Nero the Zero  User ID: 76866945  United States09/14/2018 04:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whatever they are... they sure seem to like the southeastern limb for whatever reason. Quoting: Nero the Zero That is not a "they" nor does it have a preference, it's a bit of dust or debris in the imaging system improperly being subtracted by the flat field calibration process. If you claim to have a college education in this, shouldn't you know how to process the data from the original raw fits files? I never claimed to have a degree in space-tardin'- merely filling-up some requirements. Neither do I, but I also took several courses in it. I at least learned about FITS and the importance of it as opposed to JPG preview images. Everyone gets an opinion, and while all opinions are not created equally, Quoting: NeroGreat, but what I just showed isn't based on opinion, it's a fact that the "anomaly" you were pointing to there was just an effect of the flat field subtraction. I recreated it myself and demonstrated what was causing it. I'm not basing my argument on the completion of a degree, I'm basing it on the facts. Fine, but your original point in this thread is... uh, what was that point again? Seriously, the OP (and others) are of the opinion that this entire thing in NM is strange, and there now appears some support for that position. I posted some strange solar anomaly vids. Why digress? What do you think is the reason for now seemingly multiple solar observation posts going down, or is it fake news? What is your explanation for the 'cosmic rays' one (first one)- or... this one?

No, you posted old videos of known things like flat field subtraction errors that have nothing to do with the story in NM, and despite me posting multiple videos debunking it multiple times you still refuse to admit what the deal was with that. So whatever. Why digress? What do you think is the reason for now seemingly multiple solar observation posts going down, or is it fake news? Quoting: NeroYou mean multiple webcams? At any given time there's probably at least a dozen observatory related webcams down somewhere in the world. Confirmation bias is a powerful thing.  |

| Nero the Zero User ID: 76866945 United States09/14/2018 04:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All that 'stuff'... is stuff. Gods know what they are seeing up there currently. I own a solar telescope, but it is useless to discern coronal stuff. In fact, i cant remember ever having seen less going on- no surface features or prominence whatsoever... nuthin in the last few days.

Speaking of last minute disclosure did anyone see AHS Apocolypse? Quoting: Vivarium WHY is Elizabeth Taylor on that show!?

| BUMPkin User ID: 29613607  Australia09/14/2018 07:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just did a quick look around about that Sydney webcam. From link ... [link to www.onlinewebcameras.com] Live view – AXIS 232D Network Dome Camera This telescope webcam is located in Sydney, Australia. It is a a PTZ webcam but appears to only let you view the observatory and not view through the telescope. Ah well. View Live Webcam: Live view – AXIS 232D Network Dome Camera So nothing mysterious about the Sydney webcam as it doesn't show sky activity at all just the Observatory surrounds. |

Worldwide chaos will occur within hours of disclosure so trust me....we will all be conveniently left in the dark until it's so blatantly late and impossible to deny that the end is upon us. We all better hope that it's only some foreign hackers messing with us. If on the other hand it's a rapid breakdown of our sun or some other SHTF event it's probably better we don't know and can enjoy a few more weeks of life. Quoting: Clines Terrifying! We are all about to dieeeeee  |
