Nebulae and clouds (they're pretty much the same thing)

I finally finished that mosaic of the Rosette Nebula for my astronomy class. It isn't the whole nebula but it's all the images I could take before the project was due. (Click for bigger.)

I talked my professors into giving me ( read asked them for) some time on the telescope over the summer. I think I'm going to try a really huge mosaic of the nebulae in the Orion constellation. It'll be awesome if it happens.

Extra sweet, there was a contest for the best image, prize being that they print your image out all poster-sized. I won. "Easily." I get it tomorrow.

So last weekend, me and Justin went to his parents' house (like we're doing this weekend for Mother's Day). On the way there, I tried to take some pictures of the clouds since they were super awesome and fluffy but apparently shooting through car windows craps out image quality. Who would've guessed? *eyeroll* So I decided to try out some neat photoshop filters. What do you think?





Neat? Stupid? Your call.

现在我应该去复习中文要不然我明天考试考得很不好。再见。
