Star Party Tomorrow Night

A wonderful opportunity for the entire family to take in fantastic planetarium shows as well as view the moon, planets, and deep sky objects will be at the Clarke Planetarium in Portsmouth, OH tomorrow night starting at 7 p.m. It will be first light for my AP 130 refractor and what a way to break it in by sharing views of the cosmos with folks young and old but with imaginative minds. If you live near the planetarium I hope you can join us for a fantastic evening.

I am awaiting a new power supply on my newly upgraded workstation so i may begin work on the most recent acquisitions from the Colorado Plateau. Should begin work this Thursday.

So I probably captured about 150 unique scenes with different compositions. The optimization work is now beginning.

Back from the West

Just returned from 8 days of fantastic light and photography on the Colorado plateau. Internet and AT&T wireless coverage was very sparse so I could not update the blog as I had wished. Now the work begins on optimizing the images. I don't want to say too much right now and just let the work speak for itself. Please stay tuned for much more in the coming days.

Going west

I forgot to post to the blog that I am heading west for photography in the southern Utah region. I may post some updates to the blog, but all updates will be posted to my facebook and Twitter pages. You can find links to those pages on the contact page. Sorry for not linking, but I am texting this from the iPhone and stopping briefly in dillon, co. Back on the road.
