Sorry to report that the machine the UA gallery lives on suffered a major meltdown earlier today and is probably going to be down for a while. The problem may have infected the backups as well so when (if) the gallery returns some of the data may be missing. patrick
Patrick, Can you update us on this? I'm really concerned. The gallery is a wonderful resource for those of us who are struggling to become competent in astrophotography, and for those who are are competent and can show their results. Is there anything we can do, such as donate a few bucks to buy hosting space?

I've not heard anything new from Cynthia but the fact that the backups were involved as well does not bode well. :(

There is one other avenue. Remember that SLAS members are able to post images on the SLAS site http://slas.us/GALLERY.HTM (in the "Member Profiles" section).

IIRC money has been offered and declined in the past. So for now about all we can do is hope the site gets fixed and that not too many of the images were lost. patrick
