I was somewhat waiting for this part of the image Fred. Part 1 (the tower) and Part 2 (the donut) was a good build up, somewhat teasers for main act, Part 3 and wow, what a knockout. Agree, ditch the stars for the extreme close up. They are too distracting and take away from the glorious pillars of creation. Must feel good to have near endless clear skies and great seeing. Looking forward to your next instalment.

Yes, Fred's gone starless eagle before. I count only 5 renditions of the eagle, two now starless. I'm afraid you still win Mike with your 10+ renditions.
There's still time in the season for a few more.
I am indeed green with envy of Fred's set up and location, so much so I'm moving my 12.5" RCOS set up from my current remotely controlled observatory, up to iTelescope SSO where Fred is.
