Title: Is there anybody out there...
Post by: Steve B on 27 June 2012, 23:35:17
Son done these in feb, with the telescope he got from santa.. a high spec camera up the ass of a scope..linked to
some software on a laptop.
 
The moon one is a one click pic.

The milky bar kid one[m42 nebula] took him over 30 frames[tracking] stacked[if that makes sence]

then put together with some software he has....He was out there ages with the door open .running in and out...........[why did he

not just google the image] ;D ;D ;D ;D..But i must say ....i love the pics...what a small universe we live in.

ive zoomed in on pic [1] and for the life of me cannot see a yank flag.. ;D ;D ;D

Fantastic pics :y
I don't believe for a minute we are alone. There HAS to be countless other worlds with Life evolving at all stages. The number of stars and galaxies out there, even the miniscule amount that we know of it utterly mind bending!

I read somewhere that if you counted every grain of sand on every beach on earth it doesn't even come close to what's out there. If that's true that just melts your mind. Well, it does mine anyway.

I agree, excellent pictures well worth the effort. :y :y

You may not see a flag but what about a big red bus ::) :(

Agree with Cam, infinity is a very big place, we can't be the only living things

This photo always brings it home as to how small we all are and that once we cock it all up then there is nowhere else to go

Definitely other life out there, however not like ours.

Either way in front (i.e. they have already been and had a look at us backward critters) or way behind and like us not got space travel pegged.

Great pics.
