Hi All!
I'm sure you all be saying not another Tarantula!!... :P

I haven't had the chance to image for so long...so I picked an easy target to shoot from my backyard. So here is my 1st attempt for the year.

Dave,

Nice image Dave - I'm so tempted to have another go at the Tarantula myself. .must.resist.the.urge.

And you blog looks terrific too. Well done. :thumbsup: I must have a go at the QHY9 Shutter Silencer (http://spacedoutdave.blogspot.com/2010/12/on-my-list-of-things-to-do-is-silencing.html)

I'll be honest Dave, I almost didn't bother opening your post when I saw the title :lol:...heck I am glad I did though :eyepop:

This looks great, I love the shiny looking golden stars. The image has the slightly fuzzy RGB look so characteristic of this nebula but in kind of the Hubble Pallet :thumbsup:

Very Cool

Very nice image Dave, a target which looks so different on each and every image. The colours all be they NB colours are quite subtle and well applied.

Well done.
