Image of the day

Hi Luca - Looks pretty spectacular to me! I've tried to capture lightening a few times but never with any success. Now that you (and Paolo) have recorded these dramatic thunderbolts, I hope the clearing comes soon.

cheers-

Hi Mike -

Fantastic shot - I agree, the shadows add a lot of information to the mountains that are seen head on in this view.

Hi Wes -

Excellent image - I love the tonal values in your processing - it feels to me like plaster of paris which somehow seems just right for the moon.

Hoping for some good conditions for this next lunation!

Hi Mike -

These images with deep shadow are much harder to process than those ata higher sun angle - you've done a very nice job on this.
I think I had the Copernican photo opp you were hoping for in my data from the day before (August 16th) - hope to get to work on it soon.

best wishes -
Alan

ps - Black Forest star party was a cloud and rain event too - I had the car packed but decided at the last minute to stay home.
