Great Spangled Fritillar Butterfly

Posted By August R. Orlandi
Took these about 3 week ago just getting around to posting them
I hope I got this right:Great Spangled Fritillary Butterfly.
These were taken at a local forest preserve on a bike and walking path.
I don't know what they find in the droppings,which shouldn't be there.
Some people just don't care,even though they have bag all round for them
took pick up after them.

M-8 & M-20

Posted By August R. Orlandi
I thought I post some pictures from our Labor Day Weekend
outing. M-31 & M-51 were taken on Friday Night 8-29 &
M-8&m-20 along with the Double Cluster were taken on Saturday
night 8-30.This is a similarly shot as the other on I posted earlier
excepted this was taken through a filed flattener instead of the reducer
as the other one was.
Friday night wasn't that good about a 6or7 compared to Saturday
night which was about a 9.
These aren't that good so bare with me.
They were all taken with a Takahashi-102 scope with a Field Flattener,
Pentax 6X7 camera,Fuji Provia 400 slide film all were 35 minute exposures,
except for the Double Cluster which was 25 minutes.The f-ratio of the scope
is F-8.
Just thought I would bring a little discussion to this site.
Also I never had any luck removing dust or scratches from pictures,
so excuse the scratches
