Gordon's scope
- Orion 250mm Newtonian, f4.8 on a Vixen Sphinx GOTO mounting |
 |
A fine rainbow we saw
in the Swiss Alps this Summer. We were high up and looking down a steep
slope. As a result, the whole of the (main) bow was below eye level! This is
only possible if there is a long, steep slope. |

Hand-held photo of the Moon and Jupiter (and maybe
a star or two?). Olympus compact camera that I use for all my lunar and
planet photos. The camera was set for maximum avoidance of camera shake. So
it set itself to 1/20 second at f 2.8 and ISO 2500. Rather grainy but pretty
good? |
