So, How to Build an Astrolabe: Part Three
Plate to represent the Horizon, Almucantar, and Twilight Arcs

The plate currently shows three concentric circles for the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and the equator. This next part builds off the base plate and adds more arcs and circles

The middle plate--known as the Tympan--is perhaps the most complex piece of the entire astrolabe, so this is part three of constructing the plate and only part two of specifically constructing the tympan plate


The circles on the face of the plate represent “almucantar” and twilight arcs.
This is a step-by-step guide to the complete construction of an astrolabe that I think might exist. At least, in any accessible form.
My goal is for this to be as accessible as possible for any kind of reader, so if there are any question, free free to reach out
🚀 Enjoy! Stay safe and keep learning, fellow chrononauts 🚀

Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.
Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen
A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death
#hellsing#alucard#kouta hirano#translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent#fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online#i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands#the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake#anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool#if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first#and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf#i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia#then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point#but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page#and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh#the hellsing brainrot runs deep#also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491#except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo#the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002#which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch#sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less#it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was#maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

Dont put me up on the cross but i had no idea testament had a different 2d in ggx
Ive never seen this sprite in my life
#i didnt even learn this through dustloop im looking through the ggx dreamcast guidebook. and i was like What the fuck is that.#fun fact they misprinted zato’s name as sol badguy on 1 of the pages.#also i guess this isnt a Dust its a Sweep but whatever man. its gonna die anyway.#their ggx 2h became their 2d… i do remember seeing that when i messed around with the prototype.#maybe i assumed it was a prototype oddity. and never figured out how to sweep. its okay though#the kat goes meow

#post cain surgery is from when i was looking at some japanese ffiv guidebook thing online (i don't remember where i found it)#and putting screenshots into google translate to see if any pages said anything interesting#i remember there being other silly sounding things but that was the only one i ended up saving for some reason#anyways#final fantasy iv#s0dabeach post

kinda surprised to see the dipper+mabel guidebook being genuinely hated instead of being something to be indifferent about lmao
like sure its not a lore book and seems to be targeted towards the younger audience, but it was harmless and had a bunch of foreshadowing to future eps and had character trivia...?
#its not like that actual cashgrab book with none of the writers involved and#infamously had a screenshot that showed the media player ui that everyone mocked#also the guidebook having stan's shamtotals that he's now selling as gimmicky novelty items#along with industrial soap showing that he now knows how to scam folks way better now#tbh a book thats charming but i never had the urge to read again was the choose your own adventure one#mostly cos i was a bit disappointed that it was just the kids and blendin lol#couldve been way more fun with the rest of the cast#the axolotl page was on the internet anyway too

they’re putting the fucking poster on the cover of the ruin guidebook
#bet the page of Bonnie’s room is gonna be some shit like#‘here we can see how good of friends Freddy and Bonnie were’#not like I’m expecting outright confirmation but it’d still be beyond tone deaf#actually scratch that if it’s by the same people who made the other shitass guidebooks they might neglect to mention it entirely#which might be for the best tbh#fronnie#glamrock fronnie

stage gentaro is just letting his imagination run wild in this particular scene lmao but if ramuda was spliced from nayuta theory is real, what are the chances nayuta is currently 44 years old lol
#this is vee speaking#i like the 4 yr gap hc between rei and nayuta personally which comes from flipping ramuda’s age numbers lol and that’d make her 42#so that way age differences between the yamadas looks like 2(1️⃣➡️2️⃣) 3(2️⃣➡️3️⃣) and 4(0️⃣➡️♾️) lol#but i appreciate stage gentaro throwing darts at a wall and hoping something sticks LOL#i’ve seen spoilers about some of the guidebook contents about character portraits and stuff like some aren’t in colour#and why don’t you just gut me alive kr like you tryna squeeze out a third guidebook or some shit lol?????#i am crossing my fingers we get a design at least for nayuta but i’m doubtful LOL#I WANT TO SEE YAMADA MAMA THO LOL#maybe one day we can get her an official page on the hypmic site one day with yotsutsuji lol#like she’s the one who came up with concept for the mics lol talk about the most important hypmic character#it ain’t just rei but super scientist power couple rei and nayuta lmao

whenever i talk about kingdom hearts ppl keep asking me if i can follow the plot and i do know whats going on but i am EXTREMELY biased because i would watch my stepdad play kh2 on the ps2 when it came out originally. i still have the complete kh2 guidebook with most of the stickers, which i saved up my own money to buy.
#stuff#original kh2 guidebook not final mix#plus my days and re:coded saves on tje smallest storage sd card known to man#i would literally sit and look at the drive form pages cuz i thought they were so cool

So, How to Build an Astrolabe: Part Two
Plate to represent the Tropics and the Equator

The construction continues into part two!
The middle plate--known as the Tympan--is perhaps the most complex piece of the entire astrolabe, so I am going to be breaking it into a few parts to make it more readable
The first part starts with just three concentric circles for the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Equator.
No math needed!
This is a step-by-step guide to the complete construction of an astrolabe that I think might exist. At least, in any accessible form.
My goal is for this to be as accessible as possible for any kind of reader, so if there are any question, free free to reach out

crazy find at a retro store today




it's the versus books "perfect" guide book for silver and gold! no rips or anything aside from the cover coming off the spine a little, it's barely damaged for being 25 years old and really cool for me. sadly no poster, but that's expected. got it for $60 and i'm almost apprehensive about touching it so much because i don't want my oily hands to get all over the pages
#alpha barks#this book has a page on bulbapedia that's unfinished#i may go and fill it out sometime#there are quite a few old guidebooks for gold and silver.. i'd like to get more of them. especially the nintendo power books#versus also has a perfect crystal guide book but that one is even more expensive

Well, one thing about taking on my church's library is that I'm finally actually being forced to learn at least part of the Dewey Decimal system. Eventually. I'm still so confused.
#faith talks#i've never figured it out tbh#and I'm beginning to understand why#the unabridged 200s guidebook is 84 pages long alone#like holy cow#one day#i will actually have the catalogue fully updated#and can move on to sorting the church history info#cause that is stored in the library too
