That is not what I said. Quote me where I said they used no filters or retract the claim.

At the page you link to, they do show other filters used, but the files will not download for me to try and view.
And of course it's false color.
If the CCD is picking up IR or UV, how could I see it?
You still would see zilch, by eye.

They downloaded for me just fine. I'm calling your BS, you're lying.

No, it is not. You apparently don't even know what the word "color" means. THERE'S NO COLOR THERE! THEY'RE MONOCHROME IMAGES!

THERE'S A TON OF IMAGES OF EACH OBJECT SHOT ENTIRELY IN VISIBLE LIGHT, NO IR, NO UV, IT'S VISIBLE LIGHT! VISIBLE LIGHT!

You are a liar. There's a ton of images there entirely in visible light, no different from images shot on earth with similar filters and telescope systems. I have proven these objects can be seen in visible light in deep space, you are wrong, and now you're just lying.edit on 5-5-2012 by ngchunter because: (no reason given)

Take a Valium ngchunter, and stop shouting, I'm right here!
Monochrome means shades of one colour. White is a mix of all colours. So what colour is gray? Or is that the colour of the electrons from the CCD?
I have proven these objects can be seen in visible light in deep space,
Yes, with long enough exposure and ultra-sensitive instruments. Nobody is claiming the stars don't exist. I am claiming you could not see them if you were out there with the probe/craft.
They downloaded for me just fine. I'm calling your BS, you're lying.
Can someone else try downloading this? I've downloaded lots of stuff today, these poxy images don't come down for me though. And I just tried again, still NG.

Now here are some images taken with a standard camera mounted to the main telescope of the SOFIA project, flying at 45,000 ft or so. I have offered to supply a similar camera if NASA could just duct-tape it somewhere on the ISS pointing out into space and see what it captures. The stars, and comets, should be even clearer from way up there, right?

And the bottom left image here shows what the main, IR SOFIA scope sees. Yes, it's monochrome.

Why bother? You'll just come up with some other weak excuse why it's not good enough (as if your standards mattered at all).
Tell you what - Why don't you do some research for a change, and tell us how high above the horizon the Earth was at each of the Apollo landing sites. Then you can tell us whether or not it was realistic to expect a photograph of an in-focus astronaut with an in-focus Earth in the background to have been taken.

Don't dodge the fact that there is no clear picture of earth taken by a man on the MOON.
And you do know that. You also know that it is on purpose.
Why you ask? Because it would be very, very difficult to fake.
reason alone ljb

Why, according to you, would it be "very very difficult"? A lot of HB's seem to think faking the long segments of uncut video, showing astronauts in a 1/6th gravity, vacuum environment is doable. Why would inserting an image of the Earth be any harder than all of that?
The main reason why you rarely see images of the Earth from the Lunar surface is because the Earth is always high in the Lunar sky. It's not easy for the astronaut to behind himself in the bulky spacesuit to get a photo of it. And it's even more difficult to get another astronaut into that frame, depending on your location on the Moon and how high up the Earth is.

Oh how special!!!
Now be a dear and find one like that from the moon.
No excuse. If they could get there and back they also had the potential to get one just like in your OP. And better yet with a moon hopper in it too!

NO your SPECIAL
Obviously photgraphic exposure is to technical for you so why dont you toddle off and find something you UNDERSTAND!
OH and before anymore smartass comments check camera specsedit on 6-5-2012 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)

You see if the earth was clear it could be checked for accuracy. Like distance , topography, declination and orientation.

This is a flat-out lie:

A lie, or just an incredibly ignorant statement, made by a person who hasn't properly done his/her research.

Now, either run along and learn some facts, or stay and continue to look foolish.
