Guest Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I was watcihing some of my old astronomy videos and had mixed feelings. Some of them just did not look good on a 48" telly. Many of them I remember taking under rather difficult conditions but still looked averagish. I remember my "epic" Beehive (M44) of April 2009 taken with an ST80 and compact digital camera. Although it looked good at the time, I have taken many far better ones since with my DSLR. However, some of my shots, especially of the Moon and constellations made me think "Did I really take that?" I guess most of us feel the same. I'm certainly no expert but, generally, I'm amazed by what us amateur astronomers are capable of doing. I have shown many amateur shots (including some of mine) to non-astronomers and they think they were taken from spacecraft. As a group of people, I think we can be proud of what we've done.

I agree Phil, there are some absolutely amazing images posted by EMS'ers on a regular basis. ? Show us your 2009 M44 Phil. It will definitely be something I will aspire to. ??

Yes, I know how to fix it but I'm hoping for another bite of the cherry this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
