This looks like another earthstar, geastrum triplex (collared earthstar 
- gekraagde aardster), also not uncommon in dune areas.
I don't know about the attraction of flies but it is indeed the case for 
a number of mushrooms.

The fly is intriguing. My guess is the flies are attracted by the
fungus to distribute spores. No idea, I have to do some googling.

I gree, that's a very fun photo.  I don't normally go for star trace photos, 
but this one works very well.

Wow. So much praise. I must post her more often! :)

Thanks.

I'm also impressed by how many of you read our trip blog. (you're
right, Marnie, Steph's writing is the best part of it).

For those of you who haven't seen it, my girlfriend and I have been
driving a VW van down from San Francisco to South America. We are in
Argentina now, after fifteen months on the road. We post impressions
and stuff to http://www.vanenvan.com

Thanks again for all the comments!

Cool shot. Really like it.

Also, to let  you know, I've been enjoying vanenvan.com quite a bit. 
Especially Steph's  articles. Well, uh, the photography is good too, of course. 
Heh.

PESO - Stars of the Pond

[George Sinos]

This is an old photo that's been sitting around waiting for technology
that could clean it up.

It was taken with an old Pentax point and shoot.  I forget the model
number, but I used to carry it around in the days before digital and
camera phones.

I scanned it a while back and the file has been sitting around waiting
for me to do something with it.  LR5 did a pretty good job of noise
reduction in the time I was willing to spend on it.  It'll probably
make a pretty nice small print.

Re: OT PESO: Stars & Moons

Brilliant. Like some others, I do find the crooked horizon a bit distracting, 
but that's a simple fix. Well done.

It did - but Ken and Tom beat me to it

Despite that - great shot.  I'm going to have to look into StarStax. 
I've been telling myself that I need to do some night sky photography
and it's about time I pulled the finger out (if this rain ever stops,
that is).

Thanks Tom.

I deliberately didn't correct the no horizontal horizon, because it's
something that Brian comments.

I left it skewif to annoy him :-)

Re: OT PESO: Stars & Moons

[David Savage]

Thanks Bob.

The shots are taken 1 after the other (using my timer cable release).
The shots are then layered in a program called Starstax (free to
download & available for PC, Mac & Linux) which combined the multiple
1 minute startrails into 1 long one.

This is a handy technique for cameras that get noisy at long
exposures, or cameras that have no bulb mode (P&S for example).

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks Dave.

The orb is created bye spinning some LED's on the end of a length of
wire. While spinning the LED's in a circle, you also walk around the
vertical centre of the "circle"

Image a hoola hoop balanced on its edge, & then turning it while it is upright.

Agreed - Straighten that horizon and you have a very nice UFO shot! It
makes sense that to travel at the speed of light they must be encased
within it.

Thanks

That was a last minute addition. At first, I thought the guy was too  
soft for this group. So there was no post processing.

I need to get Rush Limbaugh to explain why it is a good idea to waste  
energy illuminating bird butts. A few years ago he was railing  
against "dark sky nuts". I need to add some pictures of the  
'Baltimore Nebula' that dominates the eastern horizon.

PESO - Stars and Astronomers

[Beaker]

The Howard Astronomical League had an outing last Wednesday night.  
The first successful event in quite a while. We tried the previous  
Saturday. I got there just in time for a really hard downpour.   
Wednesday was really nice weather- warm, no dew, and no clouds. I got  
some pictures of stars, and astronomers.
Canon 10D, Tokina 12-24mm f4 lens wide open, exposures from 1/8 to 56  
sec, ISO 100 to 400.

Next time, I'll try making RAW, ISO 200 exposures, and bracket to  
find where the noise starts. Got to remember the Nikonos (sp?)  
"viewfinder" ( no optics, just a frame with a cold shoe I use for  
aiming with a pin hole lens.) The camera viewfinder is pretty much  
useless for stars. The Tokina lets me cheat- set the lens to infinity  
and let depth of field do its magic.

[The moon pictures were made last year]

Cheers
Mike

Very nice. The rocks and specular highlights present an interesting  
contrast.
