My dear Astrofriends! Thank u all very much. I am very happy that u like the image, because for me the most important thing is that we can reveal and share the beauties and the mysteries of the Universe. Soon with my new CCD ATIK 314L+ i will try to go much deeper inside the astronomy targets and i will share everything with u all. Thanks again!
