Hi Guys,

Thanks for the kind replies.

Greg.

Yeah I havn't been taking images for that long and this is probably the first time I've encountered large stars in the vicinity of the image. I'll try to fix that up.

Haha! It's unfortunate that most of the telescopes on the mountain were destroyed in the 03 fires, it's mostly an office space now for ANU's astronomers.

Also, does anyone know what the nebulous feature I've circled here is? It's in all of the images of this target, but I can't find it on my Cartes du Ciel program.

Cheers,
George
