In putting this web site together, the one
thing most interesting to me was seeing my skills in digital
astrophotography develop over time. From the very first grainy shots
of NGC 4565 in 2003 to the latest images, the learning curve is
clearly demonstrated through quality of the images I've produced so
far.
To view the images on this web site, the grayscale below should
be neutral gray with all shades clearly visible. If you cannot
see some of the darker or lighter shades, your monitor probably
needs calibration or adjustment. Adjust the brightness and
contrast of your monitor until you see all of the grayscale
shades.
