First go at "Astro Photography"! was created by Gareth_OFlaherty
I took this shot of the moon and Jupiter on 7 February at 18.20 from the front of my house in Newbridge. This was my first time at taking a photo of the night sky. I used an Olympus C8080 widezoom digital bridge compact.

Yep, mine is doing the same.

Oops...I'll have a look at what I've done. Where do I "store" the image to link to it?

Hi Gareth,

I can see the image fine.

It MAY be settings that the lads have that are causing it on their browsers, or the browser itself.

I'm using Firefox. I know Internet Explorer sometimes struggles with Joomla (What this site is built on).

As to where to store your pic. I store my pics on my own website and link to that.

Not an option for everyone.

But you might use an online image repository like Kodak etc.

Clear Skies,
Peter

Peter,

Thanks for that. I use FireFox too, so that could be it. I must look in to finding somewhere to store my pics online. Thanks again.

Gareth.
