What is this? The story behind this is just hilarious! I laughed out loud for a good while. Click here for more from Will Campbell* about what this is, and why it was not quite what he was expecting to get!

On this day on Asymptotia...
- World View - 2007
Ah, lovely. Makes my heart warm that does.
Astrophotography is not the easiest thing in the world, especially in the old days before GPS mounts, autoguiding, auto everything.
I probably have a pile of negatives somewhere that exhibit every fault known to astrophotographer-kind; apart from this new one !!! I guess it would be equivalent to an earthquake.
Reminds me of the time when I took some photos of an eclipse with a beautiful, Russian made, manual focus, SLR camera. No doubt the pictures would have been stunning, had I remembered to put some film in…
And it reminds me when I recently tried to take a picture of the ISS…
An ECG in the sky
I love it!
Who among us has NOT taken such a pic, mesmerized by the scene but forgetting that the camera does not have our mental capacity for wonderment!
