Great light. It really adds to the contrast and the "mood" of the cold weather. -Kurt Horsley

Belted Kingfisher with a Fish

Tyler,
That's just amazing. Those things are fast and don't stay put very long. How in the world did you have time to put a C5 on him and get such good pictures. The ones around here are so nervous that they just can't sit still. -Kurt Horsley

Re: I may have been ripped off, what I do now?

Two weeks is entirely too long to sit on a package. It should be shipped THE SAME DAY, or the following day that your check is cashed. Waiting two weeks, no matter what the circumstances, is absolutely rediculous. Even if it works out, I would still reflect poor performance in his feedback. Personally, if my house burned to the ground (with your scope in it) I would still send an email to you IMMEDIATELY, and let you know what was happening. Cashing someone's check, and then disappearing, is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE under ANY circumstance, PERIOD! -Kurt Horsley

Wow...now that's unusual. What an interesting scene. It's a great shot, and very unlikely that anyone else could ever make a similar image. -Kurt Horsley

Home Made Adapter

David,
I have built one myslef that looks and works much like the Orion version. The parts were all at the hardware store and I made it for around $4, but I did have some parts from broken tripods and other camera equipment. It's really easy, just use your imagination. -Kurt Horsley

New digi cam pic- the bad boys

Cool picture Brian,
We see so many high power views from digiscoping that it's easy to forget just how good a subject looks when framed in it's environment. Much like astronomy, low power often provides the best view. -Kurt Horsley
