A little guy...taken with a Nikon D70 with the kit lens at 70mm FL, as close as it would focus.

Hartley this morning

Here is an image from this morning, 38 x 1 min @ ISO1600 through an 8" f/5 Newt. This is taken from the middle of OKC, with 4th mag skies near the zenith. The 38 images were taken over a span of about 45 minutes, starting a little before 6:00 CDT.

Giant Swallowtail Caterpillar?

Posted By Steve Mathis
My best guess anyway. It emits a foul odor if handled (I found out). Best off all is its showy response to being disturbed!

TALL Prom on the Sun!

Posted By Steve Mathis
At 11:00 AM CDT...I just came in from viewing the sun in white light, and in H-alpha. Sunspot 1117 is very cool in white light, lots of intricate detail. I can see 1117 with the naked eye (through my sun filter of course), so it is huge. There is very tall, straight prominence on the limb in H-a, maybe 1/8 of a solar diameter tall!

Maredolia

Posted By Steve Mathis
The evening sun comes through the window, hits the plastic packaging of an item on the desk, and bounces onto the wall. I underexposed the shot in my haste, so this is stretched a lot. And "cropped".

PS The "item" from which the light is reflected is an unopened Albert Einstein Action Figure. Don't ask...
