Thanks very much Marc! I'm happy with the star shapes too, the new scope and MPCC MkIII has definitely been an improvement.

Thank you Kevin I do a range of A1 posters, and I'm sure this image would look great on one of those. You can see some examples here.

Thanks very much Allan. The Running Chicken is certainly another one I'd like to do as well, the dark globules in its centre are amazing. I probably won't get to it this season though.

Thank you very much Harel I'd be looking forward to your version! The dark skies of Namibia must surely be great for this target.
