My web site up and running, plus new image (M34)

Great site. I am always interested in seeing what other people come up with. I have actually been working with one of the Fort Lewis College media types to come up with a template I can use to post. Our site is already "live", but I wanted a few more tweaks before I start directing people there regularly...

I like the thumbnail format for your images, but they seem unusually slow to load. Are they dynamically re-sized from the originals or are they really smaller images? If not small, then that would be my suggestion to get the pages to load faster.

LBN 1022 - a nearby brightening taking place?

Looks like there might be something going on. (!) You could also try it again and see if there is any change.

Did you check the "Embed Color Profile" box when saving in photoshop? I have noticed that that makes a difference.

Looks nice. Good balance on the colors.

That is cool looking homemade scope. And the pictures show it works well. f4 must be nice and portable if not attached to the G11.

Some nice images as expected, but the logo and header bar keep scrolling down in front of them and taking up a significant fraction of my window. (Some of us still use small monitors much of the time.)

Very nice. Those blue wisps sure stand out.

Thanks, Scott. I just wish I had a tiny bit more resolution to see that horse.

Twelve years here, and this is the first time we get a snow day called the afternoon before it happens.

But will the roads be clear enough to make it to Purgatory?
