Actually, yes, it's mine. I just remembered they send them out a month ahead. Thanks!!

I don't know! What is it of?! I am expecting one to be used in the September edition, maybe they moved it forward?

Hello again to all my Greek friends. What a crazy way to meet all you lads again! Well, it's all over now and the dust has settled. Time to think back and really take in all that happened! What a trip! The highs and lows will keep us in story's for years. I have a few photos up on my website (some of you Greeks also!) http://www.frankryanjr.com/eclipse_2008.htm ''FETA!''

Excellent ! thank you for putting all this up. I will be buying one of these for sure.

Well, you only get one life, you gotta use it! I've a few other 'surfing' destinations in mind, thankfully these are 'two birds with one stone' destinations.

Hey George. Yes thanks it's a lot better now. Still a little swolen and bruised but it will be fine. I have to say I'm now addicted to traveling to other countries and it's going to be the start of a life long obsession to observe /photograph from as many of the good spots as I can. I'm seriously looking at the Atacama desert. A (no astronomical) friend was out there..... he's a lawyer! He was amazed with the skies. This is a place I must get to sometime!!!!

Vagelis. The Mt Parnon starparty may turn into an international event yet! The poster 'astrogaz' might be tempted! http://ukastroimaging.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=39654.0

Here is a panorama made up of of four 5min exposures stitched together in Canon 'Photostitch'. Taken at the EAE Mt Parnon starparty last week. It's my first attempt a such a panorama and the obvious mistake is that I didn't take enough shots to stitch (I reckon it should have been at least 8 to get a better join) Wish I could go out again tonight an try again!! Anyway, seeing as I forgot to pay the rent on my website the small version is up here on flikr (the large one is pretty cool ) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3018/2661578908_f25cc8325b_o.jpg

I guess that means either we are very scary, creeping around like the dead or we are as white as a ghost. Either way, both descriptions are probably quite accurate!

Sorry. My website seems to be squatted. I'll work on fixing it.

George! Good to talk to you again! Sorry if you felt I ignored you when I walked past that night. I kind of knew you said something to me but I was not sure. (Until you called out 'do you speak English!' )

Thanks! I said I'd post it up just for the laugh. At least I made an effort! We were all very ashamed that we knew very little Greek when speaking with all of you. Sometimes it's better to try first and make a mess of it! Kostas, As for the startrail shots. I think they are great. Yes, my friend Dave was also shoting startrails. I'll inform him of this thread so he can talk with you in person. I also shot a few startrails. This one is the most interesting. It shows part of the camp and also the movement of a curious astronomer walking up to the camera with a red light. He was worried that he ruined my shot, but I prefer these startrail shots with movement in the foreground also. The sky was moving and also the people under it. It's a true reflection of what was happening. http://www.frankryanjr.com/parnon_startrails_small_2.jpg
