Thanks Paul, glad you got some enjoyment from it. Aren't kids great with their comments and observations, they see things for what they are and don't read too much into it. If only we could hold onto that innocence and acceptance as we grow older but in this changing world we have to learn not to believe all we hear and see. Kids make Christmas a happier time, great to have them around on the day. Merry Christmas to you and all our forum followers!

Now, I actually did shoot the Carina nebula on Christmas eve because the night was so clear without the moon and I increased the saturation to bring out the 'Christmas colours'. 15 x 90 second subs with the Nano Tracker on a Manfrotto tripod using a Sigma 50-200mm lens @ 200mm f 5.6, 800 iso, modded Canon 550d. Bortle 6 skies.
