Description
A brief and bright rainbow appeared after a late afternoon rainstorm This photograph was taken with a Canon 1Ds Mark III digital SLR using a 24mm lens at f/8 for a 1/120 second exposure. All photographs taken by James W. Young - W7FTT (unless otherwise noted) This page has links to astronomical photographs taken by the author, as well as fellow associates working at JPL's Table Mountain Observatory. All pictures have individual pages with full explanations of the photographic processes, as well as the particular circumstances surrounding the events shown. Nearly all pictures are in the public domain, and therefore may be used for non- commercial, non-profit personal use. Regardless, credit all use by displaying the full picture which includes the copyright owner and photographer on each picture. You may copy and then print for your own personal display, or to show printed copies at club/organizational meetings. Classroom use is encouraged, and may be distributed to students and/or used in classroom projects. However, none of the pictures may be used for any form of Web Page enhancement or backgrounds without the written permission from W7FTT, but, permission is granted to link to this page from your own. Many of the color planetary images shown here were some of the best taken, starting in the 1960's, as Table Mountain and other facilities attempted color imaging for the first time in astronomical history. This photo gallery collection of interesting and unusual photographs serves more as an historical album of JPL's Table Mountain. During these early years, no one could have visualized what CCD's, as well as the Hubble Space Telescope, can now image in such detail, and with extremely short integrations (exposure times).
