I have placed a photo in the folder physics911, that I find quite interesting. It was taken about 19:45, 10/14/2005 from the southwest side of Indianapolis...

... When you upload a large picture to the photos section, yahoo creates a smaller version (but larger than the thumbnail) for the other members to see, and...
John, I appreciate all your help with this. I will follow up on some of your software suggestions and see if I can narrow this thing down a bit more. However,...
... I'm not saying that the object you saw moving was a bird, but that the object in front of the moon was not the ISS, and looks like a bird. As you ...
The time, I am only guessing at. I was out there for quite a while and wasn't looking at a clock. So I could be a good 45 minutes off on that. Also, when you...
... Most likely it was earlier than 19:45. All the sats I looked at that went near the moon at that time disappeared into the earth's shadow shortly before...
The next PGO open house is this Saturday, when Mars will be closer than at any time in the next decade. Since it's so close to Halloween, Russ is having a...
John, I am sorry I was vague with the time. I estimated the time only for reference. I didn't think anyone would waste their time doing the calculations I...

Thought I would quit lurking and introduce myself. I am 51 and have had the urge to stargaze since I was a teenager and over the years I have managed to look...
Greg, Welcome, as you jump in with both feet, er eyes. See you Saturday! Russ Kaspar Shine 99/WSHW & WILO Station Manager V.P. Kaspar Broadcasting Co., Inc....
Unfortunately you have to take the curvature of the Earth into the calculations. Reason being is the ISS is a near Earth orbiting object. Your method of not...
Hey all, Thought I would toss out there for viewing my image of Mars from earlier this morning. My telescope and I got rather frosted but well worth the...
... Thanks Russ.....Really enjoyed coming out and spending time with you folks....The views and the welcome are much appreciated and I had a great time. Just...
... Actually, it's more accurate for low objects. As I pointed out, the size change for an object at 30 degrees alt angle vs at the zenith, if you don't ...
When we bought the 16" for PGO, it was used and the previous owner included a case of eyepieces. Some are basic to intermediate Meades, but the rest are nice...
Thanks John.....let me know, if I can help myself and help you guys recycle some un-needed equipment in the bargain then by all means bring it on :) Right now...
for the record... the eyepiece in your scope was is a celestron SMA 25mm..a beefy one, but still not a plossl;-) I'd certainly look in to the 15mm and the...
