COPYRIGHT NOTICE
Pictures Copyright
Also See Astro Picture Links
Pictures are copyright © by the author. However, these pictures may be reproduced for non-commercial usage providing credit is given to the author of each picture.

Featured Pictures: Send us your best "shots" and have your picture featured on the AAC home page. The AAC webmaster will select pictures of exceptional quality for posting on the AAC home page. The AAC will periodically change the featured picture as new pictures become available. (Only pictures by AAC members in good standing will be posted.)

Submission Guidelines: Club members wishing to submit photos for possible inclusion on the AAC's picture pages should send them to the AAC Webmaster either by S-mail (regular mail) or by E-mail. (Alternatively, pictures can be given to the Webmaster at AAC meetings.) Pictures submitted as prints or slides will be scanned for use on our web site and originals returned to the author at AAC meetings or mailed if a stamped, self-addressed envelope is provided.

Images should normally not exceed 640 pixels in width and 480 pixels high. (Typical maximum file sizes are about 100K for gif and 50K for jpg file formats.) If unsure what size to use, send them larger rather than smaller since we can always reduce them in size. You do not have to submit "thumbnails" of the images since we will make our own thumbnails from your full-size images.

E-Mail: webmaster@floridastars.org Pictures should be sent as attachments in gif or jpg formats.

Please include with each picture as much info as possible, such as:

  • Observer's Full Name
  • Location (e.g., Gainesville, Florida)
  • Date Taken (e.g., February 11, 1999)
  • Time Taken (e.g., 11:00 p.m. EST or give in UT)
