Making a Solar filter with Baader FilmPosted By Paul Gustafson |
The Baader film is inexpensive enough you might as well make a full aperture filter and take advantage of the additional resolution. Then , if you really want to try an off-axis filter you can simply put a cardboard mask in front of your filter, best of both worlds.

Canon EOS UltraWide 2" Prime Focus AdapterPosted By Paul Gustafson |
I have one, haven't had time to use it yet. The inside of the adapter is very reflective; I'll shoot mine with ultra flat krylon black. I e-mailed the manufacturer about it, no response.

Advertising what you gotPosted By Paul Gustafson |
Greg,
It's the AstroBurglar shopping list. We're waiting for you to buy that uber-refractor.
I'm not concerned -- anyone who gets past the dogs, the security system, and my little friend 
can have anything they want.

Vick Alert!Posted By Paul Gustafson |
He still faces charges in Virginia, but how that goes depends on the charges. In Va if one has been convicted on the federal level one cannot be convicted of any crime on the state level that flows from the same act. The local prosecutor delayed prosecution and has been dragging his feet since the story first broke, so I doubt his sincerity in proceeding aggressively.
His "community" had a "community hug" for him a while ago. Maybe he'll get hugged in prison. 8O He's guilty as sin -- he asked me to sharpen the teeth on his dog before he went to Hotlanta.
It amazes me that he could have any supporters at all, but a wide variety of people from Whoopie Goldberg to local citizens say that people just don't understand, it's a cultural thing. My take on that is electrocuting, drowning, or hanging dogs is sadistic, and sadism isn't cultural, it's pathological. Someone should point out to Whoopie that by her definition, lynching was cultural, too.

Alpine Astro or AstroPhysics?Posted By Paul Gustafson |
Externally they are a knockoff of the AP mounts, internally they have a different drive system. Roland addresses the differences here:

The SEC could sweep . . .Posted By Paul Gustafson |
If Hart hadn't fumbled away two TD's Michigan would have hung half a hundred on them. A fun game for Michigan fans, not sure where that SEC speed went. The M receivers scorched the secondary, even the tight end outran them.
Sweet!

Best Sci Fi EverPosted By Paul Gustafson |
THX1138, 2001, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original), Blade Runner, Forbidden Planet.
Generally remakes stink, but I really liked the remake of The Thing better than the original. The original Alien was good, as was Terminator. Twilight Zone had some pretty good episodes.

If Mike Hart didn't have two goal line fumbles they would have hung half a hundred on your boys. 
Unlike the sad team from Columbus, M has owned the SEC. Maybe it's those Aids Awareness, Bowling, and Golf classes the buckeyes take for credits. 
It should be an interesting year. IIRC, Fl picked up a good running back to take some of the pressure off of Tebow in case a team stuffs him. Nobody knows what to expect of Mich.
