This process applies to Sky-Watcher HEQ-5 and EQ6-R mounts but should work with other mounts with slight modifications to the procedure.  Why do we need to Polar Align Since the Earth is constantly spinning around the celestial north pole, the stars will appear to move around that pole during the night. (It’s actually the Earth that’s moving but from our perspective it appears that stars are moving.)Polar alignment is the process of aligning the RA axis of our telescope mount with the celestial north pole so that when the motor moves our telescope around the RA axis throughout the night, it will track the stars properly. The above diagram shows the celestial north pole and the movement of a …
We all knew this was coming but it still hurts. Limbaugh was an incredible man that was both inciteful and entertaining. He stood up when most others were afraid to do so and let the rest of us know that it was ok to be conservative. For over thirty plus years, five days a week, three hours a day he educated and entertained us and it never got boring. That’s a pretty big accomplishment. I’m convinced that the country would be in a much worse place today if it wasn’t for Rush. He slowed down the take over by the left and trained a generation of people how to fight for what you believe in. Thank you Rush. The world …
It’s like watching a Road Runner cartoon. Every time the Democrats are about to drop an anvil on Trump it flips around and comes crashing down on them. They’ve tried connecting him to the Russians, tried getting him on tax evasion, tried getting him for inciting insurrection and yet nothing sticks. Either Trump is a hell of a lot smarter than they are or the Democrats are a bunch of lying, race baiting weasels with nothing of substance to offer so they have to resort to lying, pitting people against each other and cheating in order to win. Or maybe it’s all of the above.
This is a very enjoyable movie about the life of Julia Child and a young woman, Julia Powell, who decides to cook and blog about every recipe in Child’s cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” Meryl Streep, of whom I’ve never been a fan, does an amazing job of portraying Julia Child. She captures her mannerisms and vocal patterns perfectly and makes you believe that she truly is Julia Child. I looked it up and found that although nominated for the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role she did not win. Instead the Oscar went to Sandra Bullock for her role in “The Blind Side.” Bullock was wonderful in that movie but Streep did …
I don’t know Gina Carano and I’ve never seen The Mandalorian and now never will. Ms. Carano was fired because she posted the text and image on the top of this page to her Instagram account. Apparently, Disney corporation found it offensive and used it as an excuse to get rid of her. There was nothing offensive about her post. She was pointing out and rightfully so, that targeting a group of people and blaming them for all the worlds problems is the first step to a much darker place. She’s absolutely right about that. Add to that, that other people; liberals that work for Disney, have also posted things that some would deem controversial but were not fired or …
I saw this on another board and thought it was perfect. I couldn’t agree more.
They always accuse us of being the racists because we don’t want illegals streaming over the borders, but every once and a while they reveal themselves for what they are.
