Hi Philip,

Long time no speakee.

As it happened, I was at the UWS Nepean Observatory last night, and I looked at the Tarantula as well. Unlike your excellent work, it was pretty sad, blown out by the moon and clouds.

Your image is very nice. I like the stars - the colour is very good. ANd the distinctive shape is well defined.


Keep up the good work !

Regards,
Tony Barry
