Quoting: RedRoad Since you are equipped...could you please check, record and post one of those strobing red-blue-green-yellow stars? I would very much appreciate it. I would really like to know what they are and what they look like up close. I would, but there is really nothing special about photographing stars and they usually won't twinkle as much through the telescope. |

Last night's Io shadow transiting...?? Would be interesting to run the video through something like Registax - get a sharper 'still' image - might be possible to make out Io against the planet's disk. |

User ID: 3753361 United States 02/20/2014 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Could you explain to me why Jupiter's storm bands/cloud stripes have changed recently and what exactly could cause the largest planet in the solar system to have such dramatic and notable climate change in such a short time? Curious minds would love to know. [link to www.space.com] "This is a big event," said Glenn Orton, a planetary scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in a statement. "We're monitoring the situation closely and do not yet fully understand what's going on."

User ID: 21960206 Canada 02/20/2014 06:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Love it, thanks Geo! I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean... And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying... Because I was born to be the other woman. Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it,and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 31350993 United States 02/20/2014 06:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what is the furthest object you can get a picture of with your setup? Jupiter is very cool. what happened to that giant storm spot? ever think of building your own scope? have you ever seen anything out of the ordinary while stargazing? does the government keep you quiet if you see something your not suppose to see in orbit? how much time do you actually get to look at the sky due to clouds covering your area? how much man made light is in your area? I could go on, but im probably getting on your nerves. |

The storm spot hadn't rotated in the visible side of the disk yet. Clouds are annoying as shit! And a lot of light pollution. |

Quoting: RedRoad Since you are equipped...could you please check, record and post one of those strobing red-blue-green-yellow stars? I would very much appreciate it. I would really like to know what they are and what they look like up close. I was seeing these almost every night in central Texas, back in late Nov. They aren't stars. I haven't noticed or looked for them in a few months. There were two I could see simultaneously. I have a Celestron CPC925 XLT, but didn't scope the objects. I could tell from looking through bino's they aren't stars, or I never seen stars with flashing lights like that. Next few weeks I'll be out more with the scope, it's warming up now. If I see em, I'll image one with an Atik Titan CCD and see what I get, and post it. No stacking I am guessing due to the flashing lights but with 15 frames a sec, maybe catch a good frame. They are bizarre, maybe another sky watcher knows what these are? |
