Thank you Martin
I feel your pain trying to capture this one with a small apature. Half the trouble was even finding it using reference stars around it ( couldn't see the galaxy itself at all ). There are several stars in similar line formations around the object and it's hard to make sure you pick the right one to frame the shot. One nights session went in the bin because I picked the wrong set.
This particular photo has actually cost me a bit of money. After using it to try my mates Canon 5d compared to my 350d I've bought the camera off him
Nice piece of trivia there too Martin. Half the fun of this amazing hobby is enjoying the facts that go with each object
Onwards and upwards
