Yes, that is an overlay of a bright, shiny, new penny.

He felt left out ...

Oh ... and Yes ... the penny is to scale, with respect to the snail.

amazing, love the macros and the border. what kind of lens?

 

[astrogazer]

Sigma 105mm macro ...

Thanx ... I like the border too, it kinda forces me into a consistency of image size, which I like.

Funny you should mention it, but yes. These weren't taken with the camera that made the macros above. I modified a web cam and created some simple software to take these images thru my telescope, a Meade 10" LX-200

Mars

Saturn

Great shots astrogazer....what light are you using with the Macro lens? Do you have a ring flash?

 

[Nikon_Guy]

Are you by chance bouncing light/flash off of a reflector placed above your tank?

Stunning work.

As always very impressive Astrogazer!

Thanks all for the compliments. I use a remote flash unit triggered by my on-camera flash
