Been doing a lot of astrophotography in the past year or so. I'm mostly into lunar stuff, since that's what my telescope is optimized for, but sometimes I take photos of other objects for a change. My pics are quite popular on the web, often getting tens to hundreds of thousands of views. dt members liked them a lot when I showed some in private forums a while ago, so check 'em out
Click on any photo for larger version.

Full Moon. Taken with a set of special filters which make it possible to see the differences in chemical composition of the lunar soil. Brown areas are rich in iron, blue areas are rich in titanium.


Copernicus and surroundings. One of the most spectacular craters on the Moon, with a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers. This photo is pushing the limits of my telescope, you can see features as small as 500 meters across on the lunar surface.


Crescent Moon and Venus. At the time this photo was taken, the planet Venus was approximately 150 times further away from Earth than our satellite.


Total lunar eclipse. This event happened on the night between 27th and 28th September last year and was visible in most of Europe and the Americas. The Moon changes color due to the scattered light in our atmosphere.


Messier 51. A relatively nearby galaxy (28 million light years away) with very prominent spiral arms.


Star trails. This photo took six hours to create. Due to Earth's rotation, stars appear to move in circles. When the camera is pointed at a fixed point for a long time, it's possible to capture the motion of the objects in the sky. Taken in the Teide Observatory on Tenerife, Canary Islands.

He seems to play funners against random players and reports against random opponents (like, people who registered their account many years ago and haven't visited tus since).

MI, there should be something done about that. I don't think he is yet ready to play leagues.

I don't like this. This was supposed to be a 1v1 match.
I'd rather like play against one player instead of a pair discussing strategy with a pinned chat.
The game was close enough for any unfair advantage like this having a chance to be crucial.
