Image Search Engines covered by Netcopyrightlaw.com a great resource for protecting your images.
A number of new image search engines have attempted to take advantage of
the fact that website owners have posted their images and text to be seen,
enforced by a widespread belief that anything on the Internet is free for the
taking, and created new businesses based on fair use of these images to
earn hundreds of millions utilizing the images indexed, harvested, scoured and
vacuumed from websites worldwide.
In order to find out if any of your images (graphics) have been taken by image
search engines and posted in their databases for their business uses, you may
attempt to search for them using the most common of the image search
engines shown below. Keep in mind that the images have been reduced in size,
given new file numbers and .jpg or .gif extensions which may not be the same
as those you used in your website. However, if you search for your images
using common terms from your website or from file extensions, you may be
able to find them with relative ease.
Tracking Infringement and Copyright Infringement Action sections are also covered by Netcopyrightlaw.com.

Video Capture Astrophotography
Video is not "the" end-all imaging method, but rather a very powerful and rather specialized tool for recording and capturing images of the Sun, Moon and Planets. Its particular strength is in its ability to record events such as lunar and planetary occultations, transits, eclipses, solar prominences and flares along with meteors and satellites. Because video captures 30 frames per second, recordings made during the poorest of seeing conditions will often yield reasonably sharp and clear intermittent individual frames.
