simple timeline of coffee Panama geisha

Coffea arabica cultivar Geisha T. 2722

This variety was originally grown in coffee forests in Ethiopia ( probably 1,900-meter plateau north of the town Gesha in the region of Bench Maji and Goldiya, (gori forest ?)

1930s:

A letter from the British Consulate dated 1936 makes numerous references to Geisha Mountain and Geisha coffee. East 39 deg 29 min North 5 deg 32 min is Bale Mountains National Park, Harenna Forest, but not sure which co-ordinate system was used)

10 pounds of coffee seeds collected by Captain Walley

1936:

planted in Kenya

sent to the Lyamungu research station in Tanzania. accession number Geisha VC-496

1953:

arrived CATIE (Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza) in Costa Rica

logged as accession T.2722

1960s:

Don Pachi Serracin (Callejón Seco district , Boquete) distributed throughout Panama via CATIE after it had been recognized for tolerance to coffee leaf rust.

1978:

First seeds were planted in Boquete on advice of Franciso Serracin senior

Found that Geisha have to be planted above 1600 metres to show it's unique flavours

2003 : "re-discovery"

Francisco José Serracín and Andrés López, accredited as “Catadores Estellas ”(Star Cupper. aka Q grader), as well as Daniel Peterson tasted Café Geisha T.2722, commented “citric acidity that is perceived from its fragrance and aroma, with a body and a balanced acidity highlighting the fruity flavors that the cup has such as papaya, peach and a touch of pineapple ”.

2004: "competition"

the Peterson family of Boquete(Hacienda Esmeralda) Panama, entered it into the "Best of Panama" competition and won

2005:

green bean auction with USD 21,270.52 for 8 boxes ( 50 kg ea), or over 20 dollars per pound

genetics:

Recent genetic testing by World Coffee Research (WCR) provides evidence that there are many Geshas growing that are not a genetic match to the CATIE sample. That sample, labelled T2722, is commonly referred to now as Panama(nian) Ge(i)sha

Now there are more than 50 coffee farms in SCAP

CMOS sensor trends and astrophotography, from amateur astronomers perspective

Nowadays, even in low light conditions, digital camera can quality pictures with higher ISO, noise and hot pixels have been gradually reduced. Sony has introduced back illumination process for consumer market. Sony BSI sensors evolved from Exmor to now Exmor RS( stacked) technology. This stacked technology allows further chip size reduction, which has strong demands in smartphone camera market. Digital astrophotography is also benefited from such advances, utilising Back Side Illumination technology Exmor: Within the CMOS sensor, it outputs low-noise digital signals by "on-chip column AD conversion" and "dual noise reduction" to suppress noise in the first half of the process In low light conditions, when a wide aperture is desirable to collect as much light as possible. At apertures wider than f/2.0, back-illuminated Exmor R sensors are significantly more efficient at collecting light than conventional, front-illuminated sensor...

ultrafast rendezvous to ISS

14 Oct 2020, being the first to use a new “ultrafast” rendezvous” scheme with the ISS. Following a flawless ascent to the correct orbit, Soyuz 2 .1a , Soyuz MS-17 caught up with the orbiting laboratory in only two orbits (three hours), halving the time it takes for crew to get to the Station. The three space travelers of the Soyuz MS-17 mission launched on a six-month mission the International Space Station. previous 3/4 orbit rendezvous: Soyuz MS-16 4 orbit rendezvous A three-orbit profile was deemed possible without major flight design changes after inauguration of the Soyuz 2-1A rocket that provides a much higher orbit injection accuracy than its predecessors and would allow the two correction maneuvers on Orbit #2 to be eliminated while the Automated Rendezvous Phase would still remain untouched. The deletion of the Orbit #2 maneuvers was expected to slightly tighten the already restrictive phase angle window from and upper limit of 30-35° to 25-28°...
