Charlotte Panorama

Not sure if that can pass for "landscape", but this is a panoramic picture of Charlotte taken on 12/30/2005. I took 7 individual pictures that I stitched together with Pano Tools assembler. It's not the full-size final picture... I used a Canon 20D at ISO 400, tripod, remote cable, and a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens set at f/6.3. Each picture was exposed for 1.3 seconds. I processed the individual pics to have a smooth seamless sky, removed a few stars, removed the global red cast.

That's a lovely shot, Jean-Denis, and maybe it's urban, but it IS a landscape! Thanks for sharing it here.

A Little Bit of Color

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh
I have no idea what these are called, but the blooms are only about a half-inch across. Also from last Spring.

A little more color

Another wild columbine, this one from my dad's farm. My mom had collected seeds from some wild plants in Colorado and scattered them in their yard in MO.

Here's another one he took of the creek. Those are water striders on the surface of the pool.

Nice photo, Vince. The dusting of snow makes the details stand out. I like the framing of the shot through the trees in the foreground too. Very nice!

On Frozen Pond

I liked the way the ice formed ripples around the rocks. It reminded me of those gravel Japanese dry gardens.

Just beautiful, Jerry! That's a photo you can gaze into and feel like you are there.

Where exactly is this located?

Fun Targets

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh
One of my favorite fun targets for summertime visitors is the "Fairy Ring" in Cygnus. It's six pairs of stars, roughly in a circle, with another pair in the middle. I first learned about in the Sky-Spot "Overlooked Objects" Telrad chart book. I can't find too many references on line except that it's at RA 20h 4m and Dec 38d 20m. Some describe it as hard to locate, but I can usually go right to it even in here in the bright 'burbs of Chicago.

Clear, fun skies!
