Starship Asterisk*

http://ih0.redbubble.net/image.12061606.8213/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg and here is how I captured it. I planned only to watch this as I didn't have a camera to photograph it (so I was thinking) due to a communication problem with my big digital outfit. Then I had a brainwave. I was looking at the ecli...

Lunar Eclipse montage from terranora, far north coast NSW. Hasselblad H2/P20/HC50-110 @ 110/f8, images at 10 min intervals from 0422AEDT. Some thin clouds accounts for the faintness of some of the partial stages. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/5838097386_6700f785b5_b.jpg Lunar Eclipse Montage b...

I am going to try a time lapse shoot of the eclipse in the morning to see if I can do one of those Time lapse videos. I have been inspired by the videos of Terje Sørgjerd (http://www.facebook.com/TSOPhotography). There's a link to his Vimeo on my blog. I will go just up the road where there are nice...

Yesterday's and today's planetary conjunction shots. I drove down to the Tweed River at Tumbulgum, far north coast NSW, for yesterdays, but today I was lazy and shot from the verandah window. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3576/5717238052_2e3b7eaa25.jpg Black Friday conjunction by Photography by Odi...

A couple of recent ones I took of the 4 planets and the moon. From 01 & 02 May, both at around 0525. Taken from Terranora, far north coast NSW, Australia. How I came to take them was quite funny. I woke up at my usual early worm time of 4.30am on Mayday, ambled out to the computer, played about ...

We had scudding clouds at my place, but like this 2 min exposure with the movement of them streaking. Taken from Terranora, north coast NSW Australia - Canon 1DsMKII, 100-400L f4, 2 sec, f8, ISO200 - time 20:51AEST http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4736113777_5632d6ef70.jpg This image is linked fr...

I certainly hadn't used them, owl. This looks to be a very interesting forum.

And bystander, as I said in the original post, I did read the rules, I could not see where they say anything about WHEN certain features are enabled, only the mention of different levels as you make more posts.

After many years of using APOD I saw a link to a poll on Is APOD a blog? and found this site! Where have you been hiding it? I have a question on the User Control Panel that I could not see answered in the rules. I was unable to add a signature or Avatar, do these functions become available after a ...
