Thanks Malcolm. Its good wide and narrow. Lots to see.
Haha! My pics will be like 10 second exposures compared to yours one you get setup. I bet you won't know what to shoot first!

Great image, lovely colours but my first impression was its a bit soft. Your images are usually sharper than this. Was the seeing a bit weak?

Yes, seeing was garbage. The clear cold dark nights of winter produce beautiful clear skies but terrible seeing. And I had wind to contend with.
Thanks Marc.
Thanks Martin.
Thanks Ryan.
Thanks George.

That's a superb rendition Kevin! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Very minor critique: There is a slight green cast. Remove it and I'll bet the blues and browns would pop even more.

Thanks Marcus. She's a bit data poor too, but as usual I struggle with finding clear skies.
Thanks Mathew.
