Beatiful little thing it is...:)

Well done Shawn, you've brought out the core details and the ears wonderfully. I always have trouble with this one.

A fine effort.

Hi Shawn,

That looks awesome, how long was the exposure to get it like that?

Finally tracked this thing down recently for the first time but was the smallest blue smudge.

Nice pic! It really is a nice little object, isn't it

Great image Shawn, lovely little object.

Thankyou guys it is very small, I love the colour, It was 4 x 60 secs at 400 , 350D on the 14"

Thanks Again

Nice shot Shawn, is it worth doing a longer exposure as well, just to get some background stars to show through, maybe layering the two together??

Nice :thumbsup:

[Shawn]

Thankyou , I will try again but its so bright on the star background in any longer exposure drowned it, I would as you say need to mask out or layer...

Cheers
