WoW! Your pics are awesome and so is your equipment...This morning there was an awesome Lunar Shadow or Eclipse of some sort...I have a Canon Powershot S3 and am a beginner in photography with alot to learn about settings and my pics came out awful but I hope you saw it and that you got some great shots of it...you definitely get my vote!

this gallery is so wonderful and such a gift to explore... i have stargazing since i was a kid... right now i traded my broken nonfocusing nikonn8800 for a new sony R1... i still have not taken the plunge to a dslr... if i were.. what would you recommend...
back to this gallery.... the images are so wonderful... the soft marble like painting almost of the lunar exlipse and the moon shots... them all!
bravo... i know this is a lot of work.dedication/cold late night!
vote!!! ps the shots in my first gallery that i just got with my broken nikon at 10x i would not have "seen" that way with my new and fast focusing working sony but!!! only 5x... confusing for the moment!

I'm so jealous. I have always wanted to do Astrophotography but have never been in possesion of the equipment. These are absolutely fantastic!
Blake 02-Sep-2004 15:42
Thank you for sharing your eye with the less talented.
I am very impressed and in awe of your time and talent.
We of little skill can only strive to attain such greatness.
Thanks again for the inspiration,
Blake
