Some GSSP images (just astro and landscapes)

Since not everyone here is on the GSSP list, I'll post this here as
well. If you saw them there, there's nothing new here.

I finally had some time to undust some of the photos I took during GSSP.

I'm not done with all of them but it's a good amount to share them with
y'all (10 images). I haven't put the photos together in a
thumbnail/album fashion yet, so please bear with having to click on each
link - if you like. I'll try to describe them a bit. Most of these are
the mid-sized version. When I'm done building the album, it'll have
links to the large versions.

Mount Shasta at sunrise (not many of you saw this, huh? :-).

Venus Rising (Same as above - it pays to get up early... or go to bed
really late!)

Mount Shasta at sunset (now, all of you saw this! :-)

Large panorama that goes from Mt.Lassen (left) to Mt.Shasta (right). I
did a bit of HDR here, not too happy about the results but the panorama
is really cool (thanks MarkJ for the idea ;-)

Mount Shasta and a 1 day old moon - that was quite a sight!!

Milky Way and my scope (taken in two sets, one for the land features,
one for the sky).

Wide field of the North American/etc. area:

Think that was wide? Same area, and then a lot more (NGC7000 is on the
bottom left). The dome at the bottom is the scope where the camera was
piggybacking. .. Duh!!!:

The Milky Way we all know and love, around 3am on the last night:

Abd last, from M27 to NGC 6820. Not too thrilled about this one. I
probably need to do re-do the RGBs, I must have done something wrong here.

Anyway, when I'm done with all the material I'll put it all in an easy
to browse album format and send up the link, also including some more
casual photography. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
