stars in the sky
Q: What's wrong with this image?
A: This image clearly shows the moon, a laser beam, and a photon torpedo about to hit the observatory.
Ok, well I just made up the laser beam and photon torpedo, but the moon is definitely a problem. Because the cameras are so sensitive, when the moon rises it actually blinds them-somewhat akin to a person looking at the sun.
Q: Are there any cool CONCAM images around to see and discuss?
A: No. The Night Sky Live project is inherently boring.
Well, perhaps there are a few images that are sort-of cool.
