Looked at this a few times now. What a ripper! Very impressive work Mike. The contrast of the star colours really make this image.

What can I say that hasn't been said before... That's just spot on! I actually really like that you let us choose different crops/framing options - I wish more people did that!

Cheers Ivo, with such a large field just showing the full frame at a size that is manageable limits the appreciation of the full qualities of the image so it makes sense to provide cropped views (besides Fred loves'em )

Another impressive image Mike, and especially for not much more than an hour of exposure.

I'd like to know how many individual stars you have captured in that shot - maybe expressed as stars/square degree or similar!

Cheers Chris, the fast astrograph is pretty useful but the area doesn't really require that much exposure.

Thanks Mike, it's no wow image but rather one of those universally pleasant type vistas that don't get imaged too often becaseu it is basically stars

Love it!
I have a weak spot for dense golden star fields and this one is a treat to look at!
Cheers,
Alex

Cheers Alex, I guess it is a slightly larger field than you had with the 10.4m...?

Cheers Shane, for an essentially quite simple shot it seems to have struck a cord with a few people and that's nice .

Very very nice Mike, it is always difficult to render these starfields with the right golden cast and you did it very well. Hope to see more from the AG12 on deeper objects now

Glad you enjoyed the view Marco

Yes deeper is the path and the way...soon. Did you see what a handful of 5min exposures grabbed on the Helix?
