Happy New Year, everybody!

I actually use paint.net all the time to resize the images before I upload them. I use the GIMP as well. I like the GIMP as it's very similar to photoshop.

Don't know why I've never done that before. I guess I feel like it's cheating a bit? But, then if I'm only making the image look more natural...? Hmmmm...

Nah, it's probably just 'cos I'm lazy! ;D

I'll do that in future when I think the image is a bit wrong. Thanks, SMM! 8)

I still need an SLR for my (very amateur) astro photography. You can get an attachment for SLR cameras that fits to a telescope, basically turning it into your lens.

The aperture size on the phone camera is just too small to get an image through the telescope. It's a horrible feeling when you get a good image in your telescope, and you can't even capture it!

Enjoy your new years day, folks.
