Astronomy is a great hobby, its peaceful and serene but not without a few
surprises once in a while. One time when I was twenty or so minutes into an
exposure of the
Lagoon Nebula
I was rudely interrupted by one of our little furry friends with a
white
streak down its back! I mean as I was guiding the exposure he put his two front
paws on my right knee and with his nose raised way up in the air was sniffing
to beat the band.The only thing that moved on me was my eyeballs! I couldn`t
believe he got that close without me knowing it ! I mean they do have a way of
announcing themselves usually.Ironically I ended up with the best photo I have
ever taken of the
nebula with film .
!
Anyway I just thought I`d share these images with anyone who would like to see
them. They do show in many respects the increased capability of amateur
equipment over the years . Who knows? They might stir something in someone
that could put them in
touch with a terrific hobby that has an endless supply of subjects . With
just a pair of binnoculars there are hundreds of things that are easy to see if
you just know where to look ! A good feeling accompanies each and every
acquisition
regardless of what it is and finding them again gets easier and easier each
time out !
If anyone has any comments or suggestions or if I can do anything to help someone I would be glad to here from them. I can be reached at ....
