Apparently, he was.

Who knew??

No you wouldn't see stars is an ISS image to show detail of the station.

Harnett set her camera’s shutter speed to 1/1600 of a second, aperture at f/8 and ISO to 2500.

Stars WON'T show at 1/1600th of a second at f8

Here this is what a good amatuer astronomer can produce

You don't need expensive equipment
Here is Andromeda M31 taken with a DSLR & 300mm lens

We have many members on here that take images

Calling all Astrophotographers, all skill levels. Post your work

Now you are effectively calling all those members liars which I think should give you posting restrictions or even a ban

59 pages - and all that remains is turbo troll and sophist troll . hmm

i did get an interesting " suggestion " on my y-tube panel yesterday :



i wonder where " a certain person " gets thier " ideas " ??????????

we are truely going round in ircles - just like a sphereroid earth in the heliocentric model - i wonder if any of our troll aprreciate the irony thier ?

No need to be so modest!

ATS's FE expert is still here as well: IA. ---^
But you're not a troll.
You're just really good at calling other people trolls.

Can't you accept that some folks have different beliefs than you do?
If you never saw another FE thread or video, for the rest of your life: what would it change?

If some child gets a pancake for Christmas, instead of a globe: what does it matter to us?

a reply to: Nothin

They would be given a lie that's why it matters.

The Earth is a globe only IDIOTS think otherwise.

There are all kinds of lies told on Christmas.
Why not protest those?

Do you care if your village-idiot believes in some fantasy?
Do you care if children believe in Santa, or the Easter-Bunny?

Given that that is exactly what you're claiming now, that's self evident, isn't it?

That no matter the proofs, you and others would claim "fake". Deny. Deny. Deny.

Your sophistry disproves nothing. This world, and all the other we know of, are round.

Am claiming what?

Why do you believe, that others, should share your belief in spherical worlds?
Why does it matter?

That's the part that the flat earth faithful never get right. The spherical nature of the Earth isn't a belief it's a FACT. People get annoyed when flat earther's try to claim their magical space pizza, which is a 100% faith based belief system is somehow as valid as undeniable, physical evidence. Just once I want a flat earther to explain how a sunset works in their model without having to resort to magic or "god dun did it". A simple event viewed by billions of people every day is physically impossible on a flat earth, yet flat eather's have no problem hand waiving it away because their faith is stronger than reality, that's the problem.

Have you ever considered that maybe not only the 'flat earth faithful', would question the supposed shape of this place?
Am willing to accept that you believe that it is a 'fact'. No problem.

Is your main problem with the FE Theory: that is is an annoyance?
So what, if that's all that it is?

Why do you care about what others might believe?
Do you condemn anyone, and everyone, for any and every belief?
Do you not hold any beliefs?

How do you know, that the FET, is not something other than a belief-system?

It can go both ways. It's either a deeply held faith or just good old fashioned mental illness.

Well: at least you think you know what it is, and don't have any doubts nor useless open-mindedness.

Probably much more mentally reassuring, to figure that one has it all figured-out: than to ask silly questions.

Do you have anything else to teach us, about faith, or mental-illness?

Ladies and gentlemen - is it not time to stop feeding the troll?

But, it's so easy.

Yes, but when the fun stops, stop.

mkay

mmmhp

a reply to: Phage

Steady, no. 1.

a reply to: oldcarpy

the " fun " of trolling the sophist ended when , it claimed that :

it didnt trust any one elses observations

THEN turned round and :

admitted that it used google maps to navigate

at that point - it shot itself in the foot - and revesasled it was a piss taking little twunt

a reply to: ignorant_ape

I like "twunt" - great word. Not heard it before. Very apt.

the problem with the flat earth delusion is :

an utter lack of concensus

can anyone cite a cflat earth " argument " - that can answer all observations - without loosing internal consistency ?

there are multiple coflicting claims - that cannot all be true

itts all verty well to " question things " - but when you dont accept the answers - you are just taking the piss

ther spheroid model - answers all questions - accuratly - and coherently - it has 100% internal consistency - does not lie about its facts or observations , has no schisms . and more that 75% of its claims can be duplicated and confirmed by oradinary people with modest skills and equipment

like i asked ealier - cite a flat earth claim - that complies with all the above paragraph - i shall wait

so maybe that the answer - ignore anyone who will not explain thier model - and defend it coherently

^ that rules out 2 people straight away
