To: gallery@orpington-astronomy.org.uk Subject: Gallery submission Your image should be in JPEG, PNG or GIF format and, ideally, no bigger than 670x670 pixels (though occasionally an image up to 800x800 may be considered). Please also make the file as small as you can manage without compromising the quality. Smaller files stand a better chance of being placed on the main site. Larger files may only be placed in the gallery archive site. For use on the website, JPEG is best. Please give the image file a meaningful name as follows to cut down on the risk of file-name collisions and make the archive easier to manage: 1) Start the name with your initials. 2) Follow that with something descriptive. 3) Include a date if possible. 4) Use underscore "_" if you like, but please do NOT use spaces! Either attach your image to an email, or include a URL from which it can be fetched. Optionally attach a thumbnail image to go with your picture. This must be exactly 95x95. It could be a reduced version of the main picture, or a region cropped from it, or some combination of reduction and cropping. Use the same format as the main image if at all possible. Please provide information about the image. Replace the "[text]" with appropriate information. Please avoid putting text in the images themselves. A date, time and your name is fine, but reams of explanation just make the image file bigger, and can be hard to read... File: [Name of file] Title: [Short title] By: [Your name] Date: [The date (and time) the image was taken] Description: [A reasonable description of the image, which may go on to several lines, or even a few paragraphs.] Tech: [Technical details about how the image was made. This may also be quite long, if you like] Homepage: [If you would like a link from the OAS site to your own astronomy web page then please give its URL and title here.] At least File: Title: By: and Description: must be provided, but Date: and Tech: are nice to have too. The copyright of your image remains with you, but by submitting it to the OAS Gallery, we assume you are giving us permission to use it on the OAS websites.
