Technical Info

All pictures were taken using a Swarovski 80 HD scope fitted with a 20-60 eyepiece, on a Manfrotto tripod, and a Nikon Coolpix 4500. Camera settings were apperture priority, ISO 100, macro mode, area mode auto focus and the highest shutter speed available.

All pictures have been processed through Photoshop 7 (minor cropping, slight adjustment to 'levels' to remove unused pixels, slight adjustment to contrast & brightness and finally use of the 'Unsharp Mask' feature). Further tweaking, to reduce file size, was done by the Club's webmaster.
