Nice work Jerry. Nice to see a target that most of us southerners cannot image.

Really nice work with DSLR and refractor! I have to extend my exposure time for Virgo Cluster and Fornax Cluster

Great shot Jerry. The colors are rich and I like the rather "dark" view of the whole composition. It gives a "far away" look.

Very nice image taken with a very nice telescope Jerry

I really like the multitude of galaxies in the background.

Nice work Jerry. You always manage to bring out the full range of colours in your images.

Very nice, good framing! The famous galaxy and the cluster, never seen before.
