Hi Jiayuan,

You've added too much compression to the jpg image before uploading it. There is no need to resize you original picture, but just save it with about 90% jpg quality so that it is less than 150kb.

Just to show you it's possible, i've uploaded your photo into my album:

Cheers,
Chris

I see.

Try www.irfanview.com for a free program I use that does simple resizing. You can adjust the quality while saving also. Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi everyone,

The idea of this category is to showcase the interesting events and people in Singastro.
As such, I'm going to enter the following photographs for this category.
Note: some photos are not mine but entered on behalf of others.

"Astrobabe outing group photo" by Clifford
16/9/2006
A huge group of us went to Johor for stargazing at the invitation of Astrobabe. First time there have been so many kids at an overseas observation. We're grimacing at the bright flash as we were in the dark when this photo was taken.

Cheers,
Chris

Wow! Weehan, I really like you "Venus at Sunrise" shot! I'm sorry I missed it earlier.

Tachyon, Weehan, I've moved the sunrise shots to the "Naked Eye" category as that is where the scenery shots were supposed to go. Let me know if you have any objections.

Cheers,
Chris
