How about you simply DESCRIBE them?

Whassamatter.? Can't speak for himself..?

People are noticing the sunshine hitting in places where it never did before...
Do you have a learning disability..?

And this is being caused by what? Please be specific.

I think you do have a learning disability.

So... how do you explain the anomalies..?
 Quoting: Waterbug

Please define the "anomalies".
 Quoting: phoomp


WTF..?

Am I in the twilight zone..?

Have you noticed that islands are disappearing..?
World climate is warming.
Polar ice is melting.
Storms are bigger, stronger and more wide-spread.
Earthquakes are increasing in number and frequency.
Thermohaline circulation is slowing.
Mass animal die-offs are being reported all over the globe.
Whales and dolphins are beaching.
Birds are falling out of the sky.
And much more...

But it's all normal, right..?

Waiting for the facts here too, Menow - 3 years of facts instead of repeating your opinion that every single person on the planet who sees sun anomalies has faulty memory. We've visited your infamous link - and it's a page of yet more useless links offering absolutely zero information to address the topic at hand.

Really, Menow, for someone who's spent as much time as you have debunking threads like this on forums - and it seems you have quite the reputation out there - your arsenal is pretty lame.

And this is exactly what astronomers (amateur and professional) do: They have stringent criteria and controls on telescope and camera equipment set up for years.

And none of the astronomers (amateur and professional) claims the position of the sun is off.
Au contraire - they all say the sun is exactly where it is supposed to be.
 Quoting: Hydra


This brings up an issue that, without expertise in the field of astronomy, I have been wondering about Hydra. Not sure what your background is or if you can answer this but the question is:

There is much discussion of 'everything being exactly where it is supposed to be'. But when astronomers take measurements on the position of celestial bodies, aren't they made in comparison with other celestial markers? In other words, are the measurements being made of only what's going on in the sky or are they actually accounting for how the sky relates incrementally to earth markers?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29871220

Sorry AC 29871220 for my late reply - after my last post I went to sleep (at 03:20 German time).

There are two commonly used alignment techniques:
1) Alignment to Polaris
2) Two star drift techniques
Both are described here: [link to www.astro-tom.com]

1) gives you an exact alignment to the north celestial pole (NCP). You can bring it even closer by using a crosshair eyepiece (with scale) and use fainter stars closer to the NCP.
2) (in my opinion) gives only a relative position compared to other stars - but a quick look at polaris would tell you when the NCP would be off.

I own a stationary telescope, set up and aligned years before, correction for the precession every now and then. The error margin is +/- 1.6 arcmin at maximum - far, far below visual recognition.
Last time I corrected for the precession was on occasion of the [link to www.godlikeproductions.com]

I hope this answers your question.

And none of the astronomers (amateur and professional) claims the position of the sun is off.
Au contraire - they all say the sun is exactly where it is supposed to be.

This brings up an issue that, without expertise in the field of astronomy, I have been wondering about Hydra. Not sure what your background is or if you can answer this but the question is:

There is much discussion of 'everything being exactly where it is supposed to be'. But when astronomers take measurements on the position of celestial bodies, aren't they made in comparison with other celestial markers? In other words, are the measurements being made of only what's going on in the sky or are they actually accounting for how the sky relates incrementally to earth markers?

As Hydra pointed out, permanently polar aligned telescopes depend on the earth's physical orientation. And indeed, the celestial markers themselves can be measured with respect to the earth's rotation:

When done properly, it is clear that the earth's orientation is normal. A similar method can be used to measure the sun's position as well, and indeed I'll give that another go this weekend.

Even less, in this case. Heh.

What is your opinion worth..? Heh.
Same as mine...

Don't you feel a little stupid..?

I'm not sure I have been offering only "opinion", here. I have tried to lean toward facts.
 Quoting: Menow 18943200


Statements in lieu of empirical data are hardly facts..
 Quoting: Waterbug

Well then, let's collect some empirical data then, shall we? Like this:

And this:

And this:
Thread: The sun is still right where it should be in the sky! *Update on page 2 for 12-19-12
Let's do it again, let's see if the sun's right where it should be... I think it's time to collect some more empirical data.
