First and Last

Posted By Walter Hamler
Quarter Moon, that is.
I shot last qtr last month and first quarter this month. I tried to get to merge them in a panorama program but it would not work. This was as close as it would bring them, but kinda interesting anyway.

My new color scheme.

Posted By Walter Hamler
I got tired of the "baby blue" or "blue green" of the origional Widestar 127 so I had a new Powder Coat job done to match my new WO 66SD APO. I think I will keep it!!

Layer Techniques

Posted By Walter Hamler
Could someone give me a short blow by blow process to stack three or 4 images using layers in PS. I have Elements 4.0 but I believe it is essentially the same as full PS as far as menu selections.

A new family have taken up residence in our area. They spend quite a lot of time in our wooded backyard. We really enjoy having them around.

Web Cam Lenses

Posted By Walter Hamler
Anyone have a source for web cam lenses in the 10 to 20mm fl range? I am assuming the mounting of these lenses are pretty much a screw in standard?

Camera Question

Posted By Walter Hamler
Does anyone remember if/how the Pentax 6x7 cameras could be modified for long exposures without using the camera battery?

Saturn, Mars, and ??? from June 4, 1978

Posted By Walter Hamler
Saturn and Mars made a very close (5 arc min plus) conjunction back on June 4, 1978. I shot with ep projection, 5 shots, probably a few second exposure each at most. I was using Tech Pan, probably developed in a machine processor we had at the Navy Lab I worked at at the time in Washington, DC.
Anyway, One fram had this object between Mars and Saturn. It appears to me to be a meteor entering the atmosphere at just the time the exposure was made. What does it look like to you?

Meade 60mm Backpack Scope

Posted By Walter Hamler
I bought one of these a year or so ago and it works surprisingly well. However, it IS 60mm, so I am wondering how hard it would be to replace the ota with a Celestron 80mm f/5 ota that I have. The mount should be able to handle it no problem. Anyone ever taken one of these small Meade units apart?
Or am I just crazy? :-)
