I guess, in the end, everything is a matter of preference isnt. it.

In this case, as the title infers, I prefer it to resemble an Old Postcard.

Otherwise its just another photograph of another tourist trap.

Thanks, Bill

Thanks you for your comments Peter.

Kent,

Your right, the photo that you inserted above was not taken by you. I look forward to seeing your own astro photography?

That said, one of the main goals of this forum is to improve photography through constructive criticism based upon the reviewers personal, firsthand experience, not by making comparison vicariously through others. Posting comparative photos belonging to someone you dont even know and from a web site that posts pictures to sell telescopes serves no purpose and is rude.

This was an old note / poem left at the Royal Air force Memorial in

London. It is sitting beneath a vase of flowers that were left beside

a pilot's memorial.

Obviously this person's loved one never made it home. Although the

note is dated July 6, 1941 it was left at the memorial in recent

times.

Your thoughts, Bill

Josep, If you look on the Photo net home page you will see a photo by XC Coyote of star trails. The center of the photos shows the region of Polaris or the North Star. Notice how the lines are shorter as you get closer to Polaris and further away of course longer. That said my photo is not a composition and I took it all in one shot. I'm reasonably sure that the exposure time was at least 35 to 40 seconds. Ursa Major is reasonably close to the North Polar Region so there will be less movement say than in a constellation such as Gemini, which is further away.

Thanks,

Bill

I shot this through a 12" meade LX200 GPS using meade autostar suite. I will post some of jupiter

in the coming weeks, Thanks, Bill.
