The last meeting was well attended and Fred Lewis gave a demonstration. Fred is working on a program which shows the relationship between elements in a cluster. The demonstration shows the changing orbital relationship during motion of different velocities of various elements in the cluster. Fred also had some reproductions of pictures produced by a […]
The coming meeting was postponed to accommodate members who would otherwise not have been able to attend. It will be held at my house (Fred Lewis) because demonstrations that are planned will use too much equipment, including three computers, VCR etc. not easily transported. In keeping with the traditions of our little club the next […]
A computer model has been developed to simulate globular star clusters. Programs have been run on the TS-1000, Timex 2068 and an IBM compatible PC to compare speed and graphics. These fascinating structures consist of up to a million stars in mutually interacting orbits that form spherical clusters that are typically 150 light years in […]
This demo Is an attempt to duplicate the complex and beautiful fractal patterns from Scientific American, August 1985 using only a TS-1000 and 2040 printer. In addition a simulated Hi-Re graphic technique is demonstrated involving photo- copying a large composite print with size reduction to hide pixel detail.
