Go ahead and buy it, Victor. With the economy as it is, you might have to sell it at a loss. At least, that would be my hope.

Largest object in Van Heusen Belt photographed

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
This image of mini-planetoid Zorn was taken by the Himmel space monocular.

So- it's a slow day.

LROC image degradation

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Has any one noticed the drastic reduction of image resolution of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiting Camera photos? There also appears to be an increase in surface blurring. My only thought is that they are hiding things that might be disturbing to us Earthlings. Whats your take on this?

Finding Dark Skies

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Angel Fire, New Mexico has the blackest skies I've ever seen. Start at 8,600 feet and go up higher on one of the many unpaved roads in the area.

Fledgling Borrowing Owls

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Outstanding! My wife says "adorable". A long time ago, I recall seeing a mother Great Horned Owl crossing the road in front of the car with her brood following close behind. How I would love to have had a camera at that moment.

Hummingbird Species???

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Tyler, I'm thinking that it might be an immature Black Chinned. It's very hard to discern between the young Black Chinned and Ruby Throated.

Orange Butterfly

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Bill, Those butterflies were most likely not fighting, but engaged in a mating dance. Black Swallowtails, in particular, put on quite a show. The females will hover over the male, swinging like a pendulum, and fanning him with her pheremones to encourage mating.
