Re: I'm watching Mars, ask me a question
Capturing Mars right now with a telescope at high magnification and with a second wide angle telescope to capture the stars around it by over exposing Mars in that camera. Got tired of the "where are the stars" complaints so I'm going to combine the two views if I can. I'll probably be told it's fake anyway.

Is it true that when you look at a ball from a ball perspective you get hypnotized?


What's the refresh rate of Mars?

That's too far away from Earth to see at this point. I was able to follow it out to a distance of about 3 million km or nearly eight times the distance to the moon.

Re: I'm watching Mars, ask me a question
There's a particular vantage point from which I want to get a picture of a total lunar eclipse when it's low on the horizon. I might not be able to wait for that, though, so a simple full moon may have to suffice.

What's the terminology for how far north from due east the moon is when crossing the horizon from a particular coordinate on the earth, and is there a simple process or freeware application for calculating the compass degree at which it would be seen?

I know where I want to be standing and the compass arc that would be fitting for the line of sight, I just don't know where to start in being able to calculate if the moon when at least near peak luminosity would be in that line of sight arc.

I had a steak and margarita before I set up. There was a bit too much tequila in it so I'm pretty much done for the night on that. Now I'm just drinking water.

 Quoting: deafcat


Sounds like Stellarium would be helpful for planning such an observation. I created a spreadsheet for calculating things like the azimuth of the moon from a given location and time, but Stellarium would be more user friendly. Sounds like you are looking for the moon to be at a particular declination when crossing the horizon, resulting in a desired azimuth.

Re: I'm watching Mars, ask me a question
Are you noticing more star link activity? There are now 770+\- in orbit now. 41k to go. I am seeing equally spaced objects in a straight line. Very colorful with binoculars. Shimmering red, green, purple, gold.

Orion in the east looked like a satellite formation. Kinda freaked me out. I would like to remind everyone that it is not paranoia when they really are trying to get you.

Looking forward to your time lapse footage of Mars.

Cheers

Mars is a light set in the Firmament dome above our Flat, stationary Earth. Everyone knows that.

I'm not seeing much right now, but it very much depends on your location. At my location, they'll only be visible a little while before twilight and it's not time yet for them to be visible.

Wrong. It's a rotating, revolving planet and I'm witnessing that with my very own eyes right now.

Wrong. It's solid, opaque, I can see the surface features, and it's rotating and revolving. I've even measured its physical size and distance.

Doubt it, the distance we're dealing with here even at close approach is still vast. I could crunch the numbers but I'm a bit tired at this point. It's 4am here.
