Rolf I have seen many spectacular deep sky objects, lots of clear sharp renditions of our solar system planets, our own star and our moon but ya know what?..this image does it for me, not because it is visually spectacular, although your processing is lovely, but rather because it simply and beautifully conveys a real sense of just what it is - and that is, another star, the next nearest star even. It even looks like a sphere and appears to just hang there in space. It's just great to stare at that small red pea and remember that there are no other stars between our star and this one yet it is some 40 million million km away......
Thanks for taking this, it's an excellent astronomical image.
