There is a vast selection of Astrophotography Images posted in this and other websites and I was wondering what everyone does with their Images.

Do you just leave them in the computer?
Do you print some out and frame them?
Do you print them out and place them in some sort of Scrapbook?

What do you do with your Astro Images?

I have framed a selection of my favourite Modified Toucam Images and they hang proudly just inside the front door of my home.

The rest of the images still live inside my Computer.

ATM I leave mine in the PC. But if I get a suitably good one I'd be happy to frame it!;) There in lies the problem:P...:D

My lunar eclipse montage hangs on my office wall - inside the building in the photo :)

I usually frame some of the best, but most stay on the computer, but all images are backed up on an external hard drive, so if the computer cracks it i still have them to up load.

I put mine together in a slide show with some music and labels and burn to DVD. It's an easy way to show interested people why I'm tired at work all the time. They also get backed up on disk and then erased from the hard drive to make more room.

Most of them are on an external hard drive.. occassionally I print them out, but not often.

Getting permission from the boss to hang them on the walls at home is virtually impossible :) But at least my terrestrial photography is in frames on the wall.

Mine are all just siting on the HD.
I'll have to get around to sorting them one day.

:D

I have all mine backed up on a hard drive and have some printed. I find the framing most costly. That's why mine are not framed . One day i will frame then.

Ditto, but I do have backups on an external Hdd, damn handy as a whole directory of images disappeared recently and had to be replaced from the backup.

I back up everything on a CD or DVD, they don't crash :)

Oh, that reminds me, I have mine on 'You Tube' to Music.



Oops, I must do that. I have no back-ups yet. I have placed my Favourites into the Deep-Sky-Imager group Gallery. So I suppose some of them are backed up in a way. :whistle:



I got my frames from the Reject Shop. 'A4' Certificate Frames for $2 each. :thumbsup:
They even have 'A3' frames for $4 each.

Hi Ken, my collection is burnt to DVD. When we move into our new house I'll start printing them out and hanging them up.

Cheers

I would like to have more of mine framed and in the house and observatory than I do. It's a case of not getting around to it, and not wanting to spend the money on it :)

Digitally, they sit on 3 HD's (primary & 2 backups).

Oh, and I sell'm, which gives me a good excuse to print'm ;)

I usually print out the good ones and stick them out in the pool room but still waiting for a really good one to frame, else it's to the dvd.

If I would be able to take images like that I too would hang them all over the place so people could see how beautiful the universe can be.

But at present, starting off, I hide them on my computer or burn them to CD.

Funny you should start this thread.
A few days ago I got printed out the best of my feeble efforts.
Yesterday I bought a photo album and today, in between serving customers, I put the the photos in it.
I also bought some cheap but nice 6"x8" all glass photo holders ($1.49 each) so I can hang a few of my favorite moonages.
Otherwise the only images I've bothered framing were ones that I've entered into competitions. Those A4 certificate frames do the job nicely.
It is prefered that they are not hung in the house, but I'll soon have just over 14 square metres of hanging space available once this observatory is up and running.

i usually forget about them, and occasionally come across them when looking for other stuff or disk - I am very unorganised
