Here's something you don't see every day.

First you go to Sky-Map.ORG Here is link: http://www.sky-map.org/ Than you type in these co-ordinates: HIP81844 press enter and you will see a Blue Object. Go to left side of screen and use the control bar and zoom out. Than scroll down and You will start to see Blue and Red colour and that's when your in the right local. Now what do we have ? A Alien Space Craft headed for Earth?

I don't think its a bug on the telescope.

Just wondering...:yikes:

Hi :)

I zoomed out but could not see how to scroll the screen down ?

I hope it's not blindingly obvious !


Cheers,

DC.

I'm interested in this epo333. I went to the site but could not see what you are seeing. Sky-map has coordinates that reflect the exact placement of your cursor. Could you paste in the hours minutes and seconds of the object you are questioning? thanks

Well if I did this right then the coordinates shown were:

16h 36m .43s / 23degrees 47min 38.4sec (zoom level was seventh level from min (-))

Hope this helps. I found it again though just by doing the instructions from before.

I've seen this before. It's a reflection down the telescope from something, like the moon or a outdoor light. What your seeing is the parts in the telescope that hold the secondary mirror in place. I can get the simalar thing in my meade if i look at the moon and back focus it way out of focus. Seen this before. I can reproduce the Pacman orb's in David Sereda's nasa footage of the tether incident to. That's why i know that the tether incident was nothing more then out of focus particals floating by the shuttle. Tried to tell him that and i don't think he liked it to well. Count this one out guys, sorry.

That's a good possibility earthman, and works of me. Still weird though, I was thinking it may be a light orb.

Thanks.
