Name that bird...

Head coloration, bill coloration, feathers, all give it away.

This time of year they will hit a feeder, but shortly will only hear them--they don't come to feeders once bugs, etc are out.

North American Nebula and the Pelican

Really spectacular shot, Ivan! I think I need to get an Epsilon. I just finished my move to CA and now have a dark-sky site that is worth getting a scope for...

First Image with D&G 5" f/15

Very nice, Dom. There is just a bit of chromatic aberration on the limb of the moon; if you have Photoshop you can correct that using the "Distort-->Lens Correction" filter. You can also put a touch more sharpening on this. I fiddled with it a bit in PS and tweaking the chromatic aberration and sharpening tightened the image up nicely.

Very nice image, Ivan. It's just a bit shifted to the blue, however. If you use the color picker in PS on a an area of sky background, you can see the weighting in the blue channel. Here's a tweak to correct the color imbalance.

M33

Posted By Jeff Hapeman
Really nice--my favorite galaxy. The reds still look pretty weak; M33 has some pretty bright magenta nebulae in it.

Do you like the new design?

Take the time to learn how to use it. There is a setting on the side that allows you to change font sizes, etc.

Al,

Check the "Display Preferences" on the left side menu, or go to the settings under "my account" and you can change the font size.

Herb has nailed it. A huge margin of all users bookmarked the classifieds and/or forums directly and went there, totally skipping the front page of sponsors. Putting them on every page where people go should get better visibility, and if you use it like yellow pages, there is always a link on the left that can take to a list of all sponsors...

Sure you do, Tim...that's how I have it set. At the left-hand side of the subject, there is a picture icon, like you see on this reply....
