:( No astrophotos for Leo....

Tue Feb 28, 2006, 4:02 PM
Just as I'd started getting somewhere the clouds decided to obscure my view of Saturn. Not to mention it being -3. So tonights attempt at astrophotography failed miserably. Oh well. I need to better understand my telescope anyway because the tracking system is either not working properly or I've got no idea how it works, or both. It's impossible to keep track of Saturn too because the camera's magnification is significantly higher than that of my wide angle 25mm eyepiece. I either need more patience or better equipment, or both. A set of parfocalising rings or an off axis guider or bino viewers would probably help some. Heehee, I love to think I know what I'm talking about.

Heya! Thanku for the :+fav: and initial feedback! :hug:

I reeaally wanna start on some X-men-themed art, but I have too much philosophy revision! I should be doing it right now! :omg: Am just writing some revision cards for the Third Meditation, but I know the arguments therein are so flawed that there are a great many objections to deal with... *sighs* At least Descartes' replies to most of the objections are pretty easy to remember... they mostly go like:

"...you merely show that you do not have an adequate understanding of what you are trying to criticize!" :lmao:

Or like this:

"This [objection] is indeed worthy of you, O Flesh, and of all those who have only a very confused conception of everything..." !! ... bitch-fight!! :boogie:

Oh well. Here goes...
