    CURIOSITY Rover

    Curiosity is scheduled to land on Mars this August 5, 2012. The JPL link in order to watch the event is... http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/ -Fred
  4. This image really does an excellent job of conveying the "spirit" of the event. It certainly shows a lot going on. Thanks for sharing. Well done. -Fred
  5. Hi Stathis, Very nice work. I especially like the long string of geo-stationary stellites at 1:20-1:34. Impressive. -Fred
  6. Thie image captures the essence of the event very well. I feel like I am there. I noticed on the two foreground tables that the laptops are encased in what looks like small tents. Are these units available on the market or are they an item that has been modified to fit the need? Out of curiosity, the bright stars display six spikes. I gather that they are artifacts generated by your optical system. -Fred
  7. Wow! Can't we do this more often? Looks like a great event, I was there in spirit. -Fred

    Μ33 - Πάρνωνας 2012

    This image of M33 gives me an idea of the vastness of space. In the foreground we have a curtain of stars, while lurking in the depths of space is the galaxy, rotating ever so slowly. Your other images are nice too. -Fred

    Hi, FYI (For Your Information), three filters are still available. Thanks, -Fred Γεια σου, FYI (Για την πληροφόρηση σας), τρία φίλτρα είναι ακόμα διαθέσιμα. ευχαριστώ, -Φρεντ
  10. Hi Makis, Thanks for posting the photos. I can only imagine that everyone indeed had a wonderful time at the event. I briefly spoke with Andreas Papalambrou and he informed me that is was a sold out event. That is great. I hope that I will have a way to get to the next event with my scope. -Fred
  11. YEAH!!! Photos from the event. Send more for "Hungry Eyes". Have FUN. -Fred
  12. Hi Everybody, In my humble opinion "GO" to the event if you can. Seeing all of the different systems that people have, feeling the enthusiasm that everyone has, making new friends and observing new objects - all priceless. No, but wait, there's more -the dark night sky with "Billions" of objects yearning to be looked at. Have FUN!!! -Fred

    Business Card

    From the album: Personal Gallery Of Fred Ley

    Steve Kufeld, the inventor of the Telrad, gave me this business card at one of the RTMC's that I attended. What is interesting is that the card is made opaque plastic and can be used by placing it on the pages of the Tirion Sky Atlas 2000.0 Deluxe Edition to see the view that you would see in the Telrad.
