Liberal vs Conservative: Biological?Posted By Rob Wiederrich |
I appraciate you posting that Rod..I really do. Demonstratable fact you'll believe just about anything(as a liberal). To convince your children that being in debt till your eyes bleed is actually a good and respectible thing. I hope they appreciate that when they get older. 8O

The difference between Bush and Obama...Posted By Rob Wiederrich |
The real difference between these two is Bush knew Oil companies promote jobs......
Obumer thinks the trucks hauling his *Bud* run on corn oil. Steal corn from consumption(animals/humans) to make ethanol..and you raise the price of everything else on the planet.

Did Obama really trip up bad on this one?Posted By Rob Wiederrich |
Oh this should be fun......The very guy who framed the resolution..FAILS the criteria of his own resolution. If law is to be upheld and if we are a nation of laws..then Obumer has to go..no question.

I am betting this one picks up steam fast and cant wait to hear the explanations as I am sure they will be more than entertaining.....

The Easiest Incumbent to Beat since 1980Posted By Rob Wiederrich |
Why should Obumer care...he's White. :S
Darian Rachal said:
This is just a short opinion article that I think may have some merit. The more I think about the characterization of Obama as the first "affirmative action" President, the more the label seems appropriate. AFAIC, 'affirmative action' is nothing more than giving a job to a less-qualified applicant simply because of skin color.

Barack: High Unemployment Due To Gov Worker LayoffsPosted By Rob Wiederrich |
Obumer lives in an alternate reality..probably somewhere near the *Neather Regions*. He's so short sighted he thought the fence behind him at his news conference in Teas was the entire fence....*See look..it's there..and its looks finished too*..
What an idiot!

Jupiter with Nikon D70Posted By Rob Wiederrich |
Awesome image.
I don't stack or process my single exposure images.
Here is my image taken with my unmodified 350D DSLR at ISO 800,1/10th second exposure at prime focus on my homemade 10"f/15 refractor.

What is an anastigmatic refractor objective?Posted By Rob Wiederrich |
Pat...any modern photographic lens is anastigmatic...it isn't anything *special*...and most well made achromatic telescope objectives are anastigmatic. Generally, Chromatic effect is an issue of focal length and the index of the elements used in the lens design.....you do know that achromatic means *color free* and we hardly consider most achromats *color free*...when the apochromatic now seams to fit that bill. Anastigmatic is as ED used to be...it is a selling tool.
Patrick Kelly said:
I've seen this in several manufacturer "ads" now as something special. I understand it pertains to the lack of particular optical aberrations i.e. perfect lens. Without digging into "Telescope Optics..." I'm curious if the highest quality apos like AP/TEC etc as well as maybe the D&G achromats...all of which are painstakingly figured and corrected to eliminate secondary aberrations ('cept for focal length related CA in the latter) can also be considered "anastigmatic"? My gut tells me this may be just marketing mumbo-jumbo to separate themselves from the pack and impress the impressible, or is this actually a valid optical attribute only the luckiest and most fortunate telescope users should pursue?
Thanks, Pat
