Wow, that turned out really good Joe! That was an enjoyable night and that image will help me remember it. Thank-you for sharing.

The fuzzy orbs aren't UFOs, they are because of dust in the air or on the lens; the dark figure behind Mat isn't a ghost, but where Mat stood back a bit from the scope after the flash went off, and blocked some of the starlight. The pic was a 30-second exposure at ISO 1600, with flash. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4723&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any included attachments are from Siemens Medical Solutions and are intended only for the addressee(s).
