Who's star gazing tonight? [OT]

It's been busy lately. But tonight I'm out in the lawn, sitting in a chair, my feet up on a table, gazing at the stars out over the young corn fields of Iowa...thinking what a touch of Photoshop might look like...and enjoying the beautiful weather tonight.

Hey, just saw a meteor, too. Nice.

    Not OT at all. exactly the kind of Forum Lounge discussion we should be promoting.

    Thanks, Jerry. Figured I'd move it here in honor of the update to Forum Lounge.

    Oh yes, here's the final image I put together:

    I would join you Benjamin, but it is daylight here, damn cold outside, and there is half a planet between me and the sky you are looking at.  Do you know that Noel Carboni is a serious astronomy geek?  His Pro Digital Software company has a few astronomy related titles.  In fact, I think he has bought his prices down.  $22 for his Astronomy Tools is a steal.

    I hope he doesn't read this, but I always think his website lacks the sort of bells and whistles the Photoshop forums #1 poster ought to have — especially so considering what he does for a living.

    Well, that might be a small problem there, Trevor! Just so you don't miss out on the view, here's a quick two shot image I threw together in camera.

    The full moon is just poping up over the horizon now, but a bit late here for more pictures

    Yes, I've been to Noel's site a time or two. Looks like some very neat stuff there I'd love to try out, haven't gotten around to that yet.

    Spooky looking crops Benjamin.  You just be careful out there!
