Ken31 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Maybe this is a bit cheeky of me, but anyway...I confess to not wanting to devote my time to keeping a constant vigil on this forum (bad, I know...). I could, however, set up an email alert on a particular topic that is reserved for breaking news (eg auroras, novae, comets, whatever). Is there such a topic, and if not should there be?

Ken31 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Just a little amuse-bouche pre-Christmas: there was a programme about John Denver on BBC FOUR tonight, and it talked about the Persied meteor shower inspiring a line in a song. The illustration was a time-lapse video of stars and Milky Way diurnal motion, with streaks across the sky. The streaks were aeroplanes, not meteors!

Ken31 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe this is a bit cheeky of me, but anyway...I confess to not wanting to devote my time to keeping a constant vigil on this forum (bad, I know...). I could, however, set up an email alert on a particular topic that is reserved for breaking news (eg auroras, novae, comets, whatever). Is there such a topic, and if not should there be?Well, is there??I didn't find out about aurora until the 10pm news, by which time it was pretty cloudy around here.

Ken31 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Guys (& gals): my last camera just gave up the ghost, and have replaced it with a Fuji FinePix HS50EXR (another bridge camera, I can't justify the expense and upkeep of a DSLR body and multiple lenses). The HS50 has a 42X zoom (1000mm equivalent) lens with image stabilisation, so my first test was a hand held shot (leaning against a post) at 42X: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
