MOST STRIKINGLY COLORED ROBIN EVER

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Taken in poor light with fill flash at 12X zoom handheld. The photo has only been cropped and resized, and in no way enhanced. In my 71+ years I have never seen a robin with this much color. I hope he returns and allows me to improve on this photo.

May I add that any planet within many light years radius of this supernova, and containing intelligent life(God's children?) would have been anihilated.

Eyepiece projection capability

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

The following images were made using a Canon 3.2 MP camera and a Questar at 63X. The first image is a full frame at 38mm equivilent. A white fence is at the center of the photo. The next image was taken from the same spot with the camera zoomed to 110mm through the Questar providing a 35mm eqivilent focal length of 6930mm. I thought that some folks might find it interesting.

Clavius Question

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

I have searched the internet for information regarding the the formation of the craterlets on the floor of Clavius, but have not found any theories regarding them. It is my belief that they were formed by the breakup of a comet or asteroid, and the arc was the result of the largest pieces hitting in order of their size as the moon rotated; as determined by gravitational pull. All comments will be appreciated.

THE UNIVERSE

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Today I heard an expert proclaim that the universe Was NOW 13.5 billion years old and that it's origin at the time of the big bang was the size of a marble. This is more impressive data than ten pounds of doo-doo in a five pound bag. Don't we all love experts!!!!!
