Astronomy is one interesting field of science. Through the rigors of this discipline, we are able to capture even the vague objects in the galaxy.

The telescope is a device that aids the naked eye to take a good view of distant objects. Because of this, astrophotography has become very popular. Ordinary camera’s lenses may not be able to make astrophotography possible. Yet, the onset of cameras as telescope adapters has changed this notion.

Neophyte astrophotographers prefer the traditional 35mm camera. From the day when astrophotography was preconceived, film cameras did a good job capturing optical images in the atmosphere. Moreover, the digital camera’s rise to fame also paved the way to a much higher resolution than ever before.

Film cameras are now indeed a part of the telescope world. There are three popular ways in which the camera can be attached to the telescope for a much better output. One is though the piggyback mount. This device attaches the film camera into the telescope tube via a bracket that is locked to the back unit of the scope or a ring that clamps around the telescope pipe. The camera is not dependent on the telescope. It shoots using its own lens and the enlargement obtained depends upon its type. With the piggyback mount, the telescope purposely serves in guiding the photo shoot’s accuracy and as a tracking mount.

The second is prime focus that takes galactic photographs using no eyepiece. Instead, it uses a tube the “T” adapter. The film camera is attached onto the telescope’s “prime focus.” This method proves effective in capturing dim but big objects in the sky like Orion Nebula.

The focal coupling method proves best when used with digital cameras where both the eyepiece and the camera lens are set to action. This approach is most preferred by those who love to use their digital cameras. In those instances, the eyepiece icon is coupled via the camera lenses instead of laid onto the film plane.

Throughout time, cameras in telescopes have been a great aid in several research studies attempting to provide explanation to the what’s and how’s of the universe. They will undoubtedly continue to pull up fame and resolution for astronomy.

Processes Involved In Blavatsky's Writings and its effects - By: Edi Bilimoria
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) demonstrated the Siddhis (psychic-spiritual faculties) of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the powers of projection, precipitation and being en rapport. These were all used in her writings on Occult science and Meta Physics which may be categorized into seven kinds of processes. We outline them below but it is emphasized that none of the above processes are miracles or supernatural

The Z-Boson Mass and its Formula as Multiple Proofs in One Bowl of Yummy Pudding - By: Sean Sheeter
A demonstration of the mathematical, theoretical and, especially, empirical connotations of the phrase "Pudding Proof" in the context of a highly exacting physical model. In particular, a formula is given deriving the mass of the Z-boson from two heavy quarks and and Higgs field. Remarkably, the precise correlation with the known value of the Z-mass is thus empirically proof positive of these far less directly measurable masses, which is further supported by arithmetic and theoretic construct.
The Theory, Significance and Precise Calculation of Gluino Mass - By: Sean Sheeter
A preview of the most significant predictable particle cascades at Cern's LH-Collider in the coming years. Describes how a precise gluino mass of 6.388355 TeV relates to the super-symmetric Higgs mechanism and decays to squarks and other 'sparticles as a prerequisite to creation of 'dark mass,' as well as the unsolved puzzle of material baryon creation. Which also goes on to shows why giving three dimensionless calculations for the gluino mass are central to the e-course "241-Mumbers."
Derivation of the Pure Precise Fine-Structure Number and as a Ratio of Two Inexact Metric Constants - By: Sean Sheeter
A history of a definitive answer to #1 'millennium question' of Strings 2000 in regard to whether all fundamental parameters can be determined in a dimensionless manner. Focus's on a 'pure' calculation of the fine-structure constant from a unified 'monolithic' system that allows precise equations for the full spectrum of fundamental particle masses from Higgs/SUSY to quarks, neutrinos and dark matter. With an update on controversies of determining the fine-structure from metric measures and a few other related issues.
Proof of the Exact Up and Down Quark Masses from the Pion Mass-Differential - By: Sean Sheeter
A discussion of the equivalence of the mass differential between the charged and neutral pion as a function the mass difference between the down and up quark. Given the unprecedented mass value of the down quark = 7.763258 MeV, the up quark mass is calculable from the even more exacting d-u mass differential = 4.593453 MeV, where the experimental pion mass difference = 4.5936 plusmn.0005 MeV.

Why Are Some Scientists Doubtful about Subliminal Influence? - By: Evgheny Stivenson
Does subliminal perception really occur? Can anyone be able to observe something involuntarily without being conscious about it? These questions were raised to challenge the scientific validity of such claims. Experiments were conducted to prove that subliminal perception was indeed a fact.
