PhotographerRichard McCoyLocationMead, ColoradoDate8/25/07, 8:09PM MDTEquipmentNikon D70s Takahashi FSQ-106EDDescriptionWhile preparing for the eclipse, I shot this picture of a gibbous moon. Instead of leaving the picture "normal" I increased the color saturation in Photoshop a bit to see if I could reproduce add some interest to the image. I was very surprised by the large range of lunar color captured in a simple snap shot. |

Then color correction, contrast, and luminosity adjustments in Photoshop.DescriptionWednesday, I was on the Beach. There, during last Full Moon, someone has built a strange tribe of stone characters with rocks picked up around. Nobody knows who he is, but the result is fantastic! In the pictures, those odd creatures seem to contemplate the Milky Way. On the right, Jupiter is reflecting in the ocean. In this gallery, you'll see many other pictures taken that night. |

PhotographerPeter LardizabalLocationLighthouse Point Park, FLDate6/8/07 approx. 7:42 pmEquipmentTele Vue NP-101, home built alt-az mount, 2x Tele Vue barlow, 3" extension tube, Canon 30D Effective focal Lent is about 1728mm (540mm X 2) X 1.6 (camera multiplying factor)DescriptionOblique view of the shuttle launch. Lighthouse Point Park, FL is 30 or so miles north of the Cape. Typical views of the SRB separation from the Cape show the rear view of the shuttle. This view is from the side and scales out to a line of sight distance of approximately 54 miles. Vehicle velocity at this point is near one mile per second. The most difficult considerations are panning at this long focal length and manually focusing at the same time. |
