I like it. Very smooth site design. Good non annoying interface. As for the pictures, I'm too tired to make comments now. They look pretty good at first glance. Possibly tomorrow.

That astrophotography shot is cool. How do you go about that kind of thing?

It's quite easy... All I did was use a 50mm prime lens and pointed it at the sky :) The lens was wide open in this case f2.5 and I took 5 15sec exposures at ISO 800. I then applied auto levels using photoshop to all 5 images. I then stacked the 5 images using registax. Registax is free and if you search google you can download it.

Might be a silly question, but why did you have to take 5 images and then stack them?

It brings out the detail in the image. As you can appreciate if you have a longer exposure the stars will stars to streak. So to overcome that you stack the images. 5 is a small number I have seen some with 15 or 25 images stacked.
