[Shiraz (Ray)]

Hi

the sky was bright (the local wharf was being used to load a ship - with about a megawatt of lights blazing), but the seeing was good at around 2 arcsec (yahoo!). Consequently, the dim extended star lanes got a bit lost in shot noise, but the detail available in the core was pretty good. I used the ESO image as a guide for the colour - a bit more saturation than I would normally use, but the ESO image looks OK, so what do I know.

the cropped image is presented scaled x0.5 to make the star lanes more easily visible and in full scale for the core.

grateful for any feedback. Thanks for looking. Regards Ray
