I particularly like the rosette. I have a feeling you could stretch the images a bit more also and get some more detail. Nice.

Thanks Paul, I will play around with the images some more. I hope to get a color version next new new moon...

I was having a lot of trouble with noise on the 40D. Just reloaded the firmware today and there is a 100% improvement already.

Cheers,

Very nice Rob, I particularly like the Rosette. It is big but quite dim to capture. You have resolved the dark areas in this image very nicely.

Well done
