Paul,

You've done it again. Excellent.

THOUGHT: If there were any planets in there it would never be night-time on them.

Paul, lovely picture. You can almost reach out & touch it. Who said you can't get 3D with digital?
Ken, I think from memory there is about 2 cubic light years between stars. I read it somewhere, a while ago. We'd be in constant subdued moonglow. No good for us astronomers!

That's a lovely shot Paul.. could be framed a touch better but the detail in what you've got is stunning.

The core is not burnt out at all, what a great shot.

Very nice. I was going to post my image of the same object but after seeing your effort realise I need to go back and do more work

Seeker you should still post your shot in your own thread, don't be put off by my image. Part of the reason why my shots are good now is that I posted my images while I was learning and people gave advice that helped me improve.

Thanks all for the comments.

Keep them coming Paul, any shots taken by any of you guys i enjoy looking at on here as they are a fuzz ball in my scope. It is nice to see what you all see with bigger stuff..

[Mick (Michael)]

Beautiful photo of a stunning object!

Great shot Paul. Now all you have to do is take one of 47 Tuc and post it so we can keep that old debate going.

[rumples riot]

Paul If you look carefully down the list, there is one of 47 Tuc that I posted quite a few months ago.
