Cheers M&T, it's a departure from my usual big & bold style, but just look at the sheer magnificence of all those stars!
The history gives a bit of perspective too - after all, compared to the evolution of stars, the human race is akin to ants marching across a leaf!

Cheers Greg, slowly but surely getting a handle on the Tak - auto focussing really helps!

Cheers Peter - not really WF as I don't have the FL to go deeper, but sure, why not!
