For anyone who is interested, here is one of the pictures I took of the
eclipse:

It was taken on a Nikon D70 with a TMB 175 apo refractor.

Wow! That's a keeper.

Thanks.

It was a nice event, and fortunately the clouds held off here.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, the clouds rolled in quickly around 10:40 - so most of totality was obscured. My later shots were taken through my Questar 700 so the public could look through the TMB, and I'm afraid I wasn't able to get critical focus with the Moon so
dim.

If anyone is interested, higher resolution copies are available by email if you contact me directly.


It's my understanding that the liberal elite had control of this lunar
eclipse and planned to, without success of course, to reflect the
words "Kerry for President" on the moon's surface.



BTW - IF shifting can get rid of interferences that a notch filter
might not be able to do.

Keep hitting that bong, Willie; your credibility grows by
leaps and bounds every day!

BTW - Don't you have some vomit to choke on?

Here's a shot of M57 I did a couple months back:

http://users.adelphia.net/~msholden/m57.jpg

The main problem I have with shots like this is light pollution. If I go long enough to make the central star easy to see, the background starts to wash out.

But taking these photos while listening to my "portable" 7030+ is fun.

Also, for those interested in tuning in Jupiter on their shortwave radios, here's a link with information. I suspect most of us have better radios than the kit they offer:

Hey mark!

great pictures..!
- and a refractor, no less.. Amazing...
And I agree, Shortwave and Astronomy do go well together;
