    [MENTION=17]MetalSoup[/MENTION] [MENTION=13245]blaaislaai[/MENTION] - check this, I find it quite fascinating that people still live like this (in this frame of mind). Though the theory is very interesting and quite compelling.

    I have a friend who believed this for awhile. He kept sending me youtube videos 'proving' it. I sent him one link to a forum debunking all of it, and he replied with "Don't send me crap like that!"...

    Then he asked me if the earth is round, why do we get star trails in long exposure photos, like one I took. I told him I could get a globe, mount a little camera on it, surround it with LEDs, and spin the globe, etc etc, to recreate it, but I have no intention of spending the time or money on such a project, and if he wanted to prove it, to go ahead and do so himself. I would be happy to listen once he has the results. Then he went on about how I'm avoiding his question... *facepalm*

    I also took a picture of Saturn on my DSLR with a 500mm lens, so I sent it to him (again). First time he thought it was so cool, because he loves space. This time, he said "Hmm, kinda blurry".

    Maybe you forgot image stabilization and a tri-pod?


    with a 500mm you were able to get Saturn? what kinda camera and glass you using?

    A sigma 150-500mm f/5.6 on a Nikon D7000. Don't expect much, but when I saw these captures, I had a geekgasm. I also got Jupiter, which came out better, being bigger and closer helped a lot.

    Fok, had no idea that was possible with just a simple camera. You think it would be better with a prime lens @ f/2.8?

    If you have/can afford a 500mm f/2.8, big time! I had to bump my ISO up to get the shutter quick enough for it to not be a complete blur. The lower the ISO, the clearer it will be, and f/2.8 will help that a lot. Keep in mind those photos are cropped, not resized. when you look at it on your preview screen on the camera body, it will look like a star taking up 1/4000th of your screen without zooming.
