Hi

the last quarter moon was rising as I did them.

Beautiful shot Scott, that's one for the magazines.

The trifid is just so photogenic!

Thanks to scott for a delightful shot. One of the first images that got me started at the old Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (became the Powerhouse Museum) was a colour slide-no more stunning than this-of this Trifid nebula, and I was running the slide projector, so I saw it a lot.

Wow that is a great shot. It's shots like that that keep us all keen and hungry for the night skies.
