thanks Greg. it sure is breathtaking to realise what this sort of image shows - I find it very difficult to comprehend.

Very generous Mike
- it is a very productive community to be part of. This image won't win any prizes and no-one will go OOH when they look at it. But I feel very lucky to be alive when we can afford equipment that will allow us to peer at and vaguely understand some of the bare bones of the universe - even if imperfectly. how much fun is that
.
Back on earth though, it would be nice to find somewhere with reliably good seeing. I have 5 hours of data from last night with 5-6 arcsec blobs in it
