In some other thread I posted pictures taken by backyard telescopes.

I think these "amateurs" you are referring to are only seeing what they want to see. I can take a picture that ends up fuzzy and say it is anything I want, but that does not make it fact without all the rest of the supporting calculations.

IMO, I believe the idea that Elenin is a Brown Dwarf was jumped on by the "2012 doomsdayers". And basic science will demonstrate that anything that massive (4 times the mass of jupiter) as close as elenin is right now, would have already ripped our solar system to bits.
Lovin that your have all the kit check off!

Good find....The thing that sucks with finding out information like this is, the powers that be will not let anyone know until it actually hits!! Nobody will be granted any type of warning....That is why I love this site...Keep us posted...

1. The news is NOT fram NASA. They have nothing to do with it.
2. Somebody has noticed that three earthquakes (BUT not the three worst in the last year) can be matched somewhat roughly to "alignments" of comet Elenin.
3. Therefore, it must be THE CAUSE.
Logic isnt the strong point here.

That's the closest that the comet gets to Earth, using his same logic and link.
Not sure that is close enough to worry about. Yet.
Sorry, one edit. I worked on a campus for several years. Trust me, just because someone is a "Dr." does NOT mean that they are smart, nor does it mean that they have even the most basic common sense.
