Fall

Fall is here....winter on it's way!!

Mom's Uke

Here is the movie that goes along with the Picture below. Thought everyone would like to see it.

Cluster

The Hercules Cluster, took this two weeks ago just processed it.

Dumbell

Latest night photo. Dumbell Nebula. Looks very cold there.

This land is your land

Some people can sing just not sure who…...

Angry Birds

Must make you angry!

Sam the Captain

Sam was great fun….

Summer at Bretts

Rolling in the grass. What a fun Summer.

Jill and Camille

In the water park Spanish Fork

Family

Sombrero in the Rain! Who is that masked man?

Orion Revisited

Here is Orion after stacking 4 pictures and processing, not as much color but a lot more detail.

Adromeda Revisited

I have been playing with the stacking software and processes software. This looks better. Notice the second galaxy in the upper left. Much clearer and Adromeda is beautiful. Next time I want to get 20-30 pictures I can stack and not just 4.

Unknown Galaxy

When I took this picture the galaxy could not be seen but after I stack three pictures and processed it the galaxy showed up. A nice spiral....I should have written down the name...

Pleiades

Pleiades star cluster. Processed on left. I think I missed the center. The two blue stars are part of the cluster. There should be seven large stars, the center is lower. I can't see the stars in the view finder. Still learning.

Adromeda

Have to overexpose to see some of the detail. Notice that it nearly fills the lower half of the picture. the faint fringes are part of the galaxy.

The bright stars are in our galaxy. The fuzz is Andromeda.

Orion

Processed Orion

The gases are what suns are made of. This is where stars are born.

Andromeda

This is the raw unprocessed photo of the andromeda galaxy.

Orion Nebula Messier 42

It was cool and clear and 4:45 am today so I tried to take a few pictures. After a 30 second exposure the picture at right showed up on my camera. This is an uprocessed raw photo. I see what it looks like after stacking and processing. Just wanted to share.

September Moon

A Medalist!!

A Medalist!, Third place in her class!

I am really proud of Sherri, she stuck it out

Kept on running and finished great. I love her…..

Sherri picks up her pace at the end. A great run and a good finish!

Should be running but doing good, about 2/3 through the race.

Can you pick her out? Somewhere in the middle of the pack.

In the pack lining up…She is excited and nervous but ready….

With the Race just moments away the tension builds

Sherri is ready for the run of her life

A Little cool before the sun is up but she's ready!

Before the Race, Before the sun's up!!!

On your Mark

Get Set

Go….
