Full Moon Fever!!

Everyone loves a full moon right? It's been used as an excuse to run wild and free for generations. Well, as a young and budding astrophotographer. Yes I said young! :-p I think the full moon sucks. Sucks big time! It's hard enough dealing with normal light pollution and trying to capture starlight. Now you throw that giant lamppost overhead all night long. You might as well forget about getting any good pictures till this eyesore goes away. So, here is my picture of that annoying ball of light.

oh my God — it's full of stars!

I suck as a photo blogger. :-p Sometimes (as in right now) I take too long in between posts. It's not that I'm not taking pictures. I'm just too lazy to process them. This is why I'll never bee able to do this for a living. At least that's what I keep telling myself. :-) Well here is what I have been working on lately. I have this mad urge to try my hand at Astrophotography. Why? Because it is almost 100% post-process work. It takes a good four hours to get everything setup and get the images you want. Then it might take another two hours to get the image processed. Why on God's Green Earth would I want to do this? Obviously, because I'm insane. Well I hope you are all able to visually enjoy my trip to the Funny Farm. :-)

This pic is of the Orion Nebula.

Here's a link to Wikipedia if you want to read up on it.
