I was expecting a nicely done but a bit of a boring object image but I was nicely surprised.
You've done a wonderful job of this one and the fabulous seeing shows through. There's more detail in that image than any other I have seen of that object. Worth the cold and the dew!
Of interest too, is that only 2 out of the previous 7 yearly winners of the Malin Award used high end gear (CCD cameras etc). Its more about an image that is impactful with the general public in mind that would inspire and interest them to be involved with astrophotography. So high end cameras and gear is no guarantee at all. A clever and well executed DSLR image is more likely to bag it. 325,000 people viewed last years images so its quite a big deal. Possibly one of the most viewed in the world.
