Jupiter and Mars from last month

Posted By Michael Scherman
Here is Jupiter in January shot from the sububs at f17.4 through a SV102T Apo. Stack of 900 images from a DBK21AU04 camera. Seeing is difficult as I am right up against the foothills.

First EVER Astrophotography Planetary photos :D

Posted By Michael Scherman
Nice Mike. A bit underexposed is nice as you didn't saturate highlights. Actually you can push to f25 or f30 if seeing is really good. Damian Peach typically does. The fact you got a sharp defined globe on Venus is alone, something to be proud of.

Total Depravity

Posted By Michael Scherman
I guess this is a compelling reason to answer "same manner victim was killed" on the current AM poll on capital punishment. This should be a capital offence, as violence of this nature eventually translates to humans. Check out fur farms and dog culling in China (and SE Asia) if you need to see how far down the rabbit hole goes in terms of human depravity. Starting to look foward to the Lord's bowls of wrath.

Fly over of the New Zealand fault trace.

This is no joke... From the Kiwi Rail Staff Newsletter: This photo taken at the 3km mark on the Midland Line shows in very graphic terms the impact of Saturday morning’s earthquake. LE Dick Heanga, who was working at the time of the quake, managed to stop just 30 metres short of this buckle

Ups and Downs of the Forums

Posted By Michael Scherman
"Some times it is my own doing. I get too pissed at a couple of "regulars" that I either disagree with or I find personally repugnant or the one that always gets me really pissed"

VERY WELL said, I stopped visiting the religion forum out of disgust due to several "individuals" (I have much more accurate descriptors for these, but they are not suitable for the forums smile) that effectively shot down everyone with their intolerant and extremely flawed logic. I agree this is a good forum and people of religious faith (myself included) should be able to share ideas without all that athiest FUD. Thanks for weeding Herb, I know its tough but it IS appreciated.
