Beautiful. Thanks for the links, Pete.

Amazing! I didn't realize there were so many HII regions in Cygnus.

Really good pic, Pete. I assume You used a motorized tracking system.
What was the length of each exposure?

Now that the 20D has been discontinued, I wonder if there will be a
replacement.

Ten a penny on a google image search -

You see coathangers,I see the individual stars of a giant stellar
island that,in principle,are changing their orientation to the
external galaxies.From that point of departure it becomes possible to
create the working principles for bigger celestial structures on the
scale of galaxies


The summer triangle only works for celestial sphere geometry -

No wonder you believe 'every valid point is the center of the universe'
!.

So let's see one that *you've* taken, Gerald.

Well if it is'nt the astrochav.

The constellations are a wonderful thing,in fact the Ra/Dec geometry
which keeps a star within a constellation tied to a terrestial
meridian in 23 hours 56 min bears a strange resemblence to a
warped-space-every-valid-point-is-the-center-of-the-universe you guys
subscribe to.


Let me show you what the geometry of 23 hours 56 min 04 sec looks like

http://www.opencourse.info/astronomy/introduction/02.motion_stars_sun...



Sometimes it is called Isaac's clockwork mechanical solar system or
albert's universe but it would be hilarious if it were not that it
highlights the absence of real astronomers.As far as I am concerned,the
worst is over,the silly wordplays that emerged with Newton cannot
compete with contemporary technology which affirms just how wonderful
the original Copernican insight is and the later refinements.

Would love to see the Panis Quadragesimalis of Kepler,seen on page 86
*, rendered into an animated graphic form in terms of raw data against
the stellar background and orbital comparisons between Mars and Earth
as he originally intended.

Yes, sorry. Normally I don't.
