These were taken in the Black Rock Desert Nevada. My buddy took them. He used a 28mm wide angle lens, with the camera mounted ontop of his telescope. Exposures range from 3-5 minutes (ish)

These are pictures of the Milky Way...centered on the constellation Sagitarius. These are some of the best shots I have ever seen of this region of the sky taken by an amatuer astronomer.

There was no color correction done with these photos...I just scanned them straight in from the 4x6 photographs.

You can see the hill in the lower portion....the clouds look cool too. You can see the city lights in the far bottom.

"How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care -
That you care?
When every time I look around,
The people suffer in the suffering
In everyway, in everywhere.
We're the survivors."

	And what of our enemies? We give them nothing, but take from them everything! We show no mercy and take no prisoners. This is where WE fight...and this is where THEY die!

Those are some very nice pics. Found an interesting program for you would be Astonomers.

www.shatters.net/celestia/

Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.

;D ;D

You need a good 3D video card!
