hahaa thanks Jase. I was about to chop the running man even more as i like the bright star under orion. THink this is the only shot which i include the sholders .

Very well done again mate !

Thanks Steve. Keep it up with your SBIG. you have a very powerful camera at your disposal. want to swap them? hehe
