Thoughts on Creation and Original SinPosted By Judson Mitchell |
So, what I am gathering from this thread is that the apple is a metaphor?

If you're gonna embarass your conference...Posted By Judson Mitchell |
Perhaps I am missing something, but didn't the conference embarrass itself by loosing to GA?

And while you are at it, why are they not built into some longer focal length EPs already? Cost?

Global Warming - REAL or NOT
Gimme a seawater with a twistPosted By Judson Mitchell |
It astounds me that we would consider such an approach. It is similar to proposing hydrogen cars without abundant nuclear energy. Perhaps they thing that lime is free and obtainable without expending any energy and adding to the co2 loading. Not to mention the magnitude of a comprehensive project.
Our politicians allowed alarmists to curtail nuclear plants (some in mid-construction). These things demonstrate how we as a society are crisis management oriented instead of forward thinking. We should keep in mind how some micro cultures cause their own demise by eating themselves out of house and home. Hang on for the ride.

Edgar Mitchell claims ET is here!Posted By Judson Mitchell |
How does the government manage to get to alien sightings before our reporters and citizens? Must be some sort of specialized alien radar. It would be nice if our "Government" would convert some of their alien coverup techniques to improving our economy. Seems quite a dichotomy exists between these two abilities. We have astounding belief in their one ability; and the other, well you fill in the blank.

Celestron 10x70 finder crosshair dilemmaPosted By Judson Mitchell |
In the interim it won't matter if your cross hairs aren't perfect. You only need a reference point. As long as that is the center point of your telescope, that is all that you need. Just adjust your finder accordingly.

It's not a mythPosted By Judson Mitchell |
My neighbor was asking me about my replacement water heater until I informed him that it was my telescope. Seems those 12" beasts are widely misunderstood by the lay population. He should have known if he had taken the time to evaluate the length to width ratio (and he was an engineer too). Those uninsulated galvanized water heaters met their demise years ago.

Re: Global DimmingPosted By Judson Mitchell |
Exemplary comentary that lends credibility to the discussion and comprehension of those factors affecting climate change. We are indebted to those who diligently seek the truth. My position in the past has been one of disbelief primarily because of the monumental task of accurately building and competently running a global model. With so many variables to describe with accuracy, the modelers have a daunting task. It would be valuable to learn of those offshoots that have been realized through such efforts.

Viewing PerseidsPosted By Judson Mitchell |
Stayed in my back yard with significant sky glow from Greenville SC and surrounding area. Site was on the Orange-Red boundary of the CLS Light Pollution Map. Directly overhead it was about Mag 4 with a haze halo extending up to about 60 degrees. Sky view was limited by local trees, but still managed 40 Perseids from 12 to 3AM, 3 in a 10 second burst. Several left trails that were momentarily visible. My suspicions are that a darker sky with good horizons would have yielded many more. Saw only 2 north of Casiopeia due to the sky muck.
