Comments on: Summer interlude http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2005/06/30/summer-interlude/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

My dad just bought a new one, and it can take really high resolution pictures. The only bad thing about digitals (at least the ones I have seen) is that they limit the max exposure time in order to keep the file size down. Dad's old camara had an 8 second limit, which isn't quite good enough IMO. Plus of course it didn't seem to capture as much light as a CCD *eyeroll*. You can take some really great moon shots with it though. Some of those new camaras are great aren’t they! My dad just bought a new one, and it can take really high resolution pictures.

I do have a sun drawn on the chalkboard in front of me. It just isn't the same. Anyway, I look forward to your "Deep Impact" post. I hope it all works out well. Great Pictures!
