Correction: Thor’s Helmet

Many visitors to my New Images page have informed me that Thor was a Viking, and not a Roman. Hence my allusion to a Roman helmet was incorrect. My image orientation was also incorrect to visualize the helmet.

I have accordingly revised my web page to correctly orient the image with a proper helmet of Viking design beside it. I did not want to offend Thor, the god of thunder. I have enough problems with clouds.

H-a Thor’s Helmet:

Eighty minutes in 20-minute subframes with E160 at f/3.3 and SXV-H9 camera, Schueler H-a filter. Guided with MX716 on NP101.

Thank you for visiting my site.

Clear skies,
