Thank you Bill and to the others - yeah a nice surprise to beat the rain again and sneak on the shortlist (5 years in 6 now). Wasn't what I thought was my best image either! And I'm cranky that the best seeing of a good run in September didn't *quite* coincide with the spokes on show in the rings. Congrats to Kelvin too, more great ISS work after the Malins too. I assume that Barden Ridge might be getting a nod too Peter?
A slightly more extended gallery is here:

seems about half the deep sky images are taken at El Sauce these days, deep sky must be a tough old category to get in to
