No -- please accept my apology. It was rude of me.

My only excuse is that I'm eager to see the images of Pluto as they come in -- it is very far away and to my knowledge no telescope has ever gotten more than a faint image of it.

At least we'll have some Jupiter pics to hold us over for a while.

Great tutorial, and I'm saving it - because I have a helluva time posting a clickable link....it took forever for me to get the pic posting thing down, but it's only caused me one suspension by JimRob.

Clarity is needed - you can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace to be transferrable to our posts.
