New Glasses - What to Look For

Posted By Bill Byrd
[COLOR="Purple"]It's time for me to get new eyeglasses. I haven't had a prescription change so it's been 5 years since I bought the current frames and lenses. What's the "latest & greatest" when it comes to eyeglass lenses? I need progressive lenses. Other than that, what type of lens and coating would you all recommend?
Thanks!

[COLOR="Purple"]I really need to learn how to use layers! This is a poor attempt to capture a lunar corona seen in S TX tonight.

Rock Cactus

[COLOR="Purple"]This cactus is really optimistic! It's growing in a small depression in the rock...not much soil there to work with!

Enchanted Rock State Natural Area in S Texas.

Moon Halo and Tent

Posted By Bill Byrd
[COLOR="Purple"]It's kinda hard to make out (I really need to learn how to use layers in PS!) but there's a faint halo around the moon.
