Are You Reading Too Much?

Pieces of the productivity puzzle. You are here: Home. Are You Reading Too Much? Are You Reading Too Much? I ran across and interesting quote by Albert Einstein the other day. Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. This isn’t exactly the best known quote by Einstein. What they want to do. October 20, 2011 at 8:05 pm. Daniel M. Wood. October 21, 2011 at 6:21 am.

Focal point for current astroimagers and newcomers. My Latest Astro Image: Tips and Tricks for Star Trails. Here’s my latest astrophoto of star trails over Sidon’s Sea Castle. I’ll describe how I took it and hopefully convey a few tips and tricks for taking your own similar photos. I’ve already written about what star trails are and the basics about taking them here: http:/ lebastrophoto.blogspot.com/2012/04/stellar-trails.html. Which combined the individual 30 second frames into the final image with tra...

Lebanese Astrophotographers -LebAstroPhoto: Imaging Opportunity: Quadruple Conjunction
http://lebastrophoto.blogspot.com/2012/06/imaging-opportunity-quadruple.html
Focal point for current astroimagers and newcomers. Imaging Opportunity: Quadruple Conjunction. This time I am writing to raise your attention to a very amazing celestial conjunction, a quadruple conjunction. The conjunction involves each of the "waning" crescent moon, Venus (brightest of all except for Crescent), Jupiter, and Aldebaran (alpha Tau). You may also consider that around the conjunction there is the Pleiades and Capella! In increasing order of magnitude*:. Vega (alpha Lyr): 0.00. Details for ...

Lebanese Astrophotographers -LebAstroPhoto: Stellar Trails
http://lebastrophoto.blogspot.com/2012/04/stellar-trails.html
Focal point for current astroimagers and newcomers. One of the simplest, easiest, and most rewarding astrophotos you can take are star trails photos. All that is required is a camera capable of relatively long exposures, a tripod, cable release, a free computer program, and a moderately dark site. So what are trails and star trails photos exactly? Well, as I mentioned in the Camera and Tripod Astrophotography. But, who said trails are not nice looking? Now you've got a star trails photo! Finally, because...

Focal point for current astroimagers and newcomers. Venus Transit (2012): Some collected images. Here are my images of the transit (first two). They are not great the setting was not appropriate for astroimaging as I was participating in a public observing event. I was able to catch these images in between observers:. Through my cams' zoom only! You can see Venus in the upper centre! Telescope eyepiece view @ 85x. And here's an image by my collaborator astroZ. Saida, Al Janoub; astroZ.

Lebanese Astrophotographers -LebAstroPhoto: Conventions
http://lebastrophoto.blogspot.com/2012/07/conventions.html
Focal point for current astroimagers and newcomers. This is to make a convention between us (me astrobob and you the reader) regarding some terms I use to ease any confusion that might arise due to those terms. Here's a list of the them and what I mean by them:. 0300 hrs = 03:00 AM. 1700 hrs = 05:00 PM. 2012-06-06 1200 hrs = 2012-06-06 12:00 PM (i.e; mid-day). 2012-06-07 0000 hrs = 2012-06-06 12:00 AM (i.e; mid-night or start of new day! Image = photo (astroimaging = astrophotography).

Focal point for current astroimagers and newcomers. Catch a Shooting Star! Last night was the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower. Having never photographed a meteor, I thought this would be a good chance to try to capture a picture of one. And guess what, I got one! The picture shows ten minutes worth of star trails and the meteors streak in the center. So how can you take such a picture? Links to this post. Circumpolar Trails and Helpful WebPages on Trails.

Focal point for current astroimagers and newcomers. Transit of Venus (2012). 160; WARNING. This special event is the Transit of Venus. Ie; transit of the planet Venus in front -from our viewpoint- of the Sun). The two events are separated by about 8 years. This is characteristic of such a phenomenon which occurs twice every 120 years, as Ive mentioned above. That is, it occurs in pairs (e.g; 2004/2012). The next pair will start in the year 2117.
