6 day old moon

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

A trip down the terminator. Too much moisture in our Texas air has not been beneficial to observing. This was the best I could do. Digiscoped, 1/30 second single exposure.

Taken through window with Canon A640 in Macro mode. Crop of approx. one fourth of the original image. Nothing special but it's the best I've ever done of a Hummer.

Cicada Question

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Is the red object on the center of the head an eye? I'm leaning that way. The opaque whitish thing also looks like it could be an eye as well. Any answers out there? Kinda looks like a character from "Star Wars" doesn't it.

House Fly on window

Amazing what macro focus and 10 megapixel will produce. Tight crop of original image. I did this to retain maximum resolution.

IS THIS FORUM REALLY AN OXYMORON?

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

If all the photos appearing on this forum must be first scanned and converted to a digital image, are we still viewing film photography? Just a thought.

THANK YOU

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

I would like to express my thanks to all of you who spend hours producing your deep space images. I do not have the equipment nor the patience to replicate your achievements. I save many of your images to my hard drive and always rotate them as my desktop backgrounds. there are many other Astromarters that feel as I do, so I will include their thanks as well. Keep those great images coming!
