Without a quote in your reply, I can't tell who this is directed at. If you are referring to my last photos, apologies although I have had a couple "likes" and comments under some of the pictures so I assume they are visible. I've never had issues on other sites. Another possibility is the fact that I'm new here and Amir told me sometimes if a new member posts several photos the site may see it as spam. It may need approval before the photos show up. Let me know please!!

Sorry about the comments above, All you pictures show to me as ‘ Not viewable in you region’. I am in the UK, so we have issues seeing certain hosting sites in a few parts of the world.
It is why I tend to imbed a photo rather than link to it, as I am sure some you would have the same issue if I linked to a UK site.

Darn it!
I apologize.

I'm unfortunately not overly technical and for all of my Website photo posting I use IMGUR. I've used it for years and I've had some folks in the UK on other websites comment on photos that I have posted.

I'll see if IMGUR has another option for posting.

I see an "Attach files" right at the bottom here that I didn't notice before. If I can do that it actually saves me a step.

Thanks for the response.

I attached the files. Hopefully this gives you a glimpse.

Imgur has withdrawn from the UK as it wouldn't comply with UK regulations. Consequently, anyone on here that links to images stored on Imgur won't be visible in the UK.

Thank you for the info.
I’ll definitely attach files per the bottom attachment tool.
The world doesn’t start and end here so I appreciate your input on the UK/IMGUR situation.

The file attachment option saves me more than a few steps.

Nice catch! Good pest control and a harmless critter. Bull snakes and Gopher snakes will sometimes beat the tips of their tails to mimic the sound of a rattle snake as a defense mechanism. A friend of mine had access to university land and he and I went out to take a count of the population and check the sexes of the bull snakes in the area. I've never run across one like you have in this picture. Good stuff, and thanks for sharing.

This is a photo I took a good few years ago of Mars through a Celestron 14” scope on an equatorial mount. From memory it was 30 photos of 2 sec exposure stacked and processed in Pixinsights. View attachment 540877

Nice! I've never been able to discern details on Mars visually through 4" telescopes, certainly nothing like Schiaparelli's canali.

Visually you can’t, unless you are Hubble.
That is why you (I) take many photos and stack them and process them in clever software. The Eye is a point in time device. Stacking 30 plus photos each of 2 seconds exposure gives so much extra data. But a decent equatorial mount is vital.
The processing can take an hour plus. But it’s just so satisfying when it starts to come together.

A lot of things to like in this image. The contrast is enjoyable and so is the sense of bad weather either coming or avoided. But I also like images with three horizontal bands of color like this. And I enjoy the coloring of the sand in the foreground.

It was after the storm, I liked the colors too, that's why I took the pictures.

Not a stunning image, although I do think the tree has a beautiful shape. My wife and I just married under this beautiful tree in Panama on May 27.

Way in the background you can see the line of freighters cuing up to enter the Panama Canal. It is surprisingly not an ugly sight.

While my wife was saying her vows to me a mid sized tarantula was walking across my head. Without missing a beat my wife slapped the spider off of my forehead. True story.

Not sure if the spider dropped on me from the tree or crawled up my pants.
