Tyler,
Don't worry about the vignetting. It's something we all have to live with once in a while. Everything looks great, and the effect isn't bad anyway. Keep em' coming. Regards, Kurt Horsley

Nice shot Michael. This is all I could get so far. It's just not the same without the tail. -Kurt Horsley

Should I return my Celestron Nexstar 5 ?

Posted By Kurt Horsley
Anthony,
You got a great deal on a great scope. I've had my N5 since they came out a few years ago and am still totally satisfied with it. I also have several other scopes including high quality refractors, but love the portability and very high optical quality of my nexstar5. It does everything I could ask of it and is remarkably trouble free. It's a great choice for a first "serious" telescope. Having the GOTO pointing is like having an experienced instructor to show you around the sky. And, if you have any trouble with operation, or it actually requires service, there are few companies that will take better care of you than Celestron. Have fun! -Kurt Horsley

Mule Deer Buck below a Large Dam

Tyler,
Great shot. You're really lucky to be in such a great area for taking wildlife photos. Enjoy it. It amazes me how many people live in remote areas and never even think about taking a picture or enjoying the wildlife and natural scenery, not to mention the astronomy possibilities from a truly dark site. Too bad... -Kurt Horsley

A bigger buck

WOW! What a site. That is one big boy. Nice and fat too. I don't think I've ever seen a buck that fat. -Kurt Horsley

Peeking Buck!

Tyler,
Good one! These "totally natural" scenes are my favorite. It closly reflects what you would expect to see in the wild. I really like the deer shown in it's surroundings. In my opinion, it's much more pleasing than a large portrait shot of just the head and face of an animal. Although it's just my own personal opinion, I try to impress on people the lesson learned from astronomy: When it comes to magnification, less is more... -Kurt Horsley

Good pictures. They really are a little rough looking this time of year. I like seeing these in the wild. They're fun to watch, especially the calves. Check out those leg muscles. -Kurt Horsley

I saw the other photo. And this one is even better. Now I'm jealous. It must be nice to have "EAGLES", not to mention all the other wildlife you have. -Kurt Horsley
