Now, why don't you tell us where you took that photo of M31? As I
said
earlier, it wasn't taken within 50 miles of New York.


I'm guessing that you mean 50 miles from Manhattan or even the
boroughs.
I know you're pretty ignorant, but you might want to check maximum
elevation and distance of Kent Cliffs. The photo was taken from my
deck as stated.


You checkmated yourself a while back with this one.


OK Kent Cliffs is *60* miles north of NYC.
My statement was that it taken more than 50 miles
from NY.
Far from checkmating myself, I have shown you
what can be gleaned from even a poor quality image.


You said it wasn't taken from my home.


I don't think that I said that at all. I "found it difficult"
to believe that you took it from home, as I thought that
you lived nearer NYC. The only definite statement
that I made was that the image was not taken within 50
miles of NY. You have proved that I am absolutely correct, as
usual.


It was.
You were wrong and even more so since you added the part about
distance, so you were even wrong about where I actually am. So you
were wrong twice.


Nonsense! Was it taken from Kent Cliffs? Unless there is more than
one
Kent Cliffs in NY, then it was taken 60 miles from the city.


Nonsense? Haven't you been crying that my photo couldn't POSSIBLY
taken from my home? So what exactly were you wrong about? You didn't
know where I live, but still questioned where it was taken?
Hmmmmm?


Now, now, Bob. Calm down.

You are acting like an hyerstical "B" rated actress from the 1930's.

All I said was that it wasn't taken within 50 miles of
NY.


As you know, I was correct. I do understand that you are
irritated by my ability to interpret your rather poor
astrophotograph - taken without a wedge!

I have to hand it to you. At least you recognise that you
would need a wedge to take a proper photo, with that cheap
fork mounted scope. What you don't know, is that even with a wedge,
that setup cannot produce a decent photo.

If you want to take photos, then you need a proper GEM,
or you can spend a million or two on a fork and wedge.
