The banking property was valued at $140,000, so that the bank sustains a considerable loss. The insurance of the First National Bank $65,000, was paid yesterday.

GARRISON, settling up losses, and up to today, Mr. SHIRLEY, special agents, have been in Paterson since Monday at the office of Henry J.

The list is the first that has been prepared, and it is believed that it includes pretty nearly all the firms that were burned out:

This does not include professional men, office tenants, or residences. THE PRESS gives below a tabulated list of the commercial interest of this city that were burned out, with an estimate of the loss sustained by each business house. The companies have 60 days in which to pay losses if they choose, but none is taking advantage of this clause, and the different companies seem to be vying with one another in settling. There was a large influx of fire underwriters and representatives of companies again this morning by early trains, and the work of settling losses is being vigorously pushed. Still, I'm more interested in the stars (and the women) than the sparkles.Įdit: I realise that any unresolvable point source of light can only ever be observed as a diffraction pattern.Article from “ The Press ,” Friday, February 21, 1902Įstimated Losses of Building Owners and Tradesmenįoots up $2,689,550 Without Dwelling and Offices I tend to find diffraction spikes distracting, in much the same way that sparkly dresses worn by beautiful women can be distracting. Quite a foreign concept to me.) All I did know was that they are unavoidable with certain telescope constructions, based on the kind of mounting of the secondary mirror or diagonal, or similar. (I hadn't even considered that they might have been added after the fact. I appreciate all the comments on the diffraction spikes.
That said, the saturated (or nearly saturated) stars that show diffraction spikes might be slightly less elongated, suggesting a masking technique that resulted in fewer of them being stacked- not an unreasonable thing to do. Since the diffraction spikes are at 45° to the direction of elongation, we'd expect the broadening to be the same for both axes, meaning there is no simple way to detect it.
Perhaps Damian can chip in here with some more technical information about the exposure and processing.Ĭousin Ricky wrote:The big question (the “incongruity”) is why the diffraction spikes are not smeared to the extent that the stars are elongated. My guess is that the tracking was on the stars, and the slight elongation is an artifact of the stacking method used to try and minimize trailing for both the stars and comet at the same time (which isn't something that can be done perfectly). That's more than the slight elongation seen in the stars (which I guess is what you are calling "tracking motion"). That corresponds to about 90 arcseconds of drift of the comet against the background stars, or about 6 pixels when looking at the full-sized image. I didn't find any technical information for this image, but based on other images I assume around a 15-minute total exposure time. The telescope Damian uses has a spider-mounted secondary, so diffraction spikes are normal. I don't think the diffraction spikes are artificial. It seems incongruent that all of the stars have tracking motion but the diffraction spikes are clear and crisp. Geckzilla wrote:I presume the diffraction spikes were added for artistic effect.
