| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28683220  United States12/07/2012 06:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is Dr. Astro a poster known for his thorough and accurate postings? I'm not familiar with his reputation here. Quoting: itsamadmadworld Anyone? he's called a shill for telling the truth most of the time... he's no nonsense and his posts are as good as any valid source out there... he spends time proving the insane to be... the insane... if he says something is fucked up... then you can bet... its fucked up... very very very credible Are you wagging your tail, too, while saying all this?  |

I found Polaris to be 835.7 pixels from the north celestial pole: Quoting: Dr. Astro [link to i319.photobucket.com] Previous astrometric calibration with this telescope and camera show that it has a resolution of 2.93 arcseconds per pixel: [link to www.flickr.com] Given that Polaris' declination after accounting for precession is 89d 19' 09.8", it should have been 2,450.2 arcseconds from the north celestial pole. 835.7*2.93 = 2448.601 for a difference of 1.599, less than the resolution of this telescope/camera combo and meaning that the NCP was exactly where it should have been in the image (I used my widefield refractor; had I used the main telescope Polaris would have been outside of the field of view and I would have had to measure off something else, leaving a question as to whether or not Polaris itself had mysteriously warped somewhere else). Here's the raw photograph from which the measurements were made. I used PixInsight dynamic background subtraction in the above version to subtract out some of the light pollution: [link to i319.photobucket.com]  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28683220 United States12/07/2012 06:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Theory as to why we are experiencing severe environmental change. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28246584 Oil is the earth’s natural coolant. Therefore, extraction of oil makes the earth’s crust warmer. Warmer earth’s crust makes the oceans warmer. Warmer oceans, causes severe hurricanes/cyclones, and thunderstorms. Oil is a substance that balances the earth’s crust. Extraction of oil makes the earth’s crust unbalanced. Unbalanced earth’s crust causes severe earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanos. Oil extraction is also the reason why earth is off it's orbit (whether NASA confirms it or not, we are. There is too much evidence). STOP people from getting oil out of our planet. Oil is meant to stay underground. We simply do not need to extract oil, in order to survive. The indigenous populations the world over, survived without extracting oil. We CAN live without ruining the planet. If we continue extracting oil, we will have NO planet. Boycott all oil. Rise up and STOP them getting oil out of the earth. It’s time to forget about money and luxuries. Be virtuous. Do what’s right. Please send this to all govts around the world as well as mainstream media. Also share this on Facebook, Twitter and other media outlets. I have always wondered whether oil had an impact on the earths crust, but never heard anyone talking about it. You should check out the Bezerk thread...

Quoting: Jesus/Yahshua is Lord! Amen! 25746694 Matthew 24 Mark 13 Luke 21 John Those who have ears to hear, listen the Word of is Holy and true. Jesus/Yahshua Christ is Lord and Savior. Get ready people, govt's, nations. God Almighty's words will not pass away till all things are fulfilled, may those who are lost will be found and those who saved, are Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus/Yahshua will give us strength in these times. God bless! I think astro might be too busy correlating facts too be looking up bible verses. So glad you chimed in to point out the relevant verses to save him looking thru a thousand pages of crap to support hos findings. lol |
| say what User ID: 27432234 United States12/09/2012 02:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have you been using this flawed tripod the whole time prior to this event for your other little science experiments...? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8035454 No. If you'd been paying attention you would have noticed that I specifically said it was the first time I attempted to do it with this tripod in this manner. It was faster and enabled me to catch a break in the clouds before it completely clouded up for the night. Did you go buy a new and better one for this event. Quoting: ACNo, I used my normal telescopes. The question still begs an answer Astro. Why did you say ANYTHING in the first place...? Quoting: ACI told you, I set out to debunk the claim that Orion, and by extension, the sky was tilted abnormally out of place. You are suggesting I should have hidden my results. Yes you sure should have.orion is fine. The end!! See.. |
