That's an awesome shot Eric.....
Now - to help out an up and coming astrophotographer.... could you post or email to me some of your "straight from camera" shots.... I want to see what you begin with, so I'll know what can be done to get images like yours!
Have only had the G-11 out twice so far, really just climbing the polar align learning curve - but hope to shoot with the D70 soon....
Again - AWESOME image.....
