You make it sound like you have an imaginary one. Have you got your 2 hands up to your head while saying "Cheese, CLICK"?

:lol2: no, I have a cell phone camera but yeah we all know how crappy those are for any dark pics. My real camera is a Canon digital rebel XT DSLR.

[SparkyJJO]

Here, not my pic (duh) but someone else's that he took this evening. Better than I could have done with my camera, I don't have a long enough zoom lens for that.

Wow, what camera did he use?

That picture is definitely better than the one I took: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2786405&postcount=7

My father smoked for 40 years and he's just fine at 57(almost 58).

You'll do just fine.

[[XC] Hicks121]

Ok, so I took some pics with the camera last night & they suck!!! But I did get some awsome video of it. Just have no idea how to edit it & get it on my computer..:rolleyes: I will see if I can figure it out tonight.

[phelan1777]

Decent pic and supposedly you could see Saturn last night as well, it was snowing here :-(

[123bob]

Thanks for the heads up Hicks! We saw it fine out here in Oregon. Beautiful...It was visible even before the sun went totally down. A clear sky is very unusual for the Pac NW in winter. :up:

The last good one I saw was the hale-bop comet with a full lunar eclipse on the opposite side of the sky. That was '96 or '97 I think....quite a night. :clap:

....Then of course, those heaven's gate knuckleheads decided the end of the world was upon them....:down:
