RA 6h 42m 8.44s, Dec 41 40' 18.94" . . . First Day

Could you tell if the object was traveling away, toward or parallel to Earth's Orbit? If you can, in the example above which way is it moving?
 Quoting: George B

Not enough information. You need more observations (over the course of about three nights of observing, preferrably separated by a week or two) and you need to know the observer's exact location. Here's some software which can solve for the orbit using that information in what is known as the Gauss' method for orbit determination. From there you can plug the orbit into a variety of programs to visualize the orbit and its relationship to earth.

It's not a bad question at all. Here's my answer in short form; worlwide telescope and google sky both suck.

 Quoting: Astronut

The PXers always depend on the poorest observation methods so they can think they find PX within their LARGE margins of error. That has been a constant from the beggining. It's how Nancy has always operated, too.

That is just what I said above . . . I am aware that repeated verifiable observance is required to confirm any anomaly.
 Quoting: George B


But you consistently IMPLY that such anomalies are evidence of Planet X. Even if they are genuine anomalies (rather than image defects/artefacts etc.) they are certainly not evidence of Nancy's Planet X, because Nancy's Planet X is completely impossible and ridiculous.

Every claimed physical property of Nancy's Planet X is not compatible with what we know about the Universe, which means it is a figment of Nancy's stupid mind and does not exist in the real world.

Number 1. I never implied any such thing. My original statement was quote: "Talking about Nancy and Planet-X. I found these three clips that I would like your take on . . ." You took the liberty to interpret what my motives are or what I think . . . you are wrong.
Number 2. I have never stated that Nancy was anything but nuts.
Number 3. I present issues and so called evidence to clarify what the common man may or may not fully understand.

Lots of practice with frame stacking and careful focus. The poor little webcam doesn't even have a lens of its own, it just plugs into the telescope and uses that as the lens.

Actually, webcams are the preferred method of shooting planets. Planets are bright, so sensitivity isn't an issue. The problem with planets is that they are SMALL (small angular diameter, even in scopes) so you have to apply magnification by using barlow lenses, which amplifies atmospheric distortions. By shooting thousands of frames of video and using software to pick out the ones with best definition (each frame differs from atmospheric motions) and aligning and stacking those, you can get quite good images of the planets.

Astornut,

I would like your opinion regarding the coordinates we discussed yesterday. An individual claims that they used an IR capable camera and recorded an object at the coordinates RA: 6h 42m 8.44s, Dec: 41 40' 18.94" on 20 March 2010 from a location in southern Michigan. He later recorded an identical or similar object at 6h 41m 55.77s, 41 35'; 41 35' 19.45" on 9 April 2010. After consulting 'Your Sky' at [link to www.fourmilab.ch] (see graph above) it seems this object is found fairly close to the orbit of Mars. With your knowledge of camera capable telescopes which have the ability to record coordinates . . . is it possible:
1. The object may well be Mars because of the close proximity . . .
2. Some other star the individual is confusing the object with . . .
3. Individual has no clue of what he is doing . . .
4. He has possibly found something unique . . . .

Thanks for your time!

 Quoting: George B

I knew those coordinates looked oddly familiar. Yes, I'm familiar with Jcattera's lies... err, claims. When his video first came to light on GLP I immediately checked those coordinates and the surrounding area with my own IR camera and telescope. I later uploaded that rather uneventful video to youtube:
[link to www.youtube.com]
I also took a frame from his first video and performed astrometry on it and found that he was flat-out lying about the coordinates he was looking at. I had to photoshop out his "anomaly" since the astrometry software doesn't account for planets in an image and if they look star-like it rejects the image. Even if his anomaly were real it would have rejected it since that point of light would not fit when pattern matching to the background starfield:
[link to www.flickr.com]
The coordiantes for the image indicate that it WAS Mars in his field of view and that it was a huge distance from where he claimed to be pointing. He was lying about the real coordinates both to conceal the fact that he was seeing mars and I believe he deliberately chose coordinates corresponding to a blank spot on google sky so that layman researchers would think there was "something more to it." A video much later on claimed to show that his anomaly had moved even farther, but astrometry of that video proved he was still lying about the coordinates and was now pointing at the star Dubhe:
[link to www.flickr.com]
Of course he censors all negative comments of his videos and rejected my attempt to post my footage of his coordinates as a video response.

