Guys
During the summer evenings I've been interested in attempting to photograph
the stars.  Even when I set the f-stop to 2.8 and use an 8 second exposure I
still get a VERY black image.  I then have to enhance the image to view the

I was wondering.
What does a planet become when the star that is nearby (i.e Sun for the
Earth) is becoming a white dwarf?
Can a planet still be here or is the amount of energy displayed by the

Does anyone know if the Meade LPI works on Macs?

Some toy model calculations
I. 1 + 1 string spacetime slice, neglecting Weyl conformal dilation but
including energy and momentum translation generators i.e. A00 = Energy
Generator, A11 = Linear Momentum Generator in sense of Noether's theorem

I have a problem with my LX200GPS.
On the autostar II, I can't escape from the tour "tonights best"
(haven't tried the other tours yet). Whenever I press MODE, the tour
just restarts. Any Ideas?

How do we know that looking far away billions of light years is looking
back in time. Maybe what we are looking at happened after we did. Then
wouldn't we be looking ahead in time? We always assume that everything
far away happened way long ago.

So some arbitrary group of busy-body intellectuals with wayyyyyyyyy too
much time on their hands has decided that Pluto is no longer a planet.
Why did anyone think that a definitive planetary definition had to be
resolved?
