• I’ve added the dual and triple screen versions of both “Sisters” to the gallery this morning. I’m thinking I might try to use this one as a sky element in a landscape so don’t be surprised if you see a view of this constellation “from the ground” in a future project.

• I was busy working on a new landscape last week but a late night visit to my telescope (along with some great seeing) inspired me to switch gears and do a “Planetscape” instead. The result, “Sisters”, is now up on the new images page.

  Astronomy buffs may recognize that it is loosely based on the Pleiades with some of my own touches. Hence the name. I hope you enjoy it!

• Happy Thanksgiving to you one and all! I’ve had my share of difficulties over the past couple of years but I feel they are coming to an end now and I have quite a lot to be thankful for besides! I am grateful for my wonderful family, good friends, and a job that allows me to do what I love while also making others happy. What more could a guy ask for?

• I’m up to my elbows in Vue 8 and hope to have a new wallpaper up later this week but I wanted to take time mention a policy change.

  From here on out the renewal price for current members will be $12 (down from the original $15). The 2 and 3 year renewal rates have gone down accordingly.

  It has long been my policy to allow expired Members to renew at the $15 rate and this will not change. The $15 yearly renewal rate will remain an option for expired Members, but Members who choose to stay current will get an even better rate.

  Feel free to post in the comments thread below if you have any questions or comments.
