@ bobhaha, Gotcha, the wording on that wasn't real clear though, & when you're speed reading, easy to miss. I got it now though, Thanks pal...............rob

awesome shot!!!!!

I suppose there is software available that can predict those transits accurately for any location on earth, so it might be less of a lucky shot than you'd think. I suppose it would be possible to trigger automatically, though half a second is enough to do it manually if you have quick reflexes

Frequent those sites often T_J?? I kinda figured you to be more interested in the lesbian sites myself.:crackup:

Noooo, I was posting that for you.

Kind of funny that site had more pictures, and info than most of the other sites. I guess the gay population has more interest in solar photos than us. Who'd figure.

Strange that it can focus on something a hundred miles away AND something 93 million miles away at the same time.

I may be wrong, but wouldn't staring at the sun for hours through a camera be bad? I mean it's not like he was in the house with his camera and went "Oh shoot! it's 12:34:43 I only have 5 more seconds, quick grab, point, shoot...GOTCHA!" If it was intentional he/she must have sat there for a little while, staring at the sun..and...oh! black thing!...damn just another bird.

I don't think so. I'm sure you can program the camera to take a shot in a instant, the telescope to track the sun and you can predict the exact instant this things happen with programs

 

[Tech_Junkie]

The camera was only exposed for under half a second. As Lucy said, its on a tracking tripod. You cant get any really good celestial photos without one.

[Tech_Junkie]

[Tech_Junkie]

You dont get to pick the nickname you are dubbed with. Its bestowed on you by friends. In my old neighborhood everyone had a nickname.

 

[Deleted member 8382]

I'm seriously considering changing my nickname lol

isn't hallu just enough?

 

[Tech_Junkie]
