Dear Friends,

Please accept my sincerest wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a most productive 2006 under clear and dark skies!

Anthony.

Stunning Picture Anthony! That would compliment your analemna (is that how its spelled?) regards capturing the sun's position! Well Done, and rightly deserved in such a placing!

Nobel prize indeed

I know strictly speaking it's a little dishonest, but would you consider blending the three images together in Photoshop? Would make a lovely panorama.

Nobel prize indeed

Dave,

I think I may have been inadvertently ambiguous with my earlier message. I consider any work appearing on APOD as the ultimate reward and, hence, for my equating it with the "Nobel Prize" of astrophotography. The way I expressed myself in the earlier message could very easily be misread inadvertently due to the fact I used "it" instead of "APOD" ("I personally consider it the "Nobel Prize" of astrophotography").

I know strictly speaking it's a little dishonest, but would you consider blending the three images together in Photoshop? Would make a lovely panorama.

In fact we are on the same wavelength since I would like to extend this series with my sunset series (solstices and equinox) so as to have a true panorama as you describe.

Anthony.
