Mike,
Your first email (below) came thru with your text immediately following mine,
and the two links were ok. The jpeg image opened immediately and the .avi file
went to my downloads and then played normally. Your second email was the same
but without my original text. Great images by the way. Was that a pretty long
focal length? And I like that little blue nebula. Oops, it must be the "ghost
of Venus" hiding on the opposite side of the frame!
Paul

Has anyone been following Venus as it approaches the Pleiades?. My programI've set my camera on a tripod out behind my house the past two nights.
shows that tonight it will be close to Alcyone, the brightest of the
Pleiades, and will be 7 magnitudes brighter. That's 2.5^7 or about 600 times
brighter. Does that sound right?
