Is the 130EQ a computer driven scope?  If not, you will get star trails on the long exposures.

Could the boat ghosting be due to the 30 second exposure?  I know it looks like a calm lake, but anything floating, no matter how calm, is always moving. Great picture though!

I got back last week from Rocky Mountain National Park and was NOT disappointed.  My newly purchased (used from KEH) 18-140 worked out fantastically (if there is such a word).  Never did I say "I ...

I would also check with APS (Authorized Photo Service) and get a quote just to compare with PhotoTech.  Everyone raves about APS. http://www.nikoncamerarepair.com/

What version firmware?  Nikon updated my firmware when I sent it in last year for a final warranty checkup and my battery life is  much much better.  I accidentally left it on for a few days the ...

Wow! Just wow! I finally got a chance to install and use it. It is such a simple program but SO useful. Instead of my original post of using this type of software to figure where I shoot most to ...

Get the blue one!  ;)

No kidding!  Great for indoor sports!

You don't see that bird on the 5th cable?  :D

Yeah, what Chuck said.  The VR mechanism/system is on it's way out.

Absolutely!  And thank you for sharing your experience and results.  There are many ways of cleaning a sensor.  Personally I use the Eclipse and PEC pads but every time I do it, it's a hassle.  ...

Thanks for the suggestion.  Wow, they still around?  I was using Qimage in the days of the Coolpix 950.  Once I went to the D70 somehow I stopped using it, for no good reason.  I remember it being ...

Hi Gesture, Worked out perfectly!  I didn't even bother to "edge it" so I can salavage the end piece of the 13x19 for other print jobs.  The 11x14'ish print was right on the center and since I'm be ...

That's specifically for the 800mm f/5.6 E lens and no other.  I hightly doubt it addresses all lens with electromagnetic diaphragms.

I have not heard of that.  D300 or D300S?  Can you post a link?

Sometimes with the price differential and you do the math, it might be a few dollars cheaper if you get the lens without the caps and then buy the caps used in the same order.  :)

If it's a credit card purchase check with the issuer.  Many have price protection that most consumers aren't aware about and don't take advantage of the benefit.

UPDATE: check out the newly announced Coolpix P1000 with a 3000mm optical zoom. That might be tyoe of camera for you.

LOL!!!!  I'm laughing as your reply makes TOTAL sense and I was over thinking it, making it more complicated as you say. One last thought.  If I change the Canvas Size to match the 13x19 paper and ...

Using Canon Pro-100 but I think this is irrelevant. My options to print are PhotoShop Elements, Canon Easy-Photo Print EX and default "right click print" in Windows 7. I have a bunch of prints that ...
