Yep, that LEGO catalog has come a loooong way from 1970 or so when I was an enthusiast... :)
Lighting/color-balance adjustments: fine, and often necessary to make the photo "look" accurate. This includes brightness/contrast. Sharpening:...

Is that your 10" Dob, and if so, is that a front filter? Solar?
LEGO makes rope now? ;)
OMG! You DO know what this signifies, don't you: ANCIENT BARCODES!
Okay, seeing this thread dredged up made me go back and check all the threads Hunting Rare has started. By my count, he's now up to at least six...
Yup, the Mint's designers failed to learn the Buffalo nickel lesson: don't make the date a high point of the design. This was probably minted...
