Just right click on the image and copy the URL. Then paste that between the image tags.

Or do what Rick said.

Doug,

That's a great picture!  You must be proud of it.

What technique did you use to take it?

when you use flicker select your image goto actions and then view all sizes

select the size of image you want

Ive' selected your large one. ;)

then right mouse click on the image and select copy image URL

once you have done that click on the insert image above so you get the following code.

It's a pretty good image. The exposure looks good as the light parts are not washed out. A slight tweak of the brightness and contracts settings should make a big improvement and maybe an small amount of unsharp mask too.

I was there too and Doug was using a little hand held digital camera through the eyepiece.  I think it was through either David Price or Ken's ETX.

Not bad for a handheld camera through the eyepiece, it's very difficult to get the object straight.
