Hi, Marc,

You're having a great success with the new refractor!

These two shots are special because they show two almost cancelling things: how syrupy thick the Milky Way is, with billions and billions of stars, and inconceivable amounts of dust making everything like an orange sunset; and how despite that, we can actually see through it to some degree, and see not just 4945 and 5128, but a distant smattering of other tiny galaxies. Then the third thing: there's room between us and all that dust for a small number of rare and brilliant blue-white stars which look great in your images.

A great result.
