EDIT: I also just noticed that your last entry is Mt. Tom from the 395. Cool beans.
ParticipantI actually decided against it anyway-I’m doing volcano and mountains. Before all that, however, I need to sleep. Somebody wake me in time for the contest.
/I’m right in the middle of an epic multi-day observing run. My brain is garbling all of the wharrs right now. Maybe I should stop typing and go to sleep. Heh.
//wrgironortoeo!ParticipantI’m torn between doing one of each, which I feel is more with the spirit of the theme, or doing all mountains, which for me is probably a stronger set. Gaah.
EDIT: Orionid (or anybody else, for that matter) are you going to be using an Akaka falls pic? If so, I’ll use something else. I know yours would blow mine away.
ParticipantOh man. The site was already great, but the charts are the best thing ever. Data!
ParticipantI’m not a religious person, but OH GOD WHY.
ParticipantYeah, that sounds about right. I picked up a cheap vivitar 28mm f/2.5 at my local camera shop. I love it for star shots and indoors, but the optical properties aren’t great wide open (coma like none other). It does have truly excellent color reproduction, though. I figure that it’s the best I can do on my current budget.
ParticipantYour work is truly superlative, man. I envy your code-fu.
ParticipantI’ll bite. What’dya get?
ParticipantSorry! I’m really hoping the forest opens up next month so I can take my dad and brother up for some eyepiece observing when they come visit me.
ParticipantOkay, so some difficulties have arisen. I need to leave pretty early to get all my stuff done up there, which usually would be fine, since you know where the telescope is. HOWEVER! The entire forest has now been closed to all traffic, and you need a special forest permit to get to the telescope. I have such a permit, but I think it only covers one person (me). Even if you were able to make it down here early enough to go up with me, I don’t think they’d allow you to stay. Unless you have some friends in the forest service who can get you an exemption permit, I don’t think it’s going to work.
ParticipantHa HA! Victory is mine!
ParticipantI’ve had a mac for a while, but the main reason for that is work-a lot of astronomical software doesn’t run on windows. All of it runs on linux, of course, and on the mac UNIX framework. At the time I got my first mac, I wasn’t really too aware of linux stuff, and by the time I was aware enough of it to acknowledge it as at least an equal contender (if not better than the alternatives), I already had my mac.
ParticipantIs it broccoli?
ParticipantWeird, andyofne, I seem to be able to get through just fine. Did you have entries you were planning on submitting?
ParticipantNOTICE: You do not need to read this post, I just need to vent about my crappy internet.
AAAAAAAAAARRRRGH. I knew I was going to be late posting today because of the hockey game, but when I finally got around to posting and saw that the thread was still on the first page I was really excited. Now my internet has decided to suck so hard that it takes 5 minutes to load fark-suddenly, and concurrently with me trying to post, resulting in me being on page two. I know it’s not too big of a deal, but I do recall seeing some stats that photos on page one usually do better than photos elsewhere.
Thanks for allowing me to vent.
