The picture above was made with this demo POV file and this hand shower object POV file . This is three objects: a hand shower head, a wall mount bar, and a connecting hose. This is one of my least detailed objects; there's not even a clip to mount the hand shower to the sliding bar, it just floats. The hand shower itself does look pretty stylish, very rounded and cool looking. ... The showerhead is about yay big. ... WARNING: This POV object is based on a real object. ...

... This past spring, as Comet Hyakutake decorated our evening skies, I received a telephone call from an upset parent. We bought our daughter a telescope to see the comet," she said, "and we can't see anything!" The exasperated mother said they found binocular and naked-eye views to be better than those through the telescope. ... They may be bright overall, but all that light is coming from a big area of space. ... OK, you say, I found Comet Hale-Bopp this evening. ... Does the comet have a tail? ...

... For each observed position the table contains designation of object as in file of observations, the time of observation, the number and name/ preliminary designation of minor planet supposedly identical with observed object, the values of O – C (observed position minus computed one) in right ascension and declination expressed in arcsec, the difference O – C between observed magnitude and computed one, the code of observatory in the Observatory list (see Observatories section). ...

... no comet has been observed with an orbit that indicates that it came from interstellar space, . ... From this he proposed that comets reside in a vast cloud at the outer reaches of the solar system. ... Unfortunately, since the individual comets are so small and at such large distances, we have no direct evidence about the Oort Cloud. ... T he Kuiper Belt is a disk-shaped region past the orbit of Neptune roughly 30 to 100 AU from the Sun containing many small icy bodies. ... Small Bodies .. ...

... They are the offset in arcseconds for the x and y inst plane offset, the exposure time in seconds, and the number of exposures at each position. ... A point about offsets should be made here. The dither program uses absolute instrument plane offsets, so you should use object plane offsets to center up on the chip so that the script starts from where you centered up. INST and OBJ offsets are independent so an object offset will not be zeroed out by and inst plane offset, just added to it. ...

New England observer Lew Gramer, fresh back from his mid-November fish observing and meteor-catching expedition in South Florida, reports that December also promises to be a great month for celestial sky-sparks!" ... Other showers adding to the mix this month include several very minor showers, such as the Chi Orionids (3 Dec), Monocerotids (9 Dec) and Sigma Hydrids (12 Dec), which usually contribute no more than 2 or 3 meteors per hour during even post-midnight observing this month. ...
