Ok, thats one for the record books. Got to be unique in the world.

Besides, the professionals could studt something off this image.

[Starflyer]

Nah...the shots at the APOTY were amazing too. Martin Pughs Veil literally had me gasping for breath it was that good...as was the widefield orion shot which won...but then you think...wow...how inspiring... this is one of those shots...very very inspirational work

[MikeWilson]

I can't believe you all fell for one of SteveL's jokes. This is a hubble image that's been reprocessed

Only joking! Ten thumbs up for quite possibly the most stunning image I think I've seen on SGL. Never even thought of these objects as being so close.. Joined together like that. The field of view is remarkable.

Well done all!

[Rossco72]

A fabulous piece of work and thanks to all involved for their work and Steve in particular for pulling it all together so that we can enjoy it...

Stunning...

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments! Credits for this project have to go to Steve for processing this beast.

[just looking]

Wow lovely pic ;o)

[ZOG]

I've enjoyed some stunning images on SGL over the years but this one takes second prize

Why second ??? because we just don't know what treasure is going to turn up next, but this one will take some beating

[Brunty12345]

wow thats a beaut right there o.o
