In all three of these images, the nebulous object has about the same size and amorphous shape, with a dark area in the middle--- I would question whether there was some condensation or fogging on your new eyepiece.

You certainly got a lot of views, but not many comments :-) Was this a stationary object, i.e. did it remain in the same spot when you moved the telescope. I ask for it looks as if it might be in the scope itself. Did you go to this location to see if there would be something there that would explain what you saw? I think you'd get a better response if you had provided more details about what you were trying to show (as suggested by Wayne as well...)

Hi Wayne,
This image I suppose is not 'true' photography. I did not have to use my imagination or my knowledge of photogrpahy. I suppose another category I could have posted this image in would have been photo journalism. The way this image was captured...Using a Nexstar Telescope with an electronic eyepiece placed on the telescope and then they eyepiece was hooked into a video camera. This image showed up on the LCD screen of the video camera. The telescope was focused several miles away from our home. There is a lake between our home and where the telescope was focused. I also looked into the telescope itself to see what was going on at the time. In the eyepiece of the telescope all that was showing was a bunch of trees and in the middle of the trees was just a dark area. That was all I could see through the telescope but the 'form' in the image was showing up on the video camera LCD screen. I titled the picture "Believe it or Not" because most people scoff at these kind of images and I was quite stunned myself when I saw it.
Anyway, this image I posted to share not because of any talent or creative thinking or master minded abilities or knowledge. Just an image to share. I do feel it would be a great photo journalist item?

First, thankyou for looking at my portfolio on usefilm.
I took the opportunity of having a look at your portfolio too, quite a diverse set of images, totally unlike this one.
I'm still trying to get my head around these 3 shots of yours.
I gather this is some sort of atmospheric effect photographed through a telescope ?
Is it vapour hanging just above the ground, if so I've seen that effect myself (fleetingly).
I find it difficult to establish the context of this shot given that it seems to be taken fairly close and doesn't seem sharp anywhere.

Maybe this isn't the sight I should post such a picture? I just see this stuff on television all the time and people are skeptical as to the 'reality' of such an image. This is an actual photo. I realize more than likely the camera or telescope picked up on some sort of atmosphere in the area. Wayne, I just thought it was a cool picture and not to many people in their lifetimes are ever able to capture an image such as this one. Maybe I should have posted it under the project 'Decisive Moment'?

I'd be interested to know what you are trying to "say" with this image..., it certainly doesn't "speak for itself".
I can appreciate purely abstract images, but this doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities.
Give us a hint.
