I don't get out into the Wasatch anywhere near what I did in the 80s or early 90s. But the ocassional hike, telemark turn or diagnol stride up a side trail can still get my heart fluttering - in a good way!

Hi All, For fun I've been comparing some of Patrick's asteroid photos, from the set he kindly shared with us. I think I have seen movement in four objects, which I'm wondering about. Could others who are interested take a look at the last pic in my gallery, and let me know what they think? I know the brightest one I marked is one Patrick had been studying, which is definitely an asteroid. But what about the others? Best wishes, Joe --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal.

Hi Joe, Do the objects you are referring to show up in every image? patrick On 03 Dec 2007, at 01:07, Joe Bauman wrote:

I compared two sets of two images, and in both sets they were present and had moved. I think I saw another image where I couldn't spot one of them. But I feel pretty strongly that these are in different positions. I did that looking last night after I got home from work, about 11 p.m., and before I went to sleep, so I didn't have time to do much. I'll look some more this afternoon.

I can see definite movement between pics 11 and 19. I have trouble seeing the same thing with some later views, maybe because of changes in the sky's brightness or something moved off the frame, or maybe there were artifacts in the first place. But I tried to eliminate what I considered were artifacts, that is, small bright places where there were because of cosmic rays or blips on the chip. Do you have any shots in the 20s?

Sorry Joe, but while I do see a number of artifacts and ghost images I don't see any other MPs other than the ones we already know are there. Are the objects you see moving in a straight line? Are you viewing the images in quick succession with a blink comparator? Do you have some way of posting an image with the objects highlighted? As for other pictures, the file I posted contained all the pictures I took that evening. patrick On 03 Dec 2007, at 10:31, Joe Bauman wrote:

I use my own eyes -- I look at them so that they are like 3-D images merged, one seen with my left eye, the other with my right. If anything moves against the background it pops out "above" the stars. Or if I switch the pics so that I'm looking at them with other eyes, then the moving objects pop "behind" the plane of the others. It makes it simple to detect any movement, just by searching for a 3-D effect. It only works if you have the ability to let two pics sort of slide on top of each other with your eyes, as if you are staring at something beyond the computer screen.

Hi again, don't want to belabor it. But here's a lesson on the Internet about how to "free view" 3-D images. If the pics are too large, it helps to reduce them, or overlap them a little on the screen so you're not trying to look at the entire view at once. Try it with Patrick's pics 11 and 19. -- Joe http://www.vision3d.com/3views.html

Hi Patrick, I hope the solstice bash went well -- next year we'll have much more time for the enjoyable things of life. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I did a careful comparison on pics I thought showed some movement other than what you knew about. You're right -- when I checked where certain small flaws were offset from stars from pic to pic, the things I was looking at were offset exactly the same amount, proving they are artifacts.
