By Goerge, I think I've got it

I think I have worked out my picture postings, here goes, two of my first attempt at photographing the moon, I need more practise, I'll get there eventually.
Why my moon is green, I don't know, but I like it, the second, all I need is for a to witch fly across the front.

Yehhhhhhh, I did it, brainiac in the making.

Hi Mike,
Thanks, I was happy when I saw some of my pictures, I've never tried before. When I saw some of the other peoples photo's I was in total awe, I love them and thought I might give it a go. Haven't been sucessful with other planets or stars though, but I am not sure whether my equipment is quite up to scratch for it, nor me, come to think of it.
I have a Nexstar SE4 and and Olypmus E300 camera, I'm not too pleased with the camera, I am not a digital person so it can be a bit confusing. I really love my manual camera's but have to keep up with the times. The thing that bothers me with my camera is once you take of the lense you loose all control of the camera so it will be trial and error with my Olympus until I find something better and or easier to understand.

Will persist though, I'm having a ball trying and this website is so much fun to read, I like to thank all the people involved with the site too, there is so much to learn but you all make is so much more fun.

Special WitchCam (SWC-666) on an ED79 ... highly recommended for imaging transits of dark matter and mythical creatures.

You guys are great, you crack me up.
I'm popping in and out today on the computer, I'm painting the company kitchen.
Hopefully I will get to look in the equipment forum, see what goodies are out there, I think I might look at camera's. Every good girl needs new equipment to play with.

I'm good at cleaning up mess's, you just through everything in the chipper shredder and throw it on the garden. That's what I keep telling my other half, no wasteful funerals in my house, he goes straight on the garden as blood and bone. Enviro friendly house hold.

Tell me, on your postings how do you get your name etc on the bottom of the post, I presume it's in user CP, but where, (I can hear you, yeah yeah I know, derrrrrr !!)

I thought it was my missus in the image? Nice start, at least it gives the moon some subjectivity?
