The hole in one is pretty cool.

Only because it is different.

That down hill slope must be on a good gradient.

Cheers Kev.

What a spectacular array of pictures.
Yes the Orion one was amazing and I liked the one of Rhea with Titan in the background, and all the others as well.

Thanks Kustard.

The Mars image stopped me in my tracks.
It's right off the front cover of a fantasy book.

A batch of great images.
I particularly liked the globular NGC 6934 in Delphinus, Rhea in front of Titan and that fantastic image of the Sun.

Regards, Rob

What an excellent collection.

The shuttle shot is a classic, I'd love a poster version of that one.

Thanks for the link.

A fabulous collection.

The Rhea/Titan image is extraordinary. The Tendrils on the polar dunes of Mars
are fantastic. All of the images are winners!

Im with you on that JJJ, I looked at it and thought I was looking at plant life somewhere .. then I read it was on Mars and it just took away 4 heart beats. Amazingly clear and detailed, the like of which Ive never seen before, except in something ficticious, but this is the real deal, the real McCoy, the most UN-Capricorn One. I feel like Ive been privaledged somehow.

Thank you for sharing these Simon, they are simply amazing. I think Orion gets my vote but it is impossible to narrow it down to just one image.

Don't forget Rogelio Andreo will be at AAIC on the Gold Coast, so if you haven't booked better get in fast
