  1. Hi guys.. Iv got a link to share, a live webcam at Whitherensea so you can see what's coming in from the north sea... http://ww.com/2e0enw
  2. Hi BT, What i would do first is reset the camera......You can find it in camera : Settings 1 or page 32 in your manual Then set the shooting mode to iAUTO Turn on Anti shake Take a picture and see if this makes a difference.. Del.
  3. Check out El Hierro webcams,, Bobs got lights ooooh maybe a Surtsey event soon.
  4. I never realised you could get thundersnow until last year when someone from here (lewis!) said that we may get some, so i left the the webcam on record and got this. The bloke next door looked like he got a bit of a fright and quickly went in Hope we get some more this winter
  5. Not much happening here BUT what's that just west of Ireland!!!!circle!! sat24
  6. Well it was great reading all the excited post's today from every one that got some action, i on the other hand did not but the pictures and vids posted from you guys made up for it... Almost!! Cheers
  7. You could upload it to facebook then post a link here...
  8. Dam right ,iv been radar watching all day!! just for it to miss.....ah well!
  9. I actually felt the terror for a moment, i don't think ill play this again.
  10. Whats!!! the odds for the East coast (Hull) getting a look in this weekend please>> i can only clean my camera so many times and charge the battery before i go mental .Be kind... del
  11. 3rd April 2011 Hull/Paull. Enjoyed the brief storm we had yesterday with kids.Looking forward to the next one! Cheers Del.
  12. Not sure if you guys are using the link below but it shows the effect of the flares hitting the earth in real time just need to refresh as often as you like and its going up as i type. Real-time Magnetosphere Simulation
  13. Check out the the link below , its getting deadly across there. Keep safe. Realtime tornado feeds from twitter
  14. Taken yesterday, 360p has the original sound and 240p 480p has a music track added.
  15. I posted on this thread http://forum.netweat...95#entry1913895 Taken today Cheers
  16. Glad you all like it....hahaha the bloke out side got a bit of a shock by the looks of it and decided to go in haven't seen him since . This was taken from a 2 and half hour video which im in the process of doing a timelapse so ill pop that up later...for you guys and dolls.. Cheers all Ps the kids are building a snow man in the front garden its not looking good,i think the snow man may have to claim for disability and have few sessions of counselling :rofl: Ok will do, cheers Thunderman24.
  17. I captured this earlier,its not great as the webcam was indoors and its also my first lightning during it snowing FANTASTIC.
  18. Hi thunderman24. Well to save the clicks on my camera what i did was use a webcam, i left it on record then speed it up in WMmaker maybe not a true timelapse but good as..
  19. Well i was having loads of problems with youtube ie 360p that i just put the first thing that fitted the length and actuly worked
  20. Hi all. I did a timelapse film of the snow coming down in Hull last night, its better to watch at 480p to listen to the music added if not turn the sound off or you'll hear a terrible noise at 360p "youtube error"
  21. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nasas-chandra-finds-youngest-nearby-black-hole-108190609.html WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found evidence of the youngest black hole known to exist in our cosmic neighborhood. The 30-year-old black hole provides a unique opportunity to watch this type of object develop from infancy. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) The black hole could help scientists better understand how massive stars explode, which ones leave behind black holes or neutron stars, and the number of black holes in our galaxy and others. The 30-year-old object is a remnant of SN 1979C, a supernova in the galaxy M100 approximately 50 million light years from Earth. Data from Chandra, NASA's Swift satellite, the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and the German ROSAT observatory revealed a bright source of X-rays that has remained steady during observation from 1995 to 2007. This suggests the object is a black hole being fed either by material falling into it from the supernova or a binary companion. "If our interpretation is correct, this is the nearest example where the birth of a black hole has been observed," said Daniel Patnaude of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. who led the study. The scientists think SN 1979C, first discovered by an amateur astronomer in 1979, formed when a star about 20 times more massive than the sun collapsed. Many new black holes in the distant universe previously have been detected in the form of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, SN 1979C is different because it is much closer and belongs to a class of supernovas unlikely to be associated with a GRB. Theory predicts most black holes in the universe should form when the core of a star collapses and a GRB is not produced. "This may be the first time the common way of making a black hole has been observed," said co-author Abraham Loeb, also of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "However, it is very difficult to detect this type of black hole birth because decades of X-ray observations are needed to make the case." The idea of a black hole with an observed age of only about 30 years is consistent with recent theoretical work. In 2005, a theory was presented that the bright optical light of this supernova was powered by a jet from a black hole that was unable to penetrate the hydrogen envelope of the star to form a GRB. The results seen in the observations of SN 1979C fit this theory very well. Although the evidence points to a newly formed black hole in SN 1979C, another intriguing possibility is that a young, rapidly spinning neutron star with a powerful wind of high energy particles could be responsible for the X-ray emission. This would make the object in SN 1979C the youngest and brightest example of such a "pulsar wind nebula" and the youngest known neutron star. The Crab pulsar, the best-known example of a bright pulsar wind nebula, is about 950 years old. "It's very rewarding to see how the commitment of some of the most advanced telescopes in space, like Chandra, can help complete the story," said Jon Morse, head of the Astrophysics Division at NASA's Science Mission Directorate. The results will appear in the New Astronomy journal in a paper by Patnaude, Loeb, and Christine Jones of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages the Chandra program for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory controls Chandra's science and flight operations from Cambridge.
  22. Once the lifecam program starts you'll see a blue tab on the right hand side and that opens the dashboard, ok now click settings and then properties, just uncheck the auto box for the focus settings...... Hope that helps...
