That's a fantastic image Fred. So clear and real. I feel like I could reach out and touch it.

Never seen these objects before in my short astronomy adventure. They remind me of weird deep sea fluorescent creatures :)

Geez, on tap data Fred :lol:

Dark and weird...but rather cool, exposures will make Paul very happy too :thumbsup:

Actually started on this myself a while back...better finish it now but it won't be 50hrs :lol:

Gee thanks Guys, and that was only 4 can processing :D

Tis a bit dark and weird, atmoshperic though I think.

Yes, data on tap. At the risk of sounding like an add, itelescope hosting is just an effortless seamless experience, it all just works all the time, day after day 6-8 hrs of data just pores in :D
