Yet another great image Greg..

You're really churning them out at the moment... Oh, how I wish for clear skies!

Lovely image Greg.

I like have you have managed to capture 2 smaller globs as well.

Very nice indeed. :thumbsup:

[gregbradley]

Yes I noticed those. They must be far away as they seem a bit vague.
Maybe they are on the other side of our galaxy.

Nice shot. Sharp and good colour. The two globs are NGC 121 and ESO 28-19. Both are globs associated with the SMC.

Thanks Matt.

Good shot Greg and great colours. That's not an easy one to get without burning the core :thumbsup:

That is a very nice image Greg, and the resolution, with pinpoint stars of different colours is eye catching.

Lovely image Greg! Nice round stars and nice colors, only one thing that distracts a bit from it and thats the dark halos around the brighter stars, maybe from decon or minimum filters. If you work a little bit more on that it will be a very top quality image of this beaut Glob!
cheers Gary

Lovely image Greg. Nice colour scattered through the star field. Lots af little bits to look at including those little globs way in the background.

Beautiful.
