Fantastic stars. Nicely done.

Thank you Mr Head, or may I call you 'Al'?

A mighty fine image...one one of my very first astro targets this was...this rendition is one googolplex times better of course.

Very nice indeed, great colour and definition.

I'd be happy right now to get my single G2-8300 to deliver something approaching this, never mind two...

[gnomus]

Thank you, Mr Tomato.

Lovely image... I'm tipping my toes into imaging as well and it also looks lovely through the eyepiece...

It is a stunner through the eyepiece isn't it?  Thanks for your kind words.

Stormin!'  How many times have I said that the stars and the background sky are the hardest things to get right? And what could we possibly criticize about either in this image? Flat, neutral background and sizzling stars, rich in colour to the core, tight and bright.

I'm just as keen to spend other peoples' time as I am their money so may I suggest doing a Fabian Neyer on the Ha background???

Olly

[gnomus]

Thanks Olly.  I have seen Fabian's Ha version, and your one.  Maybe once I get a bit more experience .... in 20 years or so....

Great shot.

Thanks, Rodd

Lovely, you've managed to produce rich star colour and variations in brightness without it all looking forced.

Thanks Martin
