For the usual suspects, these are teaser threads from the moderators to see who spams, so as tempting as it is to reply to the "Ignore for now", don't do it. You will reveal yourself as someone who spams.
The moderators have no idea who we are, so houghy, ving, asimov, ken & rocket boy, we are safe for now.....that is unless one of you lets the cat out of the bag!!!

well there you have it....2 hours it took for this thread to reach 20 and go to a second page.
Bird could could have posted the best saturn picture ever and it he would have 3 replys in two hours!!!!
And this thread was about a thread that had nothing in it!!!!!!!
Gee we are a bunch of cards!!!
Mike continues to shake his head!!!

Quite true Dave, but the main item in this is that as a community free flowing with spirit ;) we observed, posted, discussed, posted, knew it was junky anyway and still posted. we are just caring, sharing people :lol: Mikes head would have fallen off well and truely before this :P

OK so what if anything could we do to improve this HOT thread, lets analyse it.
Perhaps take some more dark frames.
Run it through "SPAM IMAGE".
I suppose we could improve the signal to noise ratio by having a voluntary post deletion process.
Wait for clear weather so that all the spammers are out observing.....
What else?
:confuse3:
this thread will die... unlike a bird <insert name of planet> thread, no one is going to ask dave how he made it! :P

OKay I put it down to the sun is still up and we cannot be bothered attaching solar filters to the scope so we have to sit on here and dribble **** until the post counts reaches 1000 on a thread we have no idea what it's about. Oh some of us have to work so those people are excluded

But you can have an off topic post on an off topic subject so doesnt that make it on topic on the topic of off topic.

Andrew nothing to do with your quote but relating to "Its not rocket science"
Something that always makes me smile when I hear it is the quote from the 12th Man as Rabs Warren
"Its not rocket surgery":rofl: (http://misc.php/?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=4#)
