The 29 Most Spectacular Space Photos Of 2014

From the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/1...n_6348682.html

Some great images but the Soul Nebula is a bit of a clunker. Maybe a last minute pick as the publication deadline loomed

Cheers,
Rick.

There you go again, putting yourself down Rick. It belongs with many of those pics, and they're taken with some pretty amazing kit.

Congratulations Rick!

I reckon that Veil nebula you took is also one of the most spectacular images I've ever seen.

Ta, Mike. I haven't seen or heard that for a long time.

Not me personally, Simon, just an image that's decent but I didn't think it was spectacular. I guess there's no accounting for taste

Thanks, Kevin. I reckon the Veil is a much better image. I'm very happy with that one A friend printed an A2 copy for me yesterday and it looks great.

Cheers,
Rick.

A2 is definitely not taking advantage of the resolution that's available. Still deciding how much bigger to go
