If you have a planetary imaging scope with an equivalent focal length of like 3000mm, along with an observatory-grade guided tracking mount, you can do them very well. Failing that, we all just blend in with the torrent of grainy pepperonis on facebook next morning. Wide angles and foreground context ftw. Expand Yes I definitely like wide images within the context of a nice background much more. 3000mm will fill the frame with the moon. Some of the new superzoom cameras do really well on lunar eclipses too (they use a newer type of sensor called BSI that does better with higher ISO). I have an equatorial mount, but when you live in a place with light pollution, longest single exposures are limited to around 15 seconds or so, anything above that must be achieved through stacking.

I lopped off the decimals in that scale, it should be more like the lower range ends at 15.9 and the higher range begins at 16.0 (for example) so SECS 4.0-7.9 MECS 8.0-15.9 HECS 16.0-31.9 BECS 32.0+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat5hurricane Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I find it interesting that Team Torch were the predominant posters throughout the snowless first half of Met Winter, disappear over the weekend when the models trended cold and snowy/icy for next weekend then all of a sudden reappear magically when the models start torching again. Like clockwork In any event, nobody should be declaring anything snow or not 5-6 days in advance. As we know all too well, the models will flip flop the next several days (windshield wiper effect) so in other words, lets check back in on Thursday. The signal is there for a big storm, that's all we know at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 What I'm seeing moving forward is really bad for the rest of winter. It really looks like the MJO will be a repeat of 2nd half Dec/early Jan and that's terrible news. The Nino is also dying out with very little effects on our pattern. If there's no snow by Feb 5 with nothing on the immediate horizon then this winter is a wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trough axis ends up too far west but there's still the polar influence to the north. This equals wet to cold, rinse & repeat. The only thing to offset that would be -NAO blocking. It's something the GEFS keeps showing 10+ days out only to fall apart as we get closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overreliance on indexes and phases and long term pattern change talk not to mention the condescending tones and I know it all attitudes there have led me back to here.

Sometimes it's just not in the cards. Expand How often could one be wrong predicting that? It's like a "cold reading" from a psychic....you can't really go wrong....like John Edwards the so called medium...." it was hard at the end, something in the chest area, there was trouble breathing.." yeah, there usually is at the end " I'm seeing an older male..." of course because everyone has lost someone, probably an older male ( grandfather, dad, uncle ) and " there was a dog or cat" yeah somewhere in the family " and the cat is there with him on the other side" of course it is....." I'm seeing a letter, J..." ( because most people know an older male named Joe, Jim, John, whatever, who has died, ( of course if the dead could talk to someone you'd think they'd say hey it's John here....) anyway, predictions of cold and snowy crop up every winter. I'll give you a prediction right now; summer will be hot and muggy. I could be wrong, not every summer is, but you get the idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
