I concur Revloren, after seeing the beautiful grouping in two evenings, I was expecting to see a picture for keepers; something to set as a wallpaper.

Re: APOD: Blue Tears and the Milky Way (2015 Apr 24)
A good composition, but the processing and blending of foreground and sky looks like a bit overcooked.

Re: Submissions: 2014 March

In a possible alternating or mouse-over pop-up setting, it is really interesting to see the nebulae jump into view. The foreground will also be seen moving in the minutes passing between shooting ...

Actually, if the meteor trains are farther than 90 degrees away from the radiant, they will be closer to the anti-radiant and they will look like converging.

Re: APOD: Equinox: The Sun from Solstice to... (2012 Sep 23)
Why do the suns in the Solstice bands appear pinker than the ones in the Equinox band? Actually the Sun images in Equinox band are bluer than normal, as the sky on that day was hazy and there were passing high clouds from time to time. Interesting format. Bursa is 40deg N. It would be interesting t...

Poll: Astronomy Picture of the Week for 2011 October 9-15
Is the Saturn APOD a rerun? Because it cannot be chosen in the polls. My other vote would go to either IC1795 or NGC4565.
