At first I was quite reluctant to share...Oh, what the heck! :)

However, it is an old photo and a new one is long overdue...hoping that in the next few weeks I will be able to produce something worthwhile.

Shameless self promotion is alive an well with a few on this forum. It makes'm feel important I guess.

But, enough of that, This is a very good shot, and from a balcony as well. Top shelf stuff.

[el_draco]

Just beautiful.... Wow!

[Spookyer]

Epic!

[pmrid]

You have already produced something worthwhile. That's a beautiful image. If you can improve on that ???? Well, I'm not sure how.

Congratulations Slawomir - no need for modesty. If you don't tell anyone how will we know - and you're an inspiration to others, well done!

[IanP]

Outstanding :eyepop: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[AlexN]

Top shelf!

[Fabiomax]

Many congratulations on this award. I would like to ask Exactly what is the difference between this and AAPOD2 APOD?
Thank you,
Fabiomax

[SimmoW]

Congrats Slawomir, and yes Andy is right, you're an inspiration, and especially with your location. Pah! A balcony! In Brissy! That's insane.

[Placidus]

Congrats on many levels. It's a very fine photo. So much to see, and nicely and subtly processed.

Do you have a link to a 1:1 original pixels version?

[Slawomir]

Thank you Simon. Yeah, shooting from a balcony has been a pain...but that's how I have always (in the past two years or so) been doing astrophotography...hopefully in the coming weeks we will move one suburb further away from the CBD and I will upgrade to a small backyard! Cannot wait!



Thanks Fabiomax. APOD is the real thing, while AAPOD2 is...for amateurs :)



Thank you Alex. Top shelf for me, but I can see other's shelves much higher up...


:thanx:



Thank you Andy.



Thank you Peter. One day I will make another attempt at this nebula - was thinking of a 2 panel mosaic.



Thank you Brett.



I know, it must have been a genius they guy who designed and made this nebula ;)



Thank you CosmicEcho.

As for self promotion, let he who has no pride cast the first stone... :)

Truly stunning image. Brilliant.

[Retrograde]

Congratulations Slawomir!

No need for modesty - most of us want to know when IIS members' images have been recognised in ways such as this.

[Slawomir]

Thank you all for your support and encouragement.

[Paul Haese]

I thought I had commented on this, but it seems not.

I want to add my congratulations. It is an interesting image of this wonderful object. :thumbsup:
