well my friend, you are now there!!!
Antares is beautifully collimated, there is a slight curvature (not sure if this is the right term) to edges, but i am finding it hard to work out where it could be improved!!
The dust lanes that are forming "Humayun's Hands" are spectacular.
Beautifully presented.
Please get a poster done and dare I say, a possible entry in the malin???

David,
You've got me blushing! With a cheesey smile on my face at the same time!
Thank you very much for your compliment and kind words.
As far as posters are concerned, I've printed out my other two recent images of Lostock (Pointers and Crux, Crux and Eta Carinae) and they came out really, really nice. They were printed on 6"x8" photographic paper. I would love to make large format prints of all of them and get them framed.
As for a possible entry into the David Malin Awards -- I doubt it! I'm just starting out in this venture, and there are others who are far more deserving of entering (and winning). Having said that, how does one enter the awards, anyway?
I can't wait to take more astrophotographs.
Kind regards,
Humayun
