Astrophotography on a Shoe String?

In that case alt.astronomy full of AIs

This is a simple matter of pointing out that planetary heliocentric
motion is seen directly from Earth,the original poster of this thread
can develop time lapse footage to support this great Western
astronomical achievement and demolish the pathetic Newtonian reasoning
that disregards this easily understood working principle of Copernicus
and Kepler.

The great astronomers such as Copernicus and Kepler would have
marvelled at the ability of time lapse footage to represent their
working principles for the Earth's planetary motion and it is up to any
astrophotographer tocreate new ways to make the original insight
blossom.

As for Newtonian empiricists,well their time has come and
gone,technology has outrun the abtruse and destructive notions.Looking
at the other thread,it must seem like they are impressing the hell out
of each other but the point of departure for their comical celestial
sphere system is contrary to the time lapse footage of Saturn,Jupiter
and an orbitally moving Earth overtaking both.

The following statement is entirely false,not just for Copernican
heliocentricity but for its Ptolemaic astronomical roots -

"For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct, sometimes
stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun they are
always seen direct, " Newton

Defending the honor of Isaac is fine for theorists,but considering what
is at stake with 21st century data and global
climate,astrophotographers can play their part in restoring an
astronomical heritage from behind centuries of linguistic empirical
junk.




There is no such thing as artificial intelligence,there is however such
a thing as intuitive intelligence and most people here, and especially
the empiricists, have this faculty beaten out of them and
unfortunately the intellectual intelligence which affirms or rejects
these intuitive insights based on physical considerations never really
mesh.

You are an idiot!

He can track the position of a planet against the stellar background
just as the Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomers did.He can assemble a
series of images of planetary positions to each other using the stellar
background as a reference but paying no attention to a celestial sphere
structure.

The only thing you continue to do is demonstrate that you are a loon.

Oriel is in fact an interesting development in AI. If you make your AI
look like it's crazy, then the horrible inconsistencies in its
behaviour won't look like it's a computer program, but the erratic
ramblings of a madman.

I can prove he's a computer program, just by the fact that he'll
probably respond to me, and his post will have little, if anything to
do with my post. He'll probably go on about newtonian motion and how
it's bumkus, despite the fact that I haven't refuted anything he's said.
