Divinity of JesusPosted By Maurice Clark |
Hi Mike,
I would not comment on what people believe, but what the bible teaches is that Jesus was God in Human flesh. (John 1) That He was "God with us" (Is 7:14) "Mighty God" "Everlasting Father" (Is 9:6) The creator of the universe (Col 1:16) and eternal. (Mic 5:2) So according to the bible, Jesus was both devine and human.
Some Christian denominations reject these, for example the Christadelphians, Unitarians, JW, etc. The seeds of their beliefs can be found in the teachings of the gnostics of the first century AD and the Origen in the 3rd century AD.
I would think that there would be few people today who would deny that Jesus was a real person. However, wheather people believe He was "God with us" of just a religious teacher who made a blunder in PR, depends very much on how they view the biblical account.
Cheers,
Maurice

Autoguiding QuestionPosted By Maurice Clark |
Hi Brian,
I do not know what your problem is, but I do not think it is the laptop. I have an old IBM Thinkpad (P133) running Win95 and a Canon PII with Win98 and they both run CCDSoft without any problems.
Cheers,
Maurice

My sister died todayPosted By Maurice Clark |
Brian,
As with the others I pass on to you my deepest sympathy for the loss of your sister. As a christian I take comfort in knowing that loved ones who accepted Jesus are peacefully sleeping in their grave, awaiting the ressurrection when I can meet them again and be with them for eternity.
Regards,
Maurice

ST-4 ImagingPosted By Maurice Clark |
Hi Alex,
I remember once many years ago reading someone's web page about imaging with an ST-4. Unfortunately I cannot remember whose. :-(
I did however spend some time imaging with an ST-4 with good success. For planetary imaging, I found it easiest to focus on a nearby star or for Jupiter, one of the moons. After focusing, then go to the planet. Were you using the ST-4 in planetary mode? You need to because to image planets the ST-4 has to use only half of the chip, so that it has somewhere to store the image during download.
You can see a couple of my images at: http://www.acad.carleton.edu/curricular/PHYS/Faculty/MClark/jupiter.htm
The images from May 5 and Dec 22 were with the ST-4.
Cheers,
Maurice

Spring Skies and the Virgo ClusterPosted By Maurice Clark |
Hi Daryl,
Your 5" should also let you see the quasar 3C273. That is in Virgo and is at about 1.8 billion ly away! THAT should blow your mind away! :-)
If you try a big dob on galaxies from a dark site you will be ruined forever! M51, NGC 1365, NGC 253, NGC 55, M83 etc, all show great detail.

Maurice
