Thanks Simon. I was going to enter the full frame but I like the crop better because of the balance, colour and the fact that it draws attention to the juxtaposition of near & far. Besides, most of the interesting astronomy is in this area.

Where are you based ? You must have great skies there.
Thanks Eddie - and sorry you missed out! I'm in Grose Vale, about 60km NW of Sydney. The skies are reasonably dark, except to the E and SE of course. The seeing has it's moments but you have to have some luck on your side

Cheers, Marcus
