Waaaayyyy OT: Astronomy

[Glenn Fricker]

I'm curious if there's any amateur astronomers on this board. I find nothing more relaxing after a long day of screaming at drummers, than to head outside, set up my telescope and realize just how insignificant we are in the grand scope of things.

Fortunately, I'm located a fair distance from the nearest city, so I have a 'decent' night sky. Nothing spectacular, but our nearest national park just implemented a lights out policy, so I'll be checking that out real soon.

Anyway, here's my first lame attempt at astrophotography.... This was shot using my shitty 2 megapixel fuji, using the "pray & click" method. Hell, I didn't even have a mount for it.. I held the camera by hand!

Astronomy, not at all... but I am very much into agriculture. =)

Another piece of the puzzle falls into place.

Enough of those, and you'll actually be in Oz's next picture! :Smokin:

I don't actually have a telescope, but I love pictures of galexys, nebulas and stars.

Some of my favorites

^^^It's very cool to know that this solar flare is so many (hundreds I believe) times the size of earth.
