I was observing a couple nights before and noticed that around 9:20pm the dipper asterism flowed with the curvature of the tree tops. I thought it would make a pretty neat forground. I plan to do more with a 28mm wide angle. I noticed last night while observing the Jupiter transit event that around 2:30am the entire Ursa Major constellation is a clear straight shot to the northwest from my backyard just above the tree tops. Im surrounded on all 4 sides by trees. I have to do all at home imaging and observing above 50 degrees. -------------------- John SV-102APO SV-80/9d Losmandy G11 HX-916 Edited by Blueshark928 (03/28/04 04:36 PM) Post Extras:       Dave Mitsky Postmaster Reged: 04/08/02 Posts: 6116 Loc: Pennsylvania, USA Re: Mar 15- Apr 15 "Other" Astro Photo Commentary [Re: Blueshark928]       #89685 - 04/13/04 04:18 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   IMO, all those categories shouldn't be lumped together. If there must be photos of flowers and so on place them in a separate category. Dave Mitsky -------------------- Chance favors the prepared mind. De gustibus non est disputandum.
