"Nav" wrote in message ... Aha! Another great ASA competition. Will you both wager a something to make it interesting? I wouldn't bet a penny that I could take a decent photo in the next month. I'm quite willing to try, and I'm willing to publish the result. How will you both prove you actuially took the photo? I wouldn't feel the need to prove anything. I suspect that any photos that I take in the next month will be of a standard that doesn't invite suspicion. How about I find you both a comet to take at a certain time. That way you cannot use a photo from the web as the star positions would be wrong... 30 % of my sky (to the west) is light polluted! 30% is obscured by trees! If you can find a comet of Mag 8 or better, near the zenith, then I'll have a go. Regards Donal -- |

Q2 will be will be 2 degrees 2' 4" from HIP17240 (which happens to be a supergiant star). Bwhahhahahahaha I glad you like egg, it's dripping down your face!

You could of gotten that off a web site....

So, you disparage my truthful statement with no basis. I could have
understood a challenge like " So what is the name and serial number of the software Nav" but not this. What a pity. Cheers. Overproof wrote: I don't know... I've never been to Donal's web site.

You could get that off the web as well..... why not take a picture of
yourself next to the equipment... and do try to avoid any "red-eye" please! CM "Nav" wrote in message ... So, you disparage my truthful statement with no basis.

I'm unlikely to be in a position where I could see it until mid-January, due to light pollution. Perhaps, you could check our weather to find a suitable time when we could both take a photo after 15th Jan. Of course, to make the whole thing really interesting, you should use the two photos to work out the distance to Machholz from the parallex!!! Regards Donal -- |
