New pics. These are a month old, but I forgot to upload them. They are from Sept 29. That was the first night it got really cold and I drove to the Poconos to set up shop, so while the sky was very clear and very dark, it was also very windy. First is another shot at the Andromeda Galaxy...

I was in the country where it was dark and the sky was clear and beautiful, so I aimed my Canon Powershot A85 (a great camera, but not as good as a digital SLR) towards the sky and did a 15 second exposure just to see if it would see the Milky Way (because my eyes could a bit.) The picture...

Attached is a photo of my RA drive. Its an ETX-105. The only visible problem is too much grease, but that's not a fatal issue. There are no chipped teeth, burrs, or anything else visible that could cause the problem. I watched run it for several minutes, then turned the scope off and moved...

This is a 'How did I do this?' teaser. A couple of notes first: - The picture I include is simulated (Googled for a generic shot). Sorry, best I could do without the original. Ignore the fact that a] it's not me, and b] that the pic is indoors. - Even though this is a simulation, I actually...

For my grade 11 physics class I need to take a picture of something and then explain the physics behind it all. I was wondering if any of you had some interesting ideas.

Just caught this on CNN. Get over to http://www.georgewbush.com/ before they take it down. Take a look at the ‘whatever it takes’ photo. It shows a large crowd of US military personnel standing in formation listening to the president. Problem is, it’s a fake picture. If you look closely, you can...

The Eskimo Nebula has always been my favorite: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020407.html

Since the moon always has the same side facing Earth, shouldn't the Earth always be in the same position in the sky when observing from the moon? There's a photo taken by the Apollo 8 crew in a book I have that claims the Earth is rising above the horizon of the moon. The book is "The Rough...
