Hi everyone

For our July 25th Public evening I'd very much like to showcase some of the moon and Sun pictures taken by society members. I have access to an A3 photographic printer so would like to print about 10. Please let me know if you have something you'd be happy for me to print and show, and either email it to me or if more than 10Mb stick it on a disc and post it or I can pick it up from you. Ideally I'd like it at the original resolution you took it.

Thanks

Daniel

Hi Jim, not sure if your interested as i've still not joined (really have to do this at some bloody point) but I have a moon image that's made up of 2x 22 megapixel images would probably look pretty cool at A3 here's a low res, the colour difference has since been fixed



I've also got quite a few sun pics as well as animations, too many to list here, but have a look through my flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/23188472@N02/

most of the sun pics are animations if you view them at full size.

Jim,

Why not go through the gallery, pick out a few images from there, and then contact whoever to get the original images.

Jim do you want the original file i.e. the .fit or raw so you can process it

or do you just want the processed ones. or both?

Mac.

Daniel, that's one big image !!!  I take it you have a small off-site storage farm to store all your images...

Nice edit there admin ;)

Daniel - Great images and I'd love to show them if you promise to join! Can you mail them via http://www.sendspace.com/. This allows a free transfer for files upto 300Mb. Pick what you consider your best, one moon and one Sun.

Tony - I'd rather people pick what they consider their best, also the resolution in the gallery is quite low so it's hard to know what would look good at A3. You had some good moon ones didn't you?

Mac - Send me it processed but at the highest res you have, ideally tif. Use http://www.sendspace.com/ if you can.

Mike - Sorry mate, time machine? you've lost me...

The resolution on the gallery is whatever resolution folks decide to use for their upload. I think we've now got the limits set so that folks could upload high resolution images if they wished. Most of the early images (which were in the first version of the gallery) are fairly small, but at least some of the more recent ones are rather larger. A few examples being:

http://gallery.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/displayimage-444.html

http://gallery.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/displayimage-469.html
http://gallery.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/displayimage-478.html

It might help to know how big an image needs to be to look good on your A3 printer.

Your original post said "Moon pictures taken on the 25th July" but it looks like words have magically re-arranged them selves ;)
