nice pic. I like the dust lanes (as opposed to dust doughnuts).

What field of view is it?

This pic needs to go on the gallery ! We haven't had any new pics since 3rd July !!! The weather has had a major influence on that though ! :sad:

The gallery is probably going to have to lose a few of the older pictures to make room for newer ones (when Greg gets round to sorting them), 'cos my webspace is bleep-near full... :wink:

...but it is time it got some new ones, so get out there and take some!

Ok, the weather isn't co-operating at the moment, so I'll let you off tonight... ;>

No way, we can't lose any pics they are far too good. I am more than willing to donate some of my webspace, I have 55Mb and won't be using any where near that much.

Well, those of you with your own webspace could put up your own galleries of your own picccies, and tell me where they are so that I can add a link from our site to various members' sites.

Please. :wink:

Perhaps we could ask Greg for a webpage template to make it easy?

Post by: Mike on Oct 15, 2002, 22:16:00
Yup, could do that. With maybe just thumbnails on the OAS site leading to the main pics on the members sites. I agree that Greg should crate a template so they all look the same.

Do we have enough images of different types of objects to consider catigorizing (Help where is the spellchecker when you need it) the images in a Gallary archive?
PS I would have room on my site to hose some images.

I'm sure there's plenty of people willing to donate webspace. NTL have just upgraded mine from 10Mb to 55Mb and I certainly wont use all of that !!

Just out of interest, played arround with the astrometry tool, this image is recording stars in excess of mag 18!
