Okay, technically not a flower or black velvet background, but it is asparagus cream soup, pan sauted asparagus and curry wursts. I like to cook and document the results of Lynn's Just Above Average Diner . The old clock on the wall says it's time to start jumping to conclusions again.

Aug 9 12 9:27 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thats hilarious. Do you move him around to look in windows or at the neighbors? SuZan, I need to ask you again about that Milky Way shot now. I got a few shots about 5 weeks ago at f4.5, 3200 iso, and 20 seconds. Decent results but high above the horizon and I want trees in it so hoping for a better shot llike right now. I went out to shoot on Monday. It was good and dark but I didn't see anything like the center in the sky, just the more usual winter cloudy band. I was miffed, hoping to find the center now closer to the horizon. Isn't August peak viewing for your latitude? (I'm 40 miles north of the 45th parallel so similar to you in ID). Have you got any shots of it this summer? I can't believe its gone below already. I would have sworn from reading that August was good for our latitude. Thanks in advance for an explanation, I really want to get this shot right this summer.

And at the horizen the "teapot" - Sagittarius constellation, which makes the milkey way look like steam coming out of the teapot. I wished I had some pearls of wisdom to give you concerning getting the "right" shot, but I gots nothing It sounds like you have a vision in your head of the photo you are trying to get. I hope the night get right for you soon. Oh and my bigfoot (I just love him) He will be a mobile feature in my yard. A "Where's Waldo" kinda thing LOL Dear Auto correct, Would you please stop correcting my swear words you piece of shut?

Aug 10 12 8:31 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks SuZan, your description tells me I'm looking for Sagittarius so that is a help. Maybe I can look up a starchart online and the specific target makes this easier. Since I know the galactic center is blocked by gas and clouds that is probably "the teapot". Maybe there were some faint clouds on Monday when I expected to see things but you confirmed that this is the right time of year so I'd better look again before the moon comes back! Thanks a bunch. Where's Waldo? Cool. I can imagine a neighbor doing a double take. Russ, good weather luck!

Hey Lynaron I was wondering what you thought of that circular polarized now you've had it a while. I just got a new filter too. The HOYA 72 a infrared. It was 50 bucks but its really cool. Ill put up a shot when I can. SuZan I got the Milky Way shots so thanks. Maybe old to you but I thought it was really cool since you can't see much naked eye. I was WAY off on the lens. No idea how that got mixed up but just 17mm ( equal to 24 km). Took them in RAW. Ill put one up next week. Last night the sky was so clear it was like being out west in the mountains. A great sight.

I really like/love the polarizer and it lives for the most part on the lens, only coming off when it absolutely has to. The stairwell pics would have been really washed out with out it and actually could use a bit of tweeking in PhotoShop to bring down the highlights and up the shadows a tad. Looking forward to your infrared shot, I always been fond of that kind of effect. And your Milky Way images, also. The old clock on the wall says it's time to start jumping to conclusions again.

I know it's a bit blurry, but I'm not fond of these guys and the less I have to do with them the better ! The old clock on the wall says it's time to start jumping to conclusions again.
