Danny, I haven't followed all of this long thread, but I feel the best advice, if you haven't had it already, is "Get thee to a good optomotrist". There may be...
Here here (or is it hear hear?). Danny, please let me add to the voices urging you to get your eyes checked. It's not pleasant - my wife goes through it twice...
it is for tonight http://www.nasa. gov/mission_ pages/LCROSS/ news/calling_ amateur_astronom ershtml http://groups. google.com/ group/lcross_observation/...
Dear group, Eric M. Jones of the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (A.L.S.J.) wrote to Harrison ("Jack") Schmitt of Apollo 17, and got a reply! -Hi Gang, (the...
By the way, There should be something on television to show the folks the hundreds of Apollo's Hasselblad-photographs (one after the other, and each one of...
That's part of the reason for the program I'm part of: http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/ambassador/ If you have a little extra time, and can do some outreach, perhaps...
A sad situation... There's this ongoing thing of: "That what people know shall be on primetime-television", and... "We (the TV-people) are almost sure of the...
At the other end of the spectrum Danny, we had a saying in the 60s/70s "Only a government agency could make a trip to the Moon seem boring". When I came here -...
We live in a time of anti-intellectualism,anti-science and a total lack of critical thinking.... To start off, look what happened to Apollo..cuts started under...
Put together an 8 frame mosaic of the 4 day old moon shot with a 3 inch APO and DMK21 camera. Was pleased to record the domes immediately south of Cauchy and...
(O.T.) I wonder how Brian T. O'Leary (which was almost one of NASA's science-astronauts during the Apollo-heydays) described his adventures in his book -The...
Hi Jim, That is a very nice image for that size scope! Good job! Bob ... From: Jim Ferreira To: lunar-observing@yahoogroups.com Sent: 1/2/2009 3:15:55 PM ...
OT.... During my elementary school days...days of Gemini & Apollo, one of my teachers got so flustered that I was "transferred" to another class for a day. ( I...
A quickie... and then... THE MOON!!! I knew a teacher (some sort of lookalike of Basil Fawlty) who wanted to "amuse" us by walking on the classroom's tables,...
Hi, I have a CPC1100 and the color with the supplied 40mm plossl is nice and sharp and gray in color. When I switch to a 25mm Kellner, 17mm Hyperion or 9mm UO...
Hi Jack I combined the images in Photo Shop 5.0. They were all the same exposure and saw the same processing prior to stitching them together, so they went...
OK - I am a little scared of heights. When I saw this photo I actually jumped! I felt like I was looking out of a helicopter into this crater. Wes, you're...
Hey Jim Great image and an LPOD (3 Jan 09) as well! http://lpod.wikispaces.com/January+3%2C+2009 I am amazed you use a 3" - I checked out your site as well -...
Ed, I think many of us share your frustrations. There was and still a very visible terminator between the JFK administration and the LBJ one. Which continues...
My 2¢. The moon is not very big. Traveling around it would be like going from London to Athens or NY to Denver. 1. I absolutely agree that the near side would...
Norman, a bowl-shaped crater once known as Euclides B, has a curious "half-crater" at the southern part of its outer slope. Antonin Rukl depicted Norman's...
Dear friends I test today my old AVI file with two programs and I found Registax is more good in the final result. Maybe I know to use more the Registax! The...
Thanks, Matt. Was tickled to see the image used at LPOD. A feather in the cap, as it were. New Year's Cheer Jim Livermore CA ... one! ... 3 inch ... ...
Indeed, George, there is no arguing with your results. The RegiStax image has a bit more snap to it, though both actually show the same amount of fine...
Hi Danny, I hope you would go to see the doctor as early as possible. A month ago, I noticed there was frequent flash of light at the corner of my right eye. I...
