Pictures are not too good as they were taken with my phone!

Maybe you could get better photos if you hook a Powermate up to that phone... 8)

Those are three very fine looking pups. Whether in America or Italy, they're all the same. Cudos to you for rescuing them and giving them a fine home.

My dome, my dogs and ME

Posted By Michael O Gaynes

Luca,

Thanks for the insight on where all of your fabulous images come from.
...and your canine assistants!

I've think, though, that your dome (observatory, not head wink

) could use a little sprucing up in honor of the World Cup victory...

Doug, he's quite the cutie! And agile as well... He looks like he's used to being the boss.

Having some focusing issues.. took with a NIKON 995 using a ScopeTronix 18mm. widefield..LED screen in the daylight is difficult to see...

John,

I've used a Coolpix 4500 with a Scopetronix 14mm adapter. I found decent results by focusing directly through the eyepiece first, and then attaching the camera.
The attached image is a composite from last May - separate surface and prom exposures - stacked in registax, etc.

Boy meets Girl.

Boy falls in love.

Boy relentlessly pursues Girl, even though she is totally disinterested.

This exhausts him.

Thank you for writing my epitaph... :S
