Hi all,
I was wondering whether anyone wanted to donate a couple of images for use on wikipedia? I've been adding content to space articles and figured that a nice exposure showing the lead stars nicely and hopefully some of the milky way and nebulosity would be good (was reading about Pyxis and books saying no-one had imaged the constellation field with a dark area along one of its edges...). Triangulum Australe I thought because the triangle is quite distinctive and might look interesting contrasted against the background.
The issue with wikipedia is its copyright release, which insists upon folks releasing content for commercial use. If anyone is ok with that, then it would be great to upload some images at wikimedia commons. Of course anyone is welcome to upload interesting photos of other objects too.
cheers :)
