Sometimes I get some pretty good astro shots. But then there are the other times... These are shots I took in the mid 70s out at Little Stonehenge near Grantsville. Does anyone remember Little Stonehenge? Care to guess what the problems were? http://planet.state.ut.us/temp/OOPS1.JPG http://planet.state.ut.us/temp/OOPS2.JPG Ok, now that I've fessed up, is anyone else willing to share some of their Oops Pix? Enjoy, Patrick :-)
What do you mean Patrick? Oops? These are great! I'm pretty impressed with shot of the Orion Nebula so close to the Full Moon no less ;) Orion must have been the 14th sign of the zodiac back when you took these. Dave P.S. Yes, I remember Little Stonehenge...the last time I was out there, a buddy's dog got skunked...poor Hey Duke. After that I was put off by news of the cult sacrifices there. No it wasn't my cult. db On Thursday, March 4, 2004, at 11:23 PM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:

Ah, the good old days. Of course I remember, you and I were observing partners in those days. You had your old C8 and I had my 8" Astrola. Great times, my old friend. Do you still have that electric bomber suit? How about the red Benz? For the young 'uns on the list, in those days gasoline was 59 cents a gallon, and diesel was 9 cents a gallon!

I thought you might remember.
Do you still have that electric bomber suit? Actually I have several. Want one? Now that I do most of my observing remotely I don't need the heated suits any more.
How about the red Benz? Funny you should mention that. I sent it off for a complete body rebuild a few months ago. I'm supposed to get it back later this month. They tell me it'll look like new.
Patrick p.s. No guesses on what I did wrong to get those pictures?

The moon & nebula is clearly a double exposure; any exposure short enough to capture the moon wouldn't even register the nebula. The other one has multiple possibilities, so I'll bite: How?

I agree on double-exposure for the first view. The second looks like negative film developed as positive, or vice versa. But they're interesting! -- Joe
Many got the double exposure right but no one guessed the other. The red background is what you get when you finish the exposure and then use a red flashlight to check the corrector plate for dew, only to find you had forgotten to close the shutter... Patrick Joe Bauman wrote:
