David Malin back to top http://www.aao.gov.au/images/
(on the site of the Anglo-AustralianObservatory:)
Home of the "grand master of astro photography", Mr. David Malin. If you ever see a *really impressive* photo of a nebula or galaxy, and it's not from Hubble, you can almost bet it's a David Malin work of art. (Btw. in the TV series Star Trek Voyager, all those nice astro pics in the labs are really Malin photos ;-) Here is a direct link to the icon preview on Mr. Malin's page.

indoor de back to top http://www.indoor-kiting.de
