Hey thanks Paddy, to have an image in such illustrious company is pretty much a dream.
I wish I had another scope to do visual with, the Starfire is a great scope to visually observe with but it and the mount are always in imaging mode, something with a larger aperture to use visually while I am imaging with the 6" would be great.

It is a most excellent image and for an amateur to receive recognition from the professionals of his or her field is very special, an occasion to be savored.
Congratulations

Thanks Trevor it's nothing in the scheme of things but it's enough to bring a chuffed smile to my face. It's nice to be able to produce something that is not "just" a pretty picture
