Beeeuwdiful rendition .:thumbsup:

[jjjnettie]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
It was great to be out there again.
It was lovely to have company in the wee hours of the morning too. Our chat room is awesome.

Beautiful image. Love that.
Can I ask if that's cropped at all JJJ?
I'm still to figure out what sort of FOV to expect with my 450D and nifty 50. Embarassed its almost 18months old and hasn't captured any astro photons yet :ashamed:

[jjjnettie]

Rob, that is virtually full frame.

[RobF]

Ta. I'm hoping to let the 450 run wild and free again at AF, but I always talk myself out of it having too much fun going deep with the QHY9....:P

[Hagar]

That's fantastic JJ. Keep this up and I might have to crank up the DSLR again. God help you all.

[Fabiomax]

Beautiful! great shot,

Nice work.

[RobF]

Just what I was thinking Doug. The market will be flooded with CCDs if you don't stop taking such stunners JJJ :)

[jjjnettie]

:wink2: It's all part of my cunning plan so I can pick up a CCD cheap. Bwah ha ha haaaa.

[Aris Greece]

So nice & rich Area.
Great Image!
