Site of the Day for Monday, January 07, 2002 Starmatt Astrophotography
Matt BenDaniel's stunningly beautiful Astrophotography site is just what the List ordered for its world-weary members. If the trials and terrors of terra firma are weighing heavily on your spirit, take a refreshing look towards the heavens from this spectacular website. BenDaniel's photography has been featured on NASA's "Astronomy Picture of the Day" and has found its way to astronomy textbooks as well. The Gallery of images is breathtaking. A particularly useful feature on some of the webpages is the superimposed star chart which appears if you do a "mouseover" across the image. For serious photographers on the List, equipment and technical specifications are listed to the right of each image, which can make interesting reading for non-photographers, as well, since BenDaniel includes such data as distance (in light years, naturally), exposure time, location, weather conditions and equipment used for the shot, including the telescope. Linger for a while at a website which brings visions from light years away and luxuriate in the wonder and awe of the universe at: http://people.ne.mediaone.net/mbendaniel/index.html A.M.
