Excellent shot
Thanks Carl, yes short subs is the key. It only works for reasonably bright objects though.

That is a real eyeopener Rolf, fantastic image.
Makes me wonder how a HDR treatment would go on this object.

Keep 'em coming Rolf, you're giving me an education.

Thank you very much Justin. Yeah the ToUCam is quite good in certain aspects. Though I'm sure I could get an improved image with a proper CCD sensor - more sensitivity would allow for even shorter subs.

Thank you very much Mike. Capturing plasma at relativistic speeds is quite cool I have to admit
