[Re: Greg K.]       #917527 - 04/18/06 05:22 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you, everyone! I had deliberately over-contrasted this image to highlight the color and certainly never expected it to "win" anything. I've been observing for 40 years and have never made a sketch as good as Eric's. And David's Mars picture is outstanding, the colors make it seem a livable planet. Congratulations to you both! -------------------- Michael Hernandez http://www.darkfireastro.com Resident Astronomer http://www.sacramentomountainastropark.com Post Extras:       Dee professor emeritus Reged: 03/12/06 Posts: 637 Loc: Ireland Re: March Imaging/Sketching Contest Poll Results!
