Naah, they'll probably pick Orion setting behind a rock or something. ;-)

Fantastic image however.

Thank you everyone for your encouraging words.
It has been great fun working with this huge set of Centaurus A data on several occasions throughout the last year, and I'm grateful for being able to take part in this Pro-Am collaboration with NASA.

I'm currently working on another mega-data project which should be ready within the next couple of months. Not quite another 120 hours though... as we didn't have a drought in NZ this summer, unlike last year, so there has been slightly fewer clear nights.
I really like joggling these enormous datasets, allthough I've just had to invest in a new 4TB drive due to this habit

But yes the weather has been pretty poor here also. Not overcast and pouring rain, but just enough cloud to ruin any chance of serious imaging sessions... *sigh*

[Paul Haese]

Well done on the collaboration Rolf.

Heat off Rolf, an already fantastic image turned out even more interesting! Thanks also for pointing out this chance to cooperate with the pros, I was not aware about it!

Clear skies

You should understandably be very happy with that. What great science and kudos for your effort and skill!
