Any Astronomers out there ???
« on: August 06, 2010, 05:44:53 PM »
This photo was taken from the top of the Lomond Hills In Fife Scotland on Thursday night at 12:15pm by my Father.     ( he is a keen Photographer )

It is a photo of a star that was roughly in the Eastern Sky. And when he tried to view it on Photo Shop elements 8 today it looked a little wierd to him not like what it did with the naked eye. So i did a bit of investigation and zoomed in whilst enhancing the photo at various stages. Now this is as far as i can zoom in and it doesnt look like a star anymore. So if you are - say an or know an astronomers or Intrested in astronomy as a hobby please can you help with this it's mind boggeling   :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:

Here is the picture :)

looks like the camera moved a little while taking the picture. with high exposure (needed for night time photography) the slightest movement will mess up the picture. even wind can do this.

HMM the wind maybe but the camera was on a tripod and the tripod has spikes as well as flat feet for stability. And a remote switch was used. As for the wind i wasn't there and my fathers is ZZZZZZZZZZZZing at the moment. So i don't know.

I was thinking that it was something to do with the Solar flare that happened. My dad thinks he has caught a sun going super nova as he is saying it was brighter than the north star :)

It must be, as the reduced performance of Russian craft at high alts have prevented the Kosmonaut program from advancing.
