers-has attracted significant scientific and popular attention. Hamptons Observatory and co-host, Amagansett Library, are honored to present a free, virtual lecture by eminent astronomer, Professor Kenneth M. You can quickly adjust to dampen just the right amount of ‘road’ vibration.Registration is required for this free, virtual event. Tested here is the +/-6° in 100mm.Īll-in-all, this is a great choice for a stem and with its vast adjustability, can be used as your road stem or your gravel stem. ![]() You also have a choice of 15 different firmness options as well as 4 different stem lengths for +/-6° and 1 stem length for +/-30°. ![]() This is a very simple stem to assemble and really does absorb shock from the road and/or gravel trails. It not only includes a detailed test of the SHOCKSTOP but goes into the history of suspension stems. While I was writing this review, I found this article which I highly recommend you read. But, that is what is so great about this stem, many, many possible configurations! If I would be riding the TCR Advanced exclusively as a gravel bike, I would go even softer, starting with 110 (50+60) and maybe even going to a single Black 90. For my riding, I thought the recommended 150 durometer (70+80) was a little too firm so I dropped down to 130 durometer (60+70) which worked out better for me, especially since I am still using this as a road bike. The great thing about this stem is that you can fine tune it to meet your needs.Ībove: Select your elastomers based on your weightīelow: Select the orientation that you would like your stem to be then drop in the elastomer piece(s). With the SHOCKSTOP stem, you can go all the way down to an ultra-soft 50 durometer to an ultra-firm 170 durometer. Again, this is a recommended starting point and after a ride or two, you can swap out elastomers to increase or decrease the amount of flex resistance. At my weight of 185lbs, REDSHIFT recommended an 80 and a 70 (green and blue). Included was a +/-6° x 100mm Redshift Sports Shockstop stem.Īt first glance, the instructions seemed a little daunting, but, breaking these down into small steps, all they really were saying is to (a) select your weight then (b) match to the recommended elastomer pieces and (c) place elastomer piece(s) in TOP PART OF STEM OPENING ONLY, NEVER PLACE IN THE BOTTOM SLOTS.Įach elastomer piece has a different durometer, or hardness rating from 50 to 90. After opening the box, I laid all of the parts and directions out on the workbench. ![]()
