I do not know who you are Sir but for once you have correctly
identified what most people here are - astrophotographers.

The exquisite astronomical heliocentric insights and their refinements
such as Kepler's and Roemer's never required a telescope for the
working principles are strictly intutive when it comes to cosmological
motion and structure.Telescopes are a much later invention and enter
astronomy long after the great heliocentric insights emerged (apart
from Roemer's insight ).

uk.sci.astrophotography is a better name for this forum and those who
participate in basing images on a calendrically driven clockwork
celestial sphere and it is certainly a good pursuit.It is not and never
can be astronomy,amateur or otherwise with the working principles it
adheres to for while astrophotographers can graduate to astronomical
working principles making themselves astronomers,astrophotographers are
not astronomers.

The search to find a living astronomer who has the feel for
astronomical methods and insights,such as basic Copernican
heliocentricity,has now reached ridiculous proportions.Not one person
can judge where Newton's misread plotted data and mangled astronomical
methods and principles even when time lapse fottage of the foraward
motion of the Earth overtaking the slower forward motion of the outer
planets makes understanding the Copernican reasoning easy -

The response of the astrophotographers and those who are not genuine
astronomers is that there is nothing wrong with Newton's view -

"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

If you have to defend Newton's error than this is how you know you are
not and never can be an astronomer.Again,thanks for accurately
assigning the correct name to your telescopic exercise and perhaps
others will eventually appreceate the difference between astronomers
and astrophotographers without prejudice.

No, but the dog's name is 'Lucky'!

Lucky?

That looks like Frankenstein's monster coming over the hill towards him.

The variable tilting Earth gang -

http://www.scienceu.com/observatory/...s/earthyrb.gif

And their hemispherical Earth doctrines -

http://www.analemma.com/Pages/framesPage.html


The Equation of Time is actually the rate of change in orbital
orientation as constant axial rotation returns to its noon position,it
has absolutely no axial orientation component otherwise that amounts to
a hemispherical variable axial tilting Earth.

This information is lost on your kind however the climatologists who
require a global explanation for climate norms rather than the really
dumb hemispherical meteorological weather patterns which are just a
convenience.Astrophotographers,of course,believe that meteorological
patterns or seasons are a hemispherical phenomena and do not make it to
the level of global astronomical causes for climate norms.

Turns out that intellectual and intutive imbalances are more dangerous
and frightening than climate imbalances and these empirical dark ages
will certainly be seen as a temporary destructive phase in human
endeavor.Carry on with your pretty pictures,climatologists and other
responsible investigators will soon have a more accurate mechanism for
climate norms,free of the variable axial tilting mob of which you are a
part.

Dunno how it got out, anyway, it's back where it belongs.

Nobody has to read an article so why bother with these silly killfiles.

No doubt you believe that the Eareth tilted a little bit towards the
Sun over the last 24 hours or did it tilt a little bit away from the
Sun,the eternal conundrum of the hemispherical Earther and his
analemma.

What really happened is that the Earth's orbital orientation to the Sun
changed and longitudinally,that rate of change in embedded in the
Equation of Time correction.

The trouble with you and your colleagues is that you imagine that this
is a minor issue that was resolved centuries ago but nothing could be
further from the truth,at least for people who are genuinely capable
with the astronomical and geometrical language of heliocentric
astronomers.Unfamiliarity is my only enemy for the more people are
aware of the original reasoning along with contemporary tools such as
time lapse footage of planetary motion,the easier it is to correct
things such as how the clock system refers to axial rotation as an
independent motion or orbital motion in isolation for heliocentric
orbital purposes.Crawling into a killfile is your own business but it
matters little to me what you do,in matters refering to
timekeeping,planetary motions and celestial structure that is my
business while astrophotography is yours.
