Not being an imager myself I rarely post comments in this area, in my case it's probably a bit like the old saying "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like...."

Well I really like those images Eric, and as much as your images usually seem to stand tall above the masses, to me these 3 in particular really have some appeal. As was said above your capture of the Jewel Box is wonderful, it really does put the 'jewels' back into that cluster!

Some more great images - well done Eric. Were these taken during the full moon recently?

I prefer the image of Omega Centauri. It seems to have a 3D effect, and so many stars. I think that the big globular clusters like Omega Centauri are really impressive. I like it a lot.
