  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Success! ASIGN Observatory II got a full night of imaging in last night. Good seeing, late moon and nice and cold.

This is a combined stack of 21 exposures of five minutes each exposure. Trying to make sense of the software was challenging, but the end result was worth the hours of processing. The object is M42, the Great Orion Nebula.
