Salyavin, these photos are wonderful, thank you for posting. My favorite is Star Icefall in the Earth & Space category. I really like that they have categories. Thanks too for your more recent post about change in Sun's magnetic field.
Hey, diverging onto another topic, I noticed that the photos are in a royal museum. I wonder what would happen to such places if the monarachy were to be abolished. ________________________________ From: salyavin808 <fintlewoodle...@mail.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 5:58 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Brian May excited by these pics!? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "card" <cardemaister@...> wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "card" wrote: > > > > > > Doctor of astrophysics, guitarist of Queen, Brian May > > is said to be interested in these pics by Mr. Metsävainio > > (metsä-vainio - forest-field): > > > > http://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/ > > > > astro <http://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/> Great stuff, it's amazing the sort of picture quality you can get with modest equipment from your back yard these days. I always make a pilgrimage to the Astrophotographer of the year at Greenwich, the pics there are within a gnats teat of what you used to only get from a 200" mirror on top of a volcano in Hawaii. Hard to believe sometimes. http://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/astronomy-photographer-of-the-year/2012-winners/ A telescope, a digital camera and a lot of patience is all you need. And a fair bit of knowledge about the heavens but that goes without saying I'm sure.
