What image have you taken that gives you a real buzz!

Hi all

This topic may have been done? but I am wondering what image have you taken that has given you the most pleasure and why?

I will tell one of my stories if I may.

I had been imaging for some time and was introduced to Autostitch (a free stitching programme to 'join' images - usually landscape etc).
I had never used one before and thought I would take images from the full Moon and stitch them together. I was using my 8" scope and LPI.
I took about 20 individual images and late that night I merged them into my first full Moon image. I was so impressed with the results I posted the image on an LPI site.
Later one of the other members wrote back and congratulated me on my penumbral eclipse image - unbeknown to me I had captured the outer part of Earth's shadow cast on the full Moon.

The image was also published in Australian Sky and Telescope magazine - something that still spins me out.

What is your story?

Matt
