Gotta be happy with that Mr. Mac!

Some delicately weaved threads and sticky knots showing up very nicely. Great detail. The off-centre framing gives me the feeling of movement somehow: trailing residue from a huge event.

That's especially good as a first NB image, Gary!

Hi,
thanks for the comments guys...now that I've got equipment that works nicely , and I've pretty much recovered from heart issues/surgery, I'm really looking forward to taking some nice pics. I especially love Halpha images, which is just as well as where I'm located REALLY sucks for light pollution!

cheers
