Question

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.

            With three forum moderators in this thread, perhaps one of us should have edited the subject line with an [Off Topic] addition.   But getting back to the important things, i.e. ridiculously bright flash lights, I was thinking that my Energizer Hardcase Spotlight was already over the top, and that only has 500 lumens.

            Does the Nitecore MH 20 have an adjustable beam angle?  There are going to be times when heating up a six inch diameter circle on the ground in front of you, is going to be of limited use...    If you know what I mean


            Trevor, how did you know I've been running around with my MH 20 torch, burning trenches in the neighborhood?

            Gene, I had though of moving there, but that forum is pretty much dead. Not sure if this is Photoshop related enough to stay here though
