Bruce,

Thanks! I can understand what you're saying, but, I think I like it like that, just puts it all into perspective, somewhat.

Coombellkid,

Rod,

It's a beauty, innit.

Once I've got my new equipment, I'll image it through the ED80 and see how it turns out.

jjjnettie,

As mentioned earlier, I'll put up a low resolution image, soon.

Ric,

Thanks, mate. It's a gorgeous region of the sky.

Roger,

Thanks for the compliment, mate. Glad you liked it.
