Crescent Moon & Venus.

Very nice Doug!!!!

[Rick]

...though I found things in the OAS gallery a little... mangled... 

I can see you tried to upload the image to the gallery, but I confess I can't figure out just what you did wrong to mangle things so... interestingly...

Nice image Doug

     It`s wonderful what a lack of knowledge on my part can spark off............

[doug]

    ........ and sorry, Rick.  I hope I haven`t mangled the Gallery up irreparably.  You`ll have to re-explain how to do it properly.  I will learn to do it one eon!!!!

Nice pic Doug.  I also took one with my camera hand held, no telescope and was thinking of trying to upload it but am having second thoughts now as I couldn't see Doug's pic either and am also very good at mangling things!

There are instructions on how to put images into the gallery in this topic.

I'm actually not quite sure where the gallery problems came from, but they seem to have something to do with something you (Doug) did. If I figure it out, I'll adjust the instructions to help other folk avoid the issue. Likewise, if it turns out to be something else entirely...

[Delphine]

Right I have successfully put my moon and venus picture into the gallery.  Not sure if that is the right place for it as it doesn't compare with all the other fantastic images.  I really intended to put it in here not the gallery but I haven't figured that out yet and now I am off to recover with a cup of tea!

[Mike]

I thought it was Doug's Moon & Venus image?!?!?!? I am confused now.

Dougs is on "amateur-astronomy" and Delphines is on "OAS"

I think - although I have been known to get things wrong

Oh!  I wondered why I couldn't find Doug's.  Mine is the one where I am called Murray! - and has a lighter background with some twigs on the left hand side.  I have most likely put mine in the wrong place - sorry

This has to be turning into the most confusing OAS thread of all time....

I blame Doug for starting it.......

And he broke the Gallery

I am going to have a go at posting Delphine's which is also a very nice picture, but interesting to see that this URL address on the gallery also has two forward slashes as follows:
http://gallery.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/albums/userpics/10010/normal_Moon___Venus_-_27_Feb_2009.JPG

Right now the posting and see if this works!!!

Nice image.

interesting to see that this URL address on the gallery also has two forward slashes as follows:

// is correct and normal, just look at any link on any web site,
it was the one with the three ///  that was incorrect.
