Nah, I think that honour goes to Anthony with his Bird Strike from last year. I think it was over 12,000 view.
Edit actually it was this year with 31,000 view, last year was only 24,000 view.
On to business. Great negative image Mike. Yeah I remember film, and no I would never go back to that.
One thing I would like to point out. There are plenty of nah sayers about Tak mounts not being as good as a PME. Sure the PME comes with a few extras but I have never seen and I repeat never seen data tighter from a PME than what you get nearly all of the time Mike. To the likes that often say Tak mounts are not worth buying, then this is an advertisement that they are worth buying. Sure they don't have a home position and that makes it hard to acquire your guide star night after night, but with results like this who cares. When those people produce results like this with your PME (and you know who I am talking about boys) and expensive scopes then there will be kudos. Until then, take a gander at this image taken with a Tak.
Yes I know the scope takes the image but the mount makes the image as sharp as the scope is capable. Well done Mike, going back to planning my next image.
nor acheiving this sort of image density on film 
did on his Centaurus A not the number of thread views....although my Cen A album images alone at my web site have had over 20,000 hits in total (and it hasn't even been an APOD) ...shows just how wide reaching Birds amazing image was!!!
