Lovely shot Eric, that dust lane must be massive to stand out like that.

Cheers

h0ughy they won't let Eric use the Hubble as it would run out of maneuvering fuel so he has to use his own. As usual a very good image Eric. I do enjoy all your images even though I don't comment very often.

It is because of Eric (and Scott etc) I have never even thought of a ten inch Newt for imaging as they are all over the place getting great detailed images. How could a mere old retired scientist compete with such exuberance let alone keep up!

Now that's a target I have to try for visually one day soon. Thanks for reminding me, Eric. I like the image.

ps. Has it got a star smack bang in front of it?

Another great image Eric. Did you need to modify your NGT-10 to achieve focus with the 350D?
