Thank you Stan. The Kodachrom 25 didn't hurt either. ;)
For your own interest, I went to the Green Mountain Lookout just north of Christmas Valley.
The fella (Bill Friday) who mans the lookout does pen and ink drawings and cartoon work. He had pen and ink drawings of fire lookouts hung all around his lookout.
I told him about this image of The Dutchman and he said he had never seen a lookout with three legs. I told him I would send him a print of this.
Bill said great, and that he would draw it and send me the original. How cool was that?
Long story short .....years later, I was looking at fire lookout sites in Oregon and came across his lookout information at Green Mountain.
http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Jungle/5057/or3.html
His Lookout information above, has a link to a few of his drawings............ and he had included the Dutchman drawing that he made for me. That really made my day.
He made the sky a stormy one because the star trails did not work well with pen and ink.

Thank you, i amjad. I put the flash inside a yellow plastic flash light housing to diffuse the flash. I hit the flash 3 or 4 times and hoped it would help. I got lucky with this idea also.

Thank you Maja. No such luck. It was February and there should have been some snow at this elevation. I was so happy to even be able to drive to this location.
It was foggy here for the meteor shower this summer. ......ahh, there's always next year. ;)

Great POV and great info to go with the image. Hard to be disapointed about the lens with this clarity of the image for such a long exposure. great guess on the exposure.
Be well, Stan

If you took this photo between 10 and 12 of August maybe you manage to capture the Saint Lawrence’s tears!!

It may caused of 16 minute exposuring on bright Antares... I think it's not odd.
but it may has other reasons. you told me about fag... it could do it in this shape...
I DON'T KNOW!!!

Thank you Saad. This was a strange idea I had one night. I wondered what would happen by pointing the camera straight up and shooting a 2 minute long exposure every 30 degrees or so on my camera tripod. It turned out kind of fun.

Lets just say I might have "Fujichromed" the image excessively. It was taken in April 1988, so the alder trees had new leaves. The air had haze and I was trying to eliminate the haze by adding color... too many frustrating tries and this is where I stopped. Image is soft also. Maybe my old tripod, the Kiron lens or simply a heavy trigger finger?
You can see here why I added some color. This is unedited.

Thank you Eb. I took a new photo from the same location last weekend with the same lens to compare the erosion over time. I believe with 400 speed film.
This is an old image, as are most of mine here. The new one at this location will show these three trees are gone now... time has taken it's toll.

Thank you Sajjad for the info. I looked up the wrong telescope and saw a refractor.
I don't know why Antares looks so large in my image. It is only a 300mm lens. Oh well, I am quite happy with this one.

It's right but my telescope is a reflector not a refractor...(6" newtone) here we have no fog but we have much light pollution so in cities we don't have sky certainly.
Be in touch...

I have seen your new photos and wow, if I saw it correctly you have one heck of a nice telescope lens. A refractor?
Oh, I would just die for such a high quality scope. I am impressed.
We have fog here way too often, but that makes the night sky so special when it is clear.
Obviously I have done well with my camera lenses for these photos, but with a true telescope and the same conditions............ oh, who knows?
Thank you Saad, I appreciate your comment.
After seeing your recent astro images I will add a playfull one in your honor.
Check it out. ;)

Thank you Saad, I appreciate your comments as always.
Correct me tho if you see room for improvement.................. I know this one was pretty darn good for what it is. ;)
............But on my other stuff, feel free to make your true feelings.
I do not mind critique at all. Critique from others removes my personal memories of the photograph and the emotional experience and replaces it with reality.

Astronomic imaging must be quite the challenge, Randy! My compliments to you! Here in the Fraser Valley it is far too hazy to even attempt!
