Re: [meteorite-list] Wabar
Hey. I need informations about Wabar tectites/impactites ??? What is this exactly? These are glassy balls of few centimetre diameter that resulted from melting the desert sand as result of a famous Wabar meteorite crater. I have got tens of these tektites, but sorry not here with me so I dont have any photos now.

[meteorite-list] Shameless (But good) Ebay Plug
I just thought that I would let everybody know that I have listed dozens of unnamed NWA meteorites as well as dozens of specimens of the new Bensour fall at significantly reduced prices. Also remember that today is Thin section Sunday. This morning when I last checked a Saratov and a Huckitta thin section was still bid at only $3. Also note one of the most interesting shaped campo meteorites that you will ever see in my current auctions also (And started at a penny). Many lots have buy it now so check soon for best pickings. I should also notify my bidders that I have to go to Hong Kong for a week from Mar 27th to Apr 3rd so please excuse me if I am a bit late during this time. I have cut back on most of my ebay auctions because of my Hong Kong trip but still have a lot of meteorite auctions running because I figure that it is easier to notify my meteorite bidders than my bidders of other things that I will be away for a week. I should get other things up shortly and have my normal 300 to 400 open ebay auctions up again in about two weeks.

.discovered the Chinguetti anomaly! In gentle decay, dave Hi all ... digressing slightly... appearingabove isthe trigger word : Chinguetti... I, and least one other collector, amactively seeking specimen/s from this Stony-Iron ... anybody anywhere??? David Weir would love to acquire a specimen to share on his excellent site and I am attempting to complete a 'type' set ... Thanks, Michael Masse _ My GHWonder what would happen if we got near with a meteorite cane. Do you think(s)he causes local magnetic anomalies? Bury the person in the Sahara andthey'll think they've discovered the Chinguetti anomaly!I just wish I could think of a snappy caption but I just can;t!dave--In gentle decay,daveIMCA #0092

[meteorite-list] Photographing Comets
Hello List, Now that another comet is offering us the opportunity to take some pictures, I thought I'd show you a couple of images I took of the Hale-Bopp comet back in March 1997. Over the years, I've sold a lot of these prints so I know many of you have already seen these images. I've posted them now for those of you that are new to the list or have an interest in photographing celestial objects.

Re: [meteorite-list] Photographing Comets
Speaking of photographing celestial objects I been doing alot of experimenting with a Kodak Dc280 digital camera and my scopeat my uncles house. I will make a website during the week and post some of the best images. I am most proud of the ones I did of the Dec 25, 2000 partial solar eclipse but I also got some excellant pictures of the moon, sun, venus, mars jupiter that I did.Clear Skies Happy Hunting, Jay Haynes IMCA Member #:6905 www.geocities.com/cdnastronomer/meteorite.html From: John Gwilliam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] Photographing Comets Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2002 14:00:45 -0700 Hello List, Now that another comet is offering us the opportunity to take some pictures, I thought I'd show you a couple of images I took of the Hale-Bopp comet back in March 1997.

[meteorite-list] Photographic Lighting
Greetings Listees. I need some recommendations for a low cost, photographic light, that will bring out the true colors of meteorites while photographing them. Thanks, Dave. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Photographic Lighting
Dave, Are you using film or digital for the photos's? Proper color for tungsten film or quartz lit digital requires studio quartz lights that are rated at 3200degrees kelvin to match either tungsten film, or a digital white balance for 3200k light. Daylight is bluer @ 5600k ~ and will require Daylight film or a digital color balance for daylight. Flash strobes are near daylight but don't shoot them from the cameraimage is too flat and uninteresting. Quartz lights usually found at Home Depot stores are generally 3000k it will be just a tad warmer than 3200k light on 3200k film. Any good photo store will give a lead on finding studio quartz lamps. Photo Flood socket type bulbs are made in 3200k alsohard to control but cheap. Florescent lights can be mono spectral but some can have high color rendering indexes (CRI 90 or more) fp35's... best not to mess with florescent's. Best bet is for positioning 3200k studio quartz lights 30 degrees or more to each side or rear to show modeling (remaglympted meteors) and then balance the camera or film to that color temperature. Bouncing the lights into white cards can give a pleasant soft light look to help the modeling. For Pallisites, backlight them thru the olivine, and using a bounced light into a white card facing the polished front to bring up the metal will work nicely. Play around with the position of the white card until it reflects in the metal surface...you know its nice when you see it at the right angle or elevation. Metal flecked chondrites will respond nicely if you again use the bounced white card to catch the metal's reflection to the camera lens. Keep the card far enough away so that the stoney surface is not as bright as the reflected metal. This will make the metal stand out.keep playing around moving the card position till it sings out. Rule of thumb is.don't Take a picture.Make a picture. But above all ...have fun! Al Emer At 05:59 PM 3/24/2002 -0600, you wrote: Greetings Listees.

[meteorite-list] How To See Comet Ikeya-Zhang
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/ep/pressrel/ikeya-zhang_rel.html Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Release No.: 02-09 For Immediate Release: March 22, 2002 See a Comet Tonight Cambridge, MA - The brightest comet since 1997's Hale-Bopp is currently gracing the western skies of North America. Comet Ikeya-Zhang (pronounced ee-KAY-uh JONG) was discovered on February 1st by two amateur astronomers in Japan and China, respectively. Calculations of the comet's orbit by Brian Marsden of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics show that it was last seen in 1661. This makes Ikeya-Zhang the first long-period comet (a comet with a period longer than 200 years) to be identified on its return to the inner solar system. No telescope is necessary to look at this beautiful visitor as it swings around the Sun and heads back to deep space. The comet has brightened to naked-eye visibility, but is easiest to see through binoculars. A casual glance will show the bright, starlike nucleus surrounded by a fuzzy cloud of dust and gas called the coma. The comet's tail streaks away from the Sun, pointing nearly straight up from the horizon. To find Comet Ikeya-Zhang, look in the western sky shortly after sunset. A red point of light about 18 degrees up in the sky is the planet Mars. (An outspread hand at arm's length covers about 15 degrees, so Mars is a bit higher than one hand-span.) To the right of Mars are two bright stars in a nearly vertical line. The comet is at the same height as Mars, to the right of the two bright stars about as far again as the distance from Mars to the stars. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is a joint collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Harvard College Observatory. CfA scientists organized into seven research divisions study the origin, evolution, and ultimate fate of the universe. Note to editors: An image of Comet Ikeya-Zhang on the evening of Thursday, March 22, 2002, taken by the MicroObservatory telescope in Cambridge, is available online at http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/press/comet_image.html. The MicroObservatory project, created by the Science Education group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, allows students and teachers across the nation to use telescopes over the Internet to take pictures of objects in the night sky.
