Skychasers

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 5, 2007, 3:52 PM
Hi Friends!!
Hope you're all doing fine? Just a quick note to let you all know about a new club one of my DA friends has set up. :iconfoxmaq:It's called Skychasers and as you would imagine with this name, it focuses on all things up there :)

It's not just about astronomy and astrophotography, it's about all things in the sky, like weather, sunsets/rises, and clouds etc. too. So if you like the all things to do with the sky, maybe you'd like to check it out!!
Thanks

:iconskychasers:

Take care

I think it was funny as well, so no need to apologize. It was around seven in the evening here. It lasted a couple hours.
It was pretty lucky we saw it at all. It had been cloudy most of the day, but cleared up a few hours before this. I didn't even know it was going on till my step mom started yelling about it.

lol. I tried to take a picture of the eclipse last night with my super...not night time, digital camera..I managed a nice red dot in the middle of the immensly dark picture.

You ought to ship your camera over here, that way, I can get a better picture next time I actually try to get one. :rofl:
