so... thats a '30 second exposure', steady as a rock, of THE MILKY WAY !!!... 'from the ISS', in 2003.
and now TODAY, we have 'THE STARS', in a '1 second exposure' of the INDIA/PAKISTAN BORDER.
PLUS, those 2 other 'shuttle-docking' with stars in background.
4 pictures. WITH 'REAL' STARS.
1 SECOND EXPOSURES.

NA$A, IS THAT IT ? ...FOUR (4) 'REAL STARS' 'PHOTOS' ???
W... T... F... ???




fuck it! ...LOVIN' THE 'PHANTOM' 'DEATH STAR', ANYWAYS... !!!

EPIC LONG-EXPOSURE CAPTURING THE LUMINOUS RADIANT BEAUTY OF THE X-FIGHTER & DEATH STAR & FAR-AWAY GALAXIES FROM
"NO-STARS WARS II" - THE ENDEAVOURS SKIES BLACK.


THE AWESOME POWER OF 'THE FORCE' IS FULLY REVEALED IN THIS BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST ADJUSTED DETAIL...
THE PHANTOM DEATH-STAR, THE DEATH-STAR, AND THE X-FIGHTER ALL DESTROY EACH OTHER WITH LASERS
SIMULTANEOUSLY IN A PERFECT ISOCELES TRIANGULAR CO-ORDINATE TRIPLE K.O. EXTINCTION-MOMENT.

starring ...Samuel L Jackson as 'R2-D2'
..............Rotating White Dots as 'STARS'
& introducing........Space as 'THE GALAXY'

yup, those "STAR CAPTURING NA$A NIKONS" have come a real long way recent...
way cool how the ISS ASTRONUTS capture the "DARK SIDE OF THE DEATH STAR"

Thanx to Neil, Buzz & Mike, EVERYONE KNOWS you cant see any stars "FROM SPACE ",
& thanx to NA$As' ISS... we all now know you can see THE STARWARS DEATH STAR,
instead...

Exposure Time: 300/10 sec.

Yup, long exposure. Thanks for proving my point!

so... in 2003 an ISS NA$A Nikon needed 30 seconds exposure time to capture stars,
while in 2011 an ISS NA$A Nikon needed a 1 second exposure time to capture stars.

[Heiwa]

I cannot understand that, if you cannot see or photograph the stars from the Moon, how can you see and photograph them from Earth? Or from a satellite. How can the Hubble satellite see anything?

How many stars do you want to capture? You'll capture a lot more in 30 seconds than in 1 second, regardless of the year.

You can photograph stars from the moon, just not at the same time that you record the daylit surface of the moon - the latter will be dramatically over-exposed in any image set to capture stars.

Dear Astronut,

I kindly asked you to introduce yourself here: http://www.cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=838
Please do so - as every new member is required to give a minimum of background of him/herself. Thanks.

There. Told you all you need to know.

Oh thanks, dear Astronut. That was a fine effort from you:

Hi. I'm an amateur astronomer.
http://www.cluesforum.info/viewtopic.ph ... 6#p2365536

Let me hazard a guess - since your obnoxious arrogance (what with calling me a liar and such) has already bored the wits out of me:

Are you by any chance the "amateur astronomer" credited with this droll image published on NASA's website?
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/ ... 0808a.html


Great job catching the stars, Scott!
So are you Scott Ferguson, dear Astronut? Or is that "scottaferguson@...." e-mail addy of yours just a coincidence? Also, and since we are at it, are you by any chance related to this guy? :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Ferguson
"Ferguson was assigned as commander of STS-135, which was the final mission of the space shuttle program."

Just asking - since YOU asked for it.

[HonestlyNow]

. . . are you by any chance related to this guy?

From Christopher Ferguson Wikipedia page

Personal
Ferguson, who is of Polish descent, is married to Sandra and has three children. When he was in space for his wedding anniversary, NASA played the Frankie Valli song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" as the wake-up music that morning, after which Ferguson wished his wife a happy anniversary.

How Sweet! (??????)

Gee, if Mr. astronaut was a real guy with real imagery then why would he come across as a jerk. Heck he could politely reveal his smoking gun images and then explain them rather than arguing in circles about why NASA makes stars happen on some days and forgets to add them into their photos on other days.

Yeah sure it is exposure time, but they only recently figured out how to deal with exposure time recently. Go figure. And yet NASA launches probes to Pluto.

The one or three tiny bolts anchoring the space shuttle is still kind of iconic in its absolute lack of physical possibility for anyone with a Brain. Heck it is like saying jet planes can burn down the WTC with jet fuel and then cause a pancake collapse.

Mr astronaut why can't you just speak like a normal person about your real world experiences with the space program.

I work with anthrax and can tell you any number of details about the disease, but I cannot vouch for the images of the postal workers that the US government says died from the anthrax attacks around 9/11. Those images of the vics have problems -- like photoshop copy and paste problems. So while I work in that particular field I cannot just simply swallow every image as truth when they shout ugly inconsistencies.

But I never had to be adamant about it in an obnoxious way.

Space is real. NASA imagery of their missions appear to have significant issues. But why don't you explain the engineering of 3-bolt harnesses and star placements and exposures with a little credulity and composure. We are listening.

[astronut]

Let me hazard a guess - since your obnoxious arrogance (what with calling me a liar and such) '

Well, you did lie about the number of bolts that secures the shuttle to the external tank, I'm still left wondering why.

Are you by any chance the "amateur astronomer" credited with this droll image published on NASA's website?
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/ ... 0808a.html

Indeed I am. You can cut the sarcasm crap, I'm an amateur astronomer, just like it says. That particular image was also picked up by Universe Today.
http://www.universetoday.com/88524/firs ... -portrait/

I was wondering if you would resort to searching around about my real identity under the pretenses that I'm posting dishonestly, sure enough you lived down to expectations.

Also, and since we are at it, are you by any chance related to this guy? :

"Ferguson was assigned as commander of STS-135, which was the final mission of the space shuttle program."
Just asking - since YOU asked for it.

No, I didn't ask for it. And no, I'm not related to shuttle commander Christopher Ferguson, but more relevantly to the thread, I did capture STS-135 and gained a fair bit of attention for it as an amateur astronomer.

[astronut]

i like it.
if this is what it takes to authentically replicate what the naked eye sees...
then why are NA$A too dumb to EVER do it themselves ?!?

Actually it shows you far more than the naked eye sees... and NASA does do it themselves:
http://epoxi.umd.edu/3gallery/deepsky.shtml

why cant NA$A stack long exposures to replicate the authentic EARTH IN SPACE WITH STARS view ?

If you take a long exposure while pointed at earth from the shuttle or ISS, all you'll see is white. Earth is very bright. Now, you can include earth in the view when on the night side, but if you stack multiple images earth will be blurred.
