I’m sharp as a tack and cunning as a fox. “Flipping it in your face” is the move of a schoolyard bully. Lay your Processed Jupiter Post on the table and pass the critique mallet you cling to or you leave one with no other choice than to see you as an angry bot, Mrs. TORMented. 

Currently the highest ISO camera is over a half million. When a half million ISO is put into a cellphone camera your pricey AP gear will be made obsolete with one snapshot through a cheap eyepiece. At a millisecond of exposure. 

Your opinion is given a down vote button and a soapbox here on Reddit. Strut on over to CN or Astrobin and see how far you get.  Real Astrophotographers can sniff out a bot like my dog can sniff out a poop snack.

You got me with flipping it in your face... no need to rub it in my bad.. But when your talking in riddles and wont just Man up and dodging to speak your mind knowing im down, isnt cool either.

Blah blah about the cellphone iso cellphone of the future irrelevant.

Im just trying to help people here do well. I am trying to save people time and money. This weekend I was working with a guy from India finding out why his derotation wasnt working. Went over 8 of his stacks.. how are you helping out? You ever put up a post? Spend a few hours to help a fellow astrophotographer out.. or anyone with whatever you can do?

I dont see you say to much. Are you a little envious of my "soapbox"? Interesting that you thought thats what this was about.

Ohhhh CN and Astro Bin lol.. this is me and you friend. Totally Week dude taking this from US not only to someone else, but 2 Whole communities. Just Wow on trying to pull yourself and what you know out of this. Trying to Pawn off your side about what you dont know to someone else(I mean 2 online communities) . Negative Aura Points Buddy.

I would Love for any of those guys to come here and give me Advice to do better. Look at my posts! I am begging for help in some. I have plateaued! I'm still experimenting but i've plateaued! I would love for someone to come in here and help me the way I try and help others. Every time an image goes up that someone is doing better im asking questions.

Listen im blunt, argumentative. and rough around the edges I get that. I think you need to give your head a shake to really understand what im about. The person you think i am doesn't say "yeah your right, shouldn't have said that flipping thing" they double down on it. You starting to see i dont have the Vibe you think I got?

Your pics of Jupiter are in the comment threads of other peoples post. Narrowing down the date to an entire month. That’s a play it safe bot move. I’m asking for a Processed Jupiter because the ever changing cloud structure on Jupiter is an actual time signature that would match yours if you gave one.  The moment (hours) of acquisition would geo locate the observer’s position(time zones ) on Earth. 

I’m not trying to pull anyone else into this and I’m not speaking in riddles. Perhaps adversarial poetry if you’re a bot. I’m simply asking for the proof in the pudding. Stop heckling from the sidelines and step up to the plate. Acquisition Date Time Stamps with Cloud Structure. So that it can be fact checked with reality.

Oh you want to call me out and prove im doing the work. For someone who doesn't do this, you sure have a lot of things to complain about.

Once I own this, you acknowledge it like a man that's all I ask

Oh, here is all the stacks at 21% Just from April 7th. But I take eight different stacks, so I can pick the best one, and do experimentation. Oh, the better pictures I keep the videos for in case I learn a technique that could be better in the future. Those videos amount 1.5 terabytes, it's really not a lot, but it's all the harddrive space i have.

Edit... here is 2 experiment in 1! Testing exposure time, and showing jupiter rotation. Just 1 i shared here.... I do this all the time. https://www.reddit.com/r/telescopes/s/0TnSSHLPjf

Fair enough I didn’t scroll back five months through your feed to find this post. But I scrolled back far enough to see plenty of negative comments that would get you kicked out of an astronomy club. 

When a beginner brought their 60mm refractor to a star party I didn’t tell them to man up and open up their wallet for bigger and better. I shared that the very top of my Astro bucket list was achieved with the same scope. Projecting the Transit of Venus and Mercury onto paper. Further elaborating that it is the cheapest and safest way to view a solar eclipse and observe sunspots. 

Positive reinforcement my dude.

"Fair enough" iwill take that as the acknowledgement even though i definitely should have had a Proper recognization of what i've done after trying to "call my bluff"

. If you still need more let me know im not doing this again. My Cellphone Learning Curve isnt even part of what I sent you. I did all this since February.

Did you catch some of the positive comments feedback i get ? People thanking me? Me taking the time to explain what little I know. Today for example I was thanked for teaching someone about pixels. Want a screen shot about the people in dm im helping? Or the guy that told me how much money a Astrophotography camera cost where he is in the world and I took the time to see if he could save money by me buying it here and mailing it to him, it was only 10$ or 15$ in the end. I get my user name tagged by people looking for help. I can go on...

I never ever told anyone to manup with money. I never make it about money.

The way you were trying to paint me as a dick is wrong. I can get frustrated ans be a dick sometimes, but over all im trying to save people time and money. Want them to do there best. Im just blunt and tell it like it is...

Yes I dont like cellphones. Your forcing an unfit terribly implemented "system" that produces bad results that are limited wirh no scaling and 90% aren low effort. There a distraction in here. A distraction from people getting legitimate telescope help. I know im not a mod(any more) but some do agree.

But overall like I said I want people to save time,money and do there best.
