Re: Astronomy Pinhole Picture of the Day
Careful on the scanning - each pass through the scanner does tend to fog the negative a bit. Also, if you set the scanner at a high enough resolution that your scanner pauses partway through the scan, you'll likely see a fogged "step" in the scan from there on. I've been using paper negatives of about 5x7 inches, and then scanning at 24 bits, 600 dpi. For my particular scanner, if I scan higher than that, the scanner pauses and the final scan shows a distinct break between the two parts of the scan. I have six cameras planted until June 21st, soaking up the rays. Run stuff. Here are some scans from last year, but they are mixed in with overnight pinhole photos of the moon: http://greggkemp.com/simpleviewer/lunar-solar/ images # 8 - 12 are pinhole solargraphs.
