yeah stone the doubters!

In fact if you did want to doctor something like that its pretty easy(like very easy) to get rid of all the lettering on a picture with a black background

maybe whaleboy was just winding you up?

If I started doing that sort of thing and got found out, I'd never be able to post on an Astro forum again. Imagers take a VERY dim view of people passing off other peoples images as their own!!

Thats a stamp that the hosting service I used to use put on it,

I thought it was a secret message in Rigellian.

Hey reds peace, I know you wouldn't do that kinda thing anyway, and if you did, you'd go to more of an effort. They're both beautiful pics you should be proud of, I think we all appreciate them .

Wow! You can actually see that?

Does anyone know this?

No worries mate, it's just if I did claim an image that wasn't mine I'd be ex-communicated from so many forums you wouldn't believe it!!!

And yes, I would have just cropped an extra 50 pixels off the bottom if I was trying to hide anything.....

You can't see as much as you can image on a camera, the eye is not was good with faint colours as camera. Plus the Ring Nebula picture is 30 second exposures that builds the image over time, the eye cannot do that, what you see at first is pretty much all you'll see with the eye.

The Saturn shot is different, Saturn is very bright and large through a telescope and you can see what is in the top picture with your eye, no problem.

Celestia pretty cool, loads of add-ons and massive area to play in.

Your the third person in this thread to want ask that, I suppose I should be flattered.

Thank you for the kind comment on my Ring, unfortuneatly it's a little under exposed.

My philosophy is 'post the witty comment first, read the thread afterwards before you lose the chance'. Alas most of the time, the chance has already passed