The whole ordeal was played out in this thread:
Thread: Did this guy just discover Planet X?
I started broadcasting a live view of his coordinates starting on page 12.

 Quoting: George B

I have the suspicion that he has actually been on GLP and was the one (SuperSkyWatcher) lying and attacking my ability to film in IR before the broadcast, and some of the things he said would suggest he thinks I'm evil for debunking evidence of Nibiru as it will cause people to believe Nibiru is fake and they'll die because they weren't preparing for it. In short, I think he believes in the reality of Nibiru to such an extent that the ends justify the means; he'll buy expensive equipment to make hoax videos to get people to believe so that they'll prepare, even though he doesn't actually have any real evidence for Nibiru.

In his mind, he doesn't even see the damage he does to the reputation of Nibiru as a theory. In his twisted and warped logic, I'm evil for exposing him. When I realized that I began to realize that such a radically twisted worldview is even potentially dangerous if you follow it through to its logical conclusion; what would happen if he really thought I was seriously going to result in the deaths of many innocent people because I am exposing him? Would he see justification to physically harm or kill me in order to save the lives of others? I have no reason to think he's actually that far gone, but it's the logical conclusion you reach when you examine that belief system. I hope he's just another attention-hungry unethical hoaxer who was trying for some short-lived internet fame. He does seem awfully dedicated to continuing the game though; he still moderates all the comments on his videos to keep the truth from being exposed.

When I realized that I began to realize that such a radically twisted worldview is even potentially dangerous if you follow it through to its logical conclusion; what would happen if he really thought I was seriously going to result in the deaths of many innocent people because I am exposing him? Would he see justification to physically harm or kill me in order to save the lives of others? I have no reason to think he's actually that far gone, but it's the logical conclusion you reach when you examine that belief system. I hope he's just another attention-hungry unethical hoaxer who was trying for some short-lived internet fame. He does seem awfully dedicated to continuing the game though; he still moderates all the comments on his videos to keep the truth from being exposed.

It takes a lot of patience to do what you did . . . that was a real public service! The perps motivation is rather sick no matter which way he swings. I cannot believe someone truly thought by creating a lie he would save lives; however, you may be right. The only other conclusion is he truly is a head case to pull a hoax for his own ego's sake. Again I appreciate your efforts . . . I really hope you have no reason to fear this creep.

Thank you greatly for a rational, thoughtful response!


It's a pity you can't develop a rational, thoughtful mind.

Come on dude, George is trying to learn, unlike the Zidiots
we used to have on GLP.

What motivates someone to perpetrate a fraud like that above . . . I just don't get it?

I have the suspicion that he has actually been on GLP and was the one (SuperSkyWatcher) lying and attacking my ability to film in IR before the broadcast, and some of the things he said would suggest he thinks I'm evil for debunking evidence of Nibiru as it will cause people to believe Nibiru is fake and they'll die because they weren't preparing for it. In short, I think he believes in the reality of Nibiru to such an extent that the ends justify the means; he'll buy expensive equipment to make hoax videos to get people to believe so that they'll prepare, even though he doesn't actually have any real evidence for Nibiru.

What Astronut did is very common and easy for most serious amateur astronomers, especially astrophotographers. The bunkers don't realize that they can't fake astronomical coordinates. We all have software that can look at any image of the sky and within just a fraction of a second tell exactly the coordinates of the central point as well as the position angle...that's how we aim telescopes with automation to very high precision. It's called a "plate solve". Many of the objects we photograph are so dim as to not be visible without long exposures so it requires that we have a method to precisely aim the telescope based on objects that can be photographed with relatively short exposures. When I'm shooting a series of exposures over several hours with the air temperture dropping the whole time, the focus of the scope changes slightly. As well, it changes slightly between the different filters I use. To combat that, I program my automation to slew the scope away from the target between filter changes or with every few degrees drop in temperature to a relatively isolated star of the proper magnitude, go through an automated focusing routine and then slew back to the target...checking and fine adjusting the scope's position by taking short images and plate solving them to be sure that it replicates the exact same field of view as before the focusing slew.

Wow, that is gorgeous! Thanks for the info . . . I suspected a lot of what you are saying . . . just using a SLR to photo the moon shows any photographer what astronomy requires!

That's a gorgeous capture Hap, Sky&Tel worthy imho. The faint extended regions of the nebula you captured are impressive.
