Pretty good effort there JJJ, not the easiest of targets but you have captured then nicely.

That is a very nice area of the northern sky you have captured there JJJ. All the best.

Really nice JJJ!

More data at Astrofests darker skies perhaps?

Oh, wow, Jeanette. That's actually really quite nice -- pinpoint stars. Did you shoot RAW or JPG?

Thanks for giving me a bit of a roadmap!

Apologies to any other girls that are doing this that I'm not aware of!

Yes, I forgot to change to raw again. At least it was large jpgs this time.

Glad you like it everyone. And thanks David for the road map.
