Hi,

It's been cloudy for so long here in Oklahoma that I went searching for some images I had not processed yet and found this image taken on 10/18/03.
The twin shadow rays pointing to the rim of Tycho add some
interest to the image other wise I probably would not have posted the image .

14.5 Starmaster working at F/30, 830 frames, Toucam Pro,
10FPS.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

As usual, Wes, you've captured a great image. The Sun's low angle sure makes that terrain "pop."

Thanks for sharing.

Another great shot! Thanks for sharing. I hope your skies clear soon so you can use that new camera. I am eagerly awaiting your opinion of it versus the Toucam Pro.

Regards,
Bob Hardy

Hi Wes,

Thats a very dramatic shot with those 2 long shadow spires! I can empathize with you about crappy weather, we've had naught but rain rain and more rain here in Ontario.
Well done shot, should send it to LPOD, its unusual enough.
