Hi Bill

Congratulations on producing these wonderful images. I particularly love the wider perspective of the 2nd image – the star colours are amazing as well. Top stuff!

Cheers

Dennis

Beautiful images, Bill. The second one is my favourite, though the background is a bit too green.

Can I ask, why only 1 min exposures?

Excellent detail in the closeup Bill!
Nice work!
cheers

Hi,

Good detail there, I am not sure I would have the patience for 101 seperate exposures

Thanks, guys.

I keep my subs as short as I can, in order to reduce the number that get discarded because they've got tracking errors in them.
