My husband known here to some of you as Freddie passed away earlier this morning, He knew this day would come because he had been very ill for some time. He wanted me to make a last post for him in the event that it did. He is at peace now and with the stars he loved so much.

Universal Rotation Theory... http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1985MNRAS.213..917B
-
Something has my curiosity on the rotation thing, we use the cosmic microwave background radiation to settle current universal rotation possibilities but since this radi was laid down at the beginning of the universe and the universe has evolved and it's physics have changed so drastically were the dominant forces are now altered its possible I believe the science is not as settled as some assume, I have been right before in similar matters and only time will tell but I"m certainly learning a lot about astro physics and the universe in the process.
Cool you are also thinking outside the box, what's inside is so yesterday.
Freddie.

House hunting for the first time in 25 years with an obsy site the #1 priorety this go round, thank goodness for google maps street view and online LP maps ?
-
Yes nowhere but not too far from somewhere or the perfect balance is a difficult search even with good tools, elevation, darkness, the proper zoning to allow the obsy build and of course then the wife has to like the house.
Thanks I will need to be both shrewed and lucky to get this all just right, a 15' dome with a two foot skirt will house a 20" Stargate dob...I will post the build here at some point ?
