What I hoped to achieve when I started astrophotography

I guess they won't win any awards but when I fell down the slippery slope of astrophotography I guess I really just wanted to be able to print them out and put them on the wall. Ambition ahieved!

cheers

Nice work Niko. No awards for frame alignment on the wall either though!

That looks great Niko!

Like Houghy I don't have that many up either, the other half likes minimalism, colour is naughty

Great stuff Niko. I assume you are still allowed in the house and your belongings weren't in the gutter.

Hey Niko,
I love it, those same ambitions here as well only I haven't gotten that far yet. I guess it's just nice to say "I did that", looking forward to the day.
Finding room between the quilts, "the other half" will be the problem.

The other Nico.

You are lucky, no hanging of astro images for me, just swords and a Japanese kimono

Well done Niko!

I must admit my wife has had no problems with me hanging the odd picture or two on the walls, even to the point of suggesting I should hang one when she sees one she likes!

Cheers,
Mario

I can relate to that - it strikes a chord! Having them hanging on your wall is an end in itself! Good on you Niko!

Cheers, Marcus
