Really delighted to see you get this one Harel. I greatly admire your images. Strange that you got it with something bright enough for most mortals to image since you normally specialize in the strictly invisible!!!

Congratulations Harel!! It is a fantastic image with so much going on.

Thanks Lewis! I am happy you liked it!

Actually, the amount if stuff going on in this image surprised me very much while processing it... I never thought there were so many wrinkles in the gas and dust..

Cheers,

Harel :)

Sincerest congratulations on not only a superb image but also with it being an APOD... :hello2::D :D

(Can I ask how many you've had? This surely can't be your first...?!)

Thanks for these kind words and congrats!

... and yes, that was my first APOD :(

Cheers,

Harel :)

Congratulations and well done, it's a terrific image. Ever since someone on SGL (can't remember who it was ), likened the seagull nebula to a parrot, all I see now when I look at images of this nebula is a parrot! :D

Thanks Andy, guys,

Indeed, there's much more of a Parrot in that bird's head than a seagull, I must admit. I think it might be that the seagull name came to it from early views at rather large FOV's, in which the Parrot's face is less evident :hello2:

Cheers,

Harel :)

Thanks Olly, and you know that the admiration of imaging is very mutual here :-)

I was somewhat surprised too, but then took it as somewhat of a complement that a bright object, which has quite a few versions out there, was chosen, rather than one which would have been chosen mainly for its rareness. This way or that, it was happy, and as I can see an ocassion for so many good guys to come forward and say hi. That was for me the true treat of this :hello2:

Thanks again Olly!

Cheers,

Harel :)

Congratulation. Your seagull nebula at apod is the best seagull i've seen so far.

Thanks Emil

By the way - there's a very warm part of my heart with Romania, where I spent four lovely years of my childhood in. I imagane that the mountains probably offer numerous dark sites to image from, and have a hot, superb, Chorba afterwards :)

I liked your jellyfish image very much, by the way!

Cheers,

Harel

Congrats, do you win a day in control of the hubble ?

Thanks! I wish I would! I wish we all would! With the level of imaging on this site, give us one day in the Hubble saddle, and we'll back with images of ET in a family dinner, in a galaxy far, far away :hello2:

Cheers,

Harel :)
