Try On 450mm For Size

        Even though I’m eventually going to spring for a 75X telescope lens, I have to pass the time in that interim somehow, so my 300mm (450mm equivalent with my Nikon DX D5000 camera) will have to do. I missed out on the Mars photo-op last week, but whatever the cosmos hold in store for the future will be captured by me, a telescope and my camera.

Flag De La Luna

        I was fortunate enough to be part of the pre-landing party back in 1969. We all drove out to a remote part of Texas teleported to The Sea Of Tranquility, on the lunar surface a few hours before the those arrogant, rock star astronauts arrived. After spending the afternoon watching them play golf and fumble around, while being recorded at 220 frames per second, I realized that I needed something a little more real than lunar exploration to satisfy my photographic needs.
