Starship Asterisk*

That is a cool Image! Well Done!

Ouch! better bring lots of motion sickness pills for that ride. I 'll take the slow boat!

That is a beautiful shot! crisp details, nice color in the galaxies and the stars! congrats Bob!

That is pretty intense!!

Sweet! wonder what scope they used?

Congratulations Larry! great work on the bubble!

What a beautiful spiral! When I first looked at the photo I thought that the star in the foreground was a star in our own galaxy. Upon reading the explanation I see that it was a supernova just outside the spiral. 8-) 8-) 8-) That's not correct, Orin. The galaxy is a so called lenticular galaxy of ...

This is a fantastic Image. Really nice star color. Well Done!

I wish to offer my deepest apology to Owlice, Bystander, Geckzilla, Jerry and Robert for my posting in the discussion of APOD October 3rd. I was fortunate enough to have a very nice conversation with our Administrator, Bystander A.K.A. Grumpy Old Man. He was kind enough to show me how misguided I wa...

Nice work, Those are some great shots!

zerro, you REALLY need to go back and read your post about how much it costs you to create the images. The entire point of your post was that because YOU spend money on YOUR hobby, APOD should NOT have had a QR Code as today's image -- an image by an amateur astrophotographer should have been selec...

That is absolutely NOT what I said!!! I said it's free to link and look at the pictures! It cost a lot of money to get involved in it! I made it very clear that we amatures do it because we love it. Nobody starts this path with the expectation of posting on here. Very few would even think it possib...

So you are saying APOD costs you money because you chose to do astrophotography? Rubbish! If you chose astrophotography on the remote chance your image would be selected as an APOD, you probably wasted your money. You may still yet get your image chosen as an APOD (good luck to you), but to imply t...

Thought I would check back and see what others had to say after my intitial post. All you people who support the decision to post a bar code... I like you to sit back and listen for a minute.. There is a whole slew of Amature Astro Photographers out there that submit images for consideration to the ...

This is by far the most insulting image you could have posted! With all of the amature astronmers who have taken the time to submit their images and you people choose this as an APOD....I'm through! Bye Bye!

Robert Farrimond, just a few hours ago I wrote in another forum here that IQ Aurigae is one of my absolutely favorite stars, and here you have photographed it! :D It's a star that is classified as an A-type star even though it is as hot and blue and almost as bright as a B4-type star. Appropriately...

I voted for the two Astro-Photo's because they are the only two TRUE Astronomy-Pictures.
