WinterFire Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 1 minute ago, Always in Zugzwang said: True. But when it's like 10 posts in a row strung together, it's pretty aggravating, even if each one is short. Maybe that's an exaggeration on my part, but I have seen that, several posts one after another. 10 posts in a row + people quoting his posts and piling on with the same sentiments...really makes the threads unreadable. And you're right, I shouldn't hope for a total whiff. Maybe just a Leesburg local minimum, then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess that's not terrible...albeit that ever elusive WSW may not be met with that...although it would still be nice to look at. Would put me at about 14" for the year...not too bad for a nina--and at least this has FELT like winter. All the same...the longer we go without a big punch, the more I wanna see one. We're due!

From what I’ve read, the sunshield is meant to keep the actual body of the telescope shielded from the sun so that the lens and other fun stuff can remain super cold, which is necessary for proper performance.

You make me wonder if at that distance from the earth, the shadow would be really insignificant. Kind of like the shadow of a small bird flying overhead to us.

Maestrobjwa Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just now, weathercoins said: Coming next month By the time the sun angle becomes an issue, our window for good snow (which is typically Jan. 15th-President's day--albeit we stared a bit early this year) has already passed. March means little for the lower elevations, and too much has to go right to get anything meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though light doesn’t spread in space, the angles alone would eventually reduce that shadow to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxMan1 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hello all! I figured this forum (banter) would be as good as any to put this in. Many have been talking about Miller A vs B. A few years back we did a review of the Miller Cyclone classification system -- based off of James E. Miller's research that was published in the Journal of Meteorology (June 1946). We also applied the classification to some more recent examples (and by recent, I mean the past 10-15 years). As many of you noted, there are many "hybrid" A/B types, but even in those situations, the characteristics are going to be either A or B dominant. Not the gospel on the subject by any means, but I thought perhaps it would provide a little more clarity to the topic. Or not.
