Hi all,

It looked like seeing would be really nice this morning, but a rouge duststorm came through last night and dropped seeing a point or two. The image is nice, but I was hoping for volcanos....ah well, try again tomorrow.

Nice image Paul. Dust storm or not you got some great detail.

I just came in from my first session with a new TouCam 840. No filters yet, it was just fun to see everything work.

Looking forward to more images on this site. Keeep them coming.

Ron,

I would be glad to, except i think you are using a digital camera and i am using a webcam. I've never shot with a digital camera so I wouldn't know where to start. However, I'm sure there are folks here with that kind of experience and would be happy to help out.

Thanks!!
Paul
