Hey Mike,
long time no comment for me... but I've been hangin' in the back blocks checking out images. Been a pretty poor 6 months here with weather, but have some image projects on the way, but weather is still all over the place.
Holy guacamole

, Batman, aaahhh make that Strongman, this is some huge, high res real- estate with your killer setup. I had my mon fairly up there when I first viewed your large image, thought it appeared a wee bit grainy, then dropped it back to where it should be, and voila, mmmmm very nice indeed.
What impresses me with this image apart from the lovely detail in the nebulosity are the tiny stars that are so well defined... that Taka still turns my head. There's a little reflection neb just left and down from M43 that I've never seen...
Thanks for this, most enjoyable!
Rich
