The Question:
from Julian L.

Art thanks for visiting my site, youve got great photos here, I particular like the holy cow and the solar disc photo, just a question, how do you do those astrophotography shots? The sky seems so clear and those stars seems so close! |

on 10/11/2005 9:36:29 AM | | Julian, the technique of astrophotography
involves 200 pounds of gear and fifteen
years worth of experience and training.
The gear is a motorized mount that
follows the earth's rotation and must
be calibrated precisely. So it's a brute,
and takes a huge amount of hit and miss
work before it turns out okay. Exposures
of ten plus minutes are no picnic.
Again, I love your work!
Circular star trails are easier. Point
your camera at the North Star and expose
for one to three hours at about f/8.

Btw, Ive just noticed on my office computer and earlier on my home PC that your website is too wide (ie its more that 1024 pixels wide), thus I have to keep scrolling from left to right, as well as up and down. Although it didnt put me off it might put off future browers from your site. I believe most monitor are optimised for 1024 pixels across. I think you must have a 1200 rez screen. |

on 10/11/2005 11:14:22 PM | | Julian, all the photos are loaded at
about 700X460 pixels by the host.
They will look different on different
screens; works fine on my 17, 19 and 21
monitors. But I'll look into it. I
hate small pics that you can't see.
A little scrolling may be the price
I pay to be able to load large images.
I'm really not sure how it's handled
by Betterphoto.com, who runs this
domain.Art |

The problem isn't the images, it's that your pages are for a higher resolution so I have to scroll left and right (annoying). Instead of setting the page width or table width to 100%, try specifying a number of pixels (like 1000).
