  1. Right-click on the file ... click on the "Open image in - "Paint" option When open in Paint select "Resize" at top left ... Select "Pixels" ... change the size in the boxes shown . Then "Save As" whatever you wish to call the new version. Saving as a PNG file should prevent any nasty JPEG compression artifacts .
  2. Not many wearing 'hats' like that though ...
  3. "The King and Queen" just round the corner from the 100 Club ...
  4. A few more odds and sods ... Sunrise behind the "Ship of the Fens". M31 , Andromeda Galaxy. Glider mayhem. A nice little commission. Saturn. Cocoon Nebula. Horsehead and Flame. Toys.
  5. Just a 75-300mm lens and a steady hand ...
  6. A few from Little Gransden in August , first time two Lancasters have been in the air together for over 50 years ...
  7. Probably easier to see in this animation I knocked up last year , a complete years worth of data to show the progression of sunspots as they travel across the rotating sun .... Posting the 'noisy' version as it's got a rather decent backing track ...
  8. Hi Russell, Astronomy/Astrophotography in general , but sitting out in the sun is a whole lot more comfortable than being out in the cold at 3am ... All-niters for me these days tend to mean a 6 hour session under the stars ... All shot with a Canon 1000D through a Tal 100RS telescope and 1.4x Barlow lens giving a focal length of 1400mm , with Baader ND3.8 Solar Imaging film and an OIII filter. Started shooting the Sun in earnest a couple of years ago as a counter to the cloudy nights at the time , it soon became a bit of an obsession and I strove to get a shot every day if possible , 2014 saw me bag 309 days from 365 , not a target I'm likely to top so a more relaxed approach this year ... My Solar Imaging gallery is found here if anyone's interested ... http://www.astrobin.com/users/steveward53/
  9. Following Martyn's theme ... Another daylight Moon ... Better timed airliner ... more luck than judgement ... A week's worth of the biggest sunspot group for 20 odd years ... And a close-up of said group ... Click on thumbnails for a full size image ...
