Posted By Nico Taelman
If; when the Twin Rover landing(s) succeed our understanding of the Martian terrain and geology will gain significantly, pretty panoramic pictures there too...Drooooooool, can't wait!

Experience vs Equipment

Posted By Nico Taelman
I've been thinking of buying a larger aperture for years now but my budget didn't yet allow me to buy what I really want so I rather wait. I bought a travelscope with half the aperture of my first scope and I haven't regretted it one second. I took it to Greece and since then I know I would rather first invest in some dark-sky property than buying a third instrument which would only see 25 really clear skies a year anyway...For me and for most people I guess it's primarily a budget thing. If I could I'd buy a medium-sized APO and a 20" reflector with premium mirrors...But I'm more than happy with what I have and again, I discovered dark skies allow you to see much more than a gain in aperture. I could be perfectly happy for another few years with my current equipment under better skies.

I want to believe ...

I had a look at it with Photoshop but couldn't make out very much. It is however one of the first pictures of a supposedly ufo I see where the object doesn't seem to just 'hang' in the air but actually seems to move.
Oh well, probably just another joke and of course, with the Mars landings, the time maybe right for this kind of bull.

Here's lookin at you, part 3

Posted By Nico Taelman
Interesting train of thoughts but calculating the chances for it is crazy I would say..no offense Mike! I believe in extraterrestrial life, I believe there's lots of it so in my frame of mind you might as well say that whenever you look at a galaxy there is 'someone' on the opposite side looking back, not?

Fossils ?

Posted By Nico Taelman
Oh no!! Next thing we should be expecting are freaks seeing all kinds of Alien creatures near the landers like they 'saw' them near Pathfinder...
There sure are people with lots of imagination out there!
How about those fossils now?
Haha..
