Hi Mike --

It's as beautiful/crisp an image of NGC 6992 as I've ever seen. Beautiful.

Ipad - star charts, interactive or both?

Posted By Bob Polcyn

Hi, Dave -- I don't see that the Cambridge Double Star Atlas is available in iPad form. There is a Wil Tirion star atlas app though.
I've been resisting buying an iPad but am realizing that 'resistance is futile.'

Thanks for bringing this site to our attention, Dave. Nick has done a really fine job. And the red sensitivity of his set up is a nice bonus -- spectacular and a great resource -- beautiful stuff.

ENTIRE NIGHT SKY PHOTO

Posted By Bob Polcyn

Hi, Ron -- thanks for the post. I've downloaded the largest image file from Nick's website and added the it to 3 other panoramas -- one from the ESO, one from Alex Mellinger and I can't remember the source for the third. All beautiful.
It's interesting how we key in on different features. I actually like Nick's version best BECAUSE of the greater red sensitivity/better emission nebula rendition.
I'm not aware of a poster of any of the panoramas which include constellation lines.
