Planet X: SIGHTED(?!?) at 9/15/2002 Spot


Steve Havas has secured a set of FITS files taken in the wee hours of
the monring on Saturday Sep 21, 2002, pointed at the Zeta coordinates
given for Sep 15, 2002.

    I got 30x2min CCD images of the Sep 15 coordinates
    using a Takahashi Mewlon 300 - 3572mm telescope in the
    dark skies of Arizona! 10 with a clear filter and 20 with a
    red filter.

Steve subsequently secured 6 Dark images, and is in the process of
getting a summary FITS file.  Taking ONLY ONE of the set of 36, Charles
did an anaylsis against a NASA Skyview FITS (greater exposure time) and
found a NEW OBJECT at the Zeta Coordinates.

    Using a FITS viewer I was able to download and view a
    'SkyView' image from NASA of the coordinate area near
    4.400057, +12.13215. I then compared one of Steve's .fts
    files from your site with this image. After looking several
    minutes and comparing the images, they seemed the
    same until I noticed a fair point on Steve's that is NOT
    on the NASA image. I circled the point on Steve's image
    that I could not find on the NASA image.

The spot is, appropriately, just a hair to the EAST and to the South of
the spot, due to the red light bending toward gravity the Zetas have
described.

    For instance, in Arizona, one would expect the red light
    to bend DOWN toward the Earth as something from the
    southern constellations must come over the Equator,
    going north. Was it a tad LOWER in Declination? One
    might also expect it to be somewhat off in RA as it would
    pull toward the middle of Earth, depending upon what
    horizon it was beaming in from. I assume it would pull
    toward the CENTER of the Earth where the greatest
    gravity tug would be from. Would that be EAST?

    Did seem that faint spot was close to ZT coordinates,
    maybe slightly south as you mentioned.

This is a preliminary analysis, more to come ...
