Skywatch Friday Wk 32 - (EST)

33 Categories: Skywatch Friday •August 8, 2008

NOTE! I had a little glitch over night, that while allowing you to see the main page, prevented
visitors to navigate to individual pages and to comment. It’s all good again! :)

The Eastern Standard Time Edition features another Sky Drama - this one reminds me a bit of
Dante’s Inferno! It’s stitched from 4 images.
More great Skywatcher contributions can be found over at Skywatch Friday’s HQ!

33 Nods! Why not add you two cents? to “ Skywatch Friday Wk 32 - (EST) ”

    Oooof…
    That is a real stunner…
    I’ve already given out two of my “Ten Points and a Gold Star” award this morning, but I’m giving you another.
    That’s a really fine photo!

    Best regards, Don.
