Title: Moonpix.
Post by: doug on May 30, 2009, 10:16:04

     Okay .... here we go again.  Once more into the breach, dear friends .....  Having another go at putting an image on the Forum.

     http://www.amateur-astronomy.org/Images/008jpg

     If this does not work then I will e-mail it to somebody, in hopes that they will post it/them for me.  :roll:

Doug, it looks like there's a typo in your link. It comes up not found.

I also think you're using the "(http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/Themes/oas/images/bbc/url.gif)" button when you should be using the "(http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/Themes/oas/images/bbc/img.gif)"

Keep plugging away, you'll get the hang of it soon, and then you can become the person everyone else asks, "how do you put a image on the forum, then?"

Doug asked me to post these for him, he did not realise they had to go into some webspace first, so I've put them on the gallery under his name.  I will give Doug a lesson in the near future.

Nice images,

I like the vignetting in the last image,
It gives the feeling that you are looking at it from quite close up.

Hi Doug,

Love it, I allways like images where we just get them through the scope without massive agony and expense :-) great image.

     Thanks for nice comments.  In the middle pic the three craters are Theopholus, Cyrillus and Catarina....... I think.

     Tony Buick, please confirm.

Doug,

Lovely images, and through the ETX 70. Did you get it working again?
Keep them coming.

Very nice Doug,  The porthole effect reminds me of some of the pictures sent back from the Apollo Moon missions.

     Yeah, Tony, it`s working in a limited fashion.   Sometimes it`s a go-to and sometimes it ain`t!!  I can manipulate it (that`s a good word, Chris, for you) with the handset to shunt to and fro.  You wait until I can get pix through the new scope.   :D
