Thanks for the great comments guys. Been stuck inside for a while because of the weather and it has cheered me up

Hmmmm....i think there must be a Hubble sized telescope hidden in one of those sand quarries. Taken from a back garden in Sandbach?? Nah...must be a ruse!

Seriously that image is awesome!

Well done! Fab image!!

As has been said already, it's been this sort of image that has drawn so many people into astronomy - truly stunning!

Well, that's an awesome picture!! I've just had a go at the horse myself this evening/morning, if it looks even a 10th as good as yours I'll be pleased - you must be ecstatic!

Lovely image, although if the tracking had been spot on, it would be a fantastic image.

Keep at it ... hopefully i can image this tonight ... from the other side of the world !!

snigger, mini me, now there is a horrid thought....

So wanted to add to this image, but Mr Cloud has decided since to play.

Hello Cat...don't know how I missed this!

Great image, yes, there are a few minor technical niggles but the whole image punches out of the screen at you. Very dynamic and well composed

Great to get your own image of something that was iconic to you. Mine was last year, the cone nebula. I had it on the front cover of 'Violent Universe' by Nigel Calder, and spent hours gazing at it as a kid

Cheers

Very well done... that's a corker.

I corrected the embedding link so the image is now in the thread.

Cat , that is a Stonker mate ( even with the slight trailing ) You have certainly pushed the imaging boat out since May , well done mate.

I think that is a fantastic image, great work. Shame about the star shapes - definitely something up in the guiding department. I would get the PA as accurate as you can as you can ask autoguiding to do too much.
