Big woop!! I post my worst images as well as my best......it ain't a competition as you've informed my once or twice before!

Bird/Dennis/Rob_T/Matt/ice/& now you/& a few others kick my butt on astro-photos....SO THERE!!

ving (David) · #11 09-01-2006, 02:12 PM

you forgot mine john... myn are the bestest!

davidpretorius · #12 09-01-2006, 02:19 PM

i have not been completely honest,

true, yours have been awesome, but it had more to do with that i had spent an entire night from venus to jupiter and sirius and a double star and i was very happy with the night per say, but when it came to processing saturn and jupiter, they were a real mess..

i had also planned that evening to get uranus and neptune, but..........

i have not got around to finishing it off and now wont as i have deleted my old saturn and jupiters when i rebuild my computer.

here is half the work done. I have posted the rigel double before.

and yes ving, yours are the bestet, although i have never seen them!!!

a quick search in the solar system and deepspace forums will show ya my stuff

asimov (John) · #15 09-01-2006, 02:43 PM

Cheers for that mate! Perhaps it's just me but I can't see any shame in posting 'mediocre' shots. It's the fact that you got out there & had a go at all that counts!

It's human competitive nature/pride blah-blah/ to only post the best though, I know. But if I was going to wait until I got better than Bird.....You would never have even heard of 'Asimov' lol! let alone seen any of his pictures (crummy or otherwize)

So thanks again....They look cool to me!

Yes Ving, yours are the bestest!!

(I've been to your site/page)

I'm gonna knock up a "asidorks worst shots ever!" 'cos I can....

ving (David) · #16 09-01-2006, 02:46 PM

the ghost of jupiter nebula....

h0ughy (David) · #18 09-01-2006, 03:15 PM
