Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station  This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA Read More Planned books:None Current books:

Welcome to The Hive! Kool-Aid is on the left…cherry today.
I got my MacBook Pro because after years of fighting XP to get it where I wanted it, I wasn’t going to start all over again with Vista.
You know, I just replaced my little iBook with a $425 Compaq laptop running Vista, though I also have 2 iMac Intel that I love.
But the cheap Compaq does what I need, and as long as I use Firefox and other non-MS products it has run about a month without blowing up. ‘course I don’t do much number crunchy stuff or fancy art work…though I was surprised that it load up an old Corel Draw/PhotoPaint program and runs it just fine. And the wide screen is nice for movies. And the price was very right.
