Lowell Observatory Shots

Hi all,

I've been able to make a couple of trips to Lowell Observatory and have
posted a few shots to my pBase gallery
http://www.pbase.com/craigbob/lowell_observatory . Let me know what you
think.

Here is one I took it is 16 minute iso 100 shot. Processed in RSE
Premium. If anyone knows how I can get rid of the lens flare I'd sure
appreciate knowing how.

Craig,

I loved the shot of Mars over Lowell's mausoleum!

......now if you had taken it on October 31st and gotten the ghost of
Robert Burnham Jr in there it would have been really cool!

Spooky shot of Mars over Lowell's tomb. I wonder what he would think
of all the Mars mania today. Two rovers, two orbitrers with a third on
the way, and hundreds of amateurs imaging Mars as never before...

Thanks, That is my 1st entry for Jim's contest. I won't be back out here
next week, so I decided to go up to Lowell again tonight. this time they
were showing Mars in the 24" Clark. Very cool, I tried to get a shot,
but I could not get focus with the 20d and the 24". Not enough in
focus. But if I could've gotten the shot I think that would have won
just for the coolness factor.

I wonder if Lowell had had the eyepeices that we use today available to
him if he would have seen his canals? I'm guessing not. the view through
the 24" with a 22mm Panoptic was very nice.
