Axial rotation measurement anomaly *Update on pg 21 - Problem Solved*

Thanks

Really?
Thanks

He has a sense of humor...It's a dry wit.

Yes. He's usually the one debunking bs threads.

Wow . . . thanks for the info . . . really interested now to know what he's going to post.

[joking]No, he's barking mad. Everyone knows that.[/joking]

Yes he's generally known for being thorough and accurate and sane... however after this I'm beginning to question the last attribute...


R.

...about that sniper...

Isaiah 24:20
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall , and not rise again .

Are you wagging your tail, too, while saying all this?

Well said! The egos in here are hilarious.

It's been over an hour since he started the measurement and still no findings. I guess he's being thorough.

The commentary of that verse says:

and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; that is, the punishment of transgression, which, like a talent of lead, in Zechariah 5:8 shall crush it, and the inhabitants of it, to pieces:

and it shall fall, and not rise again; in the form it now is; for there will be new heavens and a new earth, in which the righteous, who will share the first resurrection, will dwell; for as for the first earth, or present one, it shall pass away, and no place be found for it, Revelation 20:11.

no.

Astro and I just recently "debated" on another topic.

He was rather sharp toned with me... and I to him...

So im not his cheerleader... but truth is truth.

Astro is not one for trolling or crazy ass follies

There are a lot of things Astro says that I don't like, but he's always got legitimate evidence and research to back him.

I'm waiting in anticipation of what he's found as well.

It appears that all is right with the world. I found Polaris to be 835.7 pixels from the north celestial pole:

Previous astrometric calibration with this telescope and camera show that it has a resolution of 2.93 arcseconds per pixel:

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:

Or maybe he's hitting a crack pipe.

Thanks for the update, off to bed!

To quote Bender from Futurama - and .... we're..... boned!

Is prophecy coming true? A visionary died last year, Father
Gobbi of the Marian Movement of Priests. Father Iannuzzi's
comments. Father Iannuzzi is an American. Here is some wonderful news, a yes from the Vatican a few days ago, after Father Iannuzzi presented a study of the mystic Luisa Piccarreta's writings. The Heavenly messages controversial, misunderstood for years.

What I would like to know, I am a lay person, is a "pole
shift" the same as the earth being "knocked of its axis?"

+ + +


From one of the very few theologians of eschatology (the last things), an exorcist who worked under Fr. Amorth, and the only Vatican approved theologian with permission to write on Luisa Piccarreta and her Divine Will writings (with the proper interpretation) while her cause is being studied in Rome.


A very touching tribute to Fr. Gobbi from Father Joseph Iannuzzi, an Official Exorcist - June 29th, 2011



"I, Rev. Joseph Leo Iannuzzi, affirm that Fr. Steffano Gobbi is and was a true locutionist and a messenger from Mary, who shared with us a timely instrument from the Mother of God who is calling me and you to prayer and fasting from the heart. Time is short...The great chastisement awaits the planet that will be knocked off of its axis and send us into a moment of global darkness and the awakening of consciences..Fr. Gobbi's messages presently bear the Church's official seal of approval, the "imprimatur" Thus he is ecclesiastically recognized. So, prepare yourselves with the weapons of the Brown Scapular, the Miraculous medal, the Benedictine medal, the prayers of the Most Holy Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the frequent reception of the Sacraments of Confession and Holy Communion. As God loves you, I love you, and love one another. Forgive one another form the heart. Nothing else really matters in this life."


In Domino.


Rev. Joseph Iannuzzi

Thank you for letting us know that Polaris is still where it ought to be :D

He once had a good reputation for being a voice of reason.

Then he posted a misleading and alarmist thread based on a single dodgy unchecked measurment, using even more dodgy equipment.

Now his reputation is only slightly better than that of the other trolls here,



In short - you could say his reputation is currentley in the gutter..

..but he's still looking at the stars.

Cheers Astro - Which is pretty much what I said yesterday...

Good work non the less.

Thank God! Thanks Astro 8-)... for sleuthing this out for everyone.

In normal English for dummies, please...

So the moral of the story, don't use a cheap camera tripod with a heavy SLR camera to try to accurately measure things astrometrically. It just doesn't work. Tonight I used the proper equipment, a Canon XTi SLR attached via t-threads to an Orion ST-80 refractor riding piggyback on a Meade 8" LX200 Classic, a very sturdy telescope fully capable of handling that kind of payload.

But of course. Which puts new credibility to my doom in late 2085 theory. You doom meisters are looking for something that probably wont happen until after your dead or at least very, very old...sorry charlie(s)

Keep on keeping on with one eye to the sky. And I'm not saying personal doom wont happen before that, I'm talking about ELE pole shift type doom. Going to be plenty of trouble leading up to the end.
