Brewer's Blackbird?

Posted By Jose Suro

Very Sharp! Could be a Rusty Blackbird too. Looks like it's missing a claw on the left foot sad.

Great Horned Owl and youngster

Outstanding picture. The colors of the rocks are very close to those of the birds - probably why they are there in the first place. A classic.

What can you expect on Mars....

Posted By Jose Suro

Hi Ron,

I agree with you 100%. I took your image and applied a gausian blur to match the pixel count on my monitor for a 10-inch and a 4-inch scope in arc seconds and then reduced them to kind of match my Six Scopes post and the images are remarkably similar to the Aberrator images.

Seeing is the thing, no doubt. And most of the time in most places the 4" scopes will give a good image on the average. It is only in those small moments that come every 1 or 2 minutes where the bigger scopes can pull ahead.

Absolutely outstanding! Pick of the litter if I may say smile. If I may ask, over what period of time did you capture the 121 frames?
