Hi H.
Thanks for sharing that info with me! I do have a lot to learn, slowly though
One of these days i'll try taking a better photo of scorpius.
I haven't received my copy of that Covington book yet but I am looking forward to reading it. Let's hope Covington would be able to help me take better photos, whether it be of the stars/moon or just low light, which I love taking photos of!
Thanks again! Any advise/tips are much appreciated.
Cheers!
Christine

Also, all the cool stuff hangs in and around Scorpius. : )
Ah, Covington. One of his books on Prolog was a proscribed text for me at university when doing my major in natural language processing for a computing science degree. It was a couple of years later that I found out he wrote on astronomy, too.
Enjoy!
