That's some nice work there, Jim! The hi-res version is very cool! Are you do this from Golden, or do you have to drive to a darker site?

I posted this on the "other" astro forum, where there are plenty of folks willing to tell you exactly what is wrong with your work...and they did! I started from scratch with the processing, and came up with this. More natural color, I think. The other version really was too blue.

Thanks, Lee. I kept hoping he would get in the clear, but no.

M108 and M97

That is very cool, Tyler! A great scale for these...they are both kind of odd looking objects to be in the same field of view.

If the AC adapter for your camera is not prohibitively expensive and you have AC power handy, that would be a way to go. No more battery worries. I power my Nikon that way even in the boonies, using an inverter plugged into my truck and an extension cord.

Cold Truths About Northeast's Harsh Winter

I love his opening...

"We're the nation that put a man on the moon, so we can't be stupid. We're just pretending, right?"

Maybe forty years ago we weren't stupid. Now, I'm not so sure. There are plenty of stupid people around now, and some of them have big megaphones.

On behalf of the good citizens of Oklahoma, I apologize for giving you Senator Jim Inhofe. cwy
