Sirius WATCH in the Eastern Sky. Any volunteers? | |
| Seer777 Ride the wings of the mind  User ID: 3018467  United States12/05/2011 02:41 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For the last 3 months I have been anxiously awaiting the rising of Sirius. While it has been rising for some time, to see it at a somewhat decent hour is somewhat recent. I live in the PNW and it has been overcast for months so my efforts to view Sirius has consistently met with frustration. However, tonight the sky is clear. Sirius is the very bright star(brightest in our night sky) behind Orion's back leg. Right now it seems to be pulsating incredibly, throwing off bursts of red and blue and white. It is really awesome to behold. It reminds me of a member here from Australia who mentioned seeing a star acting strangely in September when Sirius would still be seen in the Southern Hemisphere before Sirius rose in the Northern Hemisphere on the Jewish New Year September 29, 2011. I was hoping some others would have a look (a long look), and describe the behavior of Sirius from YOUR view point. Find Orion's belt in the Eastern sky, then look behind his leg. Really watch how Sirius is behaving. I believe Sirius may be a key to the puzzle. Can anyone get video?

I always tell people to go to a dark sky area and use a telescope for a real perspective, as the human eye will trick the brain when looking through the atmosphere.

I would LOVE to get a 0 light video or images if you have the means. This is 4 photographs of the object the Australian member I mentioned noticed in September. The images were VERY far away when he posted them. I magnified all 4 substantially and added a bit of contrast. Remember, this is the SAME object/star morphing in the sky while he took the images. I obviously can not say for sure that what he photographed was Sirius, but I have a hunch it might be. :Giant explosion:  :BlueKachina1:  Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

You didn't state anywhere about how you are observing, eye?, scope?, digi- cam?. I was just posting an answer trying to get a better clue as to HOW you are seeing this phenom?

| Semi-Crazy User ID: 1522973 Canada12/05/2011 03:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The gf has a D50 or D somthing Nikon camera. Pretty good machine, I got a crappy sony video camera and I got a telescope but I think its missing pieces. There is no eye piece, just a metal tube that you look into, no stand either so I prop it against a fence. I will for sure take pics if I see anything worth taking. I mean 0 light too. I only have candles, nobody for miles around. This distortion when things are near the horizon I get, but once its high in the sky and midnight kinda thing when its black dark... Where would the distortion come from? Ive only talked to a few people about the red/white/blue light flickering and one guy said he was blinder then a bat. Couldnt see any stars in 25 years he said, i pointed it out and he was shocked. That was ;ast winter, Probly Mid January Idguess |

It will probably be very visible about an hour from now, or sooner if you are on the coast. Eastern sky. Follows Jupiter up. Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

No. Just that it might be a piece of the puzzle. Many people in the Southern Hemisphere earlier this year, were mentioning a strange star. Now that Sirius is rising at a decent hour it will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere (Winter months) for us to get our chance to see it. I was hoping to get people to look to ORION, then to find Sirius and observe her behavior. Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |
| chrion777 User ID: 5433132 United States12/05/2011 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember back in 1998 I wondered how i never noticed it before as I frequently liked to gaze up at the stars. I know Sirus is part of a binary star system, is it possible the twinkling is from the wobble of the star? |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1494996 United States12/05/2011 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I tooki like 100 pics of it, sent them to England, did research, there is a lot of online discussion about it. They even have a mil satellite that hangs in the area where we would look towards Sirius, no one I know has an expolanation of the outrageous colors except atmosphere! |

Sirius is a Holy star for many ancient cultures including modern Israel who places their "New Year" on the first rising of Sirius in the Northern Hemisphere, September 28 of this year. As did Egypt. 1580 BCE:The Egyptians invented a new and better calendar. It is based on both the moon and a star. They observed the annual appearance of the brightest star in the sky, Sirius. That coupled with it's removal from Googlesky, Sky-Map.org, and other programs, intrigues me. Also, the mystery surrounding the Dogon and Siruis B. I have only had a chance to see it once since September 28. Tonight, it is again completely overcast. Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |
