As soon as I looked at that image, I thought it had Martin's fingerprints all over it....superb tight stars, smooth background and delightful colour variation....and sure enough...

Kudos to Martin :thumbsup:

Hello everyone

Thought I would drop in and say 'thank you' to Bill for posting the APOD and for the very kind follow-up comments.

Needlesss to say I am very happy to have got my first for 2015 and my 41st overall.

Clear skies
