If my back and hips stay at their rate of pain they're in now, I might load up the scope and about 7pm head for the corner IF (mighty big IF too) we're not covered by another thunderstorm tonight. Right now with my swamp cooler blowing full force inside it's a mear 95F while outside in the shade it's 105F and I don't even WANT to know what the gage would say in the sun. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Sidewalk Astronomy www.sidewalkastronomy.info Astronomy Net Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/astronomy_net In Garden Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/ingarden Blast Off Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/starlords Astro Blog http://starlord.bloggerteam.com/

Well I know what the gage would have said here in the full sunlight of the high mojave desert, 110F at lest and even if I'd like to take a few astro photos I can't as the objects I like are down in the light dome of L.A./Palmdale/Langcaster which even takes away my viewing by normal eyesight. Right now the afternoon Thunderstorms are going on, but they are smaller than what they've been, so I still might get out to go going up on the corner. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Sidewalk Astronomy www.sidewalkastronomy.info Astronomy Net Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/astronomy_net In Garden Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/ingarden Blast Off Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/starlords Astro Blog http://starlord.bloggerteam.com/ <paul@worldstart.zzn.com > wrote in message news:1153867255.994970.219670@m79g2000cwm.googlegroups.com... > > oriel36 wrote: >> Starlord wrote: >> > If my back and hips stay at their rate of pain they're in now, I might >> > load >> > up the scope and about 7pm head for the corner IF (mighty big IF too) >> > we're >> > not covered by another thunderstorm tonight.

Now if you are an astronomer you consider the Earth's motions and orientations in recognising temperature signatures. http://www.climateprediction.net/images/sci_images/annual.gif It is a whole new way to approach climate norms from astronomical causes by showing that seasons are a subset of global climate norms rather than extending hemispherical meteorological patterns to generate climate norms. The biggest problem the planet faces is the obstacles to studying climate using astronomical data rather than climate imbalances themselves.The present conceptions dominated by dumb astrophotographers cannot handle anything but light pollution and cloud cover and the rest be damned. > > -- > The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond > > Telescope Buyers FAQ > http://home.inreach.com/starlord > Sidewalk Astronomy > www.sidewalkastronomy.info > Astronomy Net Online Gift Shop > http://www.cafepress.com/astronomy_net > In Garden Online Gift Shop > http://www.cafepress.com/ingarden > Blast Off Online Gift Shop > http://www.cafepress.com/starlords > Astro Blog > http://starlord.bloggerteam.com/
