I was wondering if anyone else was into astronomy or photography.

I am, and if ya want to see some of the things I did you can check it out here http://flickr.com/photos/photoplague

I used to have interest in photography. I finished some of my photography courses and my grades are nice. ^^ Although after sometime I forgot how to focus again. XD

LOL! Stoopid digital camera's auto focus, it makes you forget about all those stuffs.

I love star gazing and though I love the sky in the morning, my personal fave is that reflected light when the night comes, the moonlight. ^^

I don't know much about constellations and I have a hard time finding some of them though I can always see the orion's belt.

Hope that made sense. XD

Hmph, stupid Invision Power Board doesn't say new post sometimes.

Anyways, Don't feel bad, I don't know many constellations either. I have a camera that I can set to Auto Focus, or manual focus. :D

You can actually see the orion nebula in the orion constellation if you have good enough eyes, or a pair of binoculars. You should try using a pair of binoculars to look up at stuff in the sky, you'd be surprised at what you can see.

I have on many occasions seen galaxies, nebulas, globular clusters, open clusters, moons of Jupiter and such :)

I'm actually "cloud" gazing nowadays. XD

Makes me light headed and it feels like I'm floating. ^^

As for photography, I like sceneries and stuffs. ^^

Man I love it when it feels like you can almost touch the moon. ^^
