Thanks Paul. It was nice to get some more good seeing - had a few good sessions this winter, although they rarely last much longer than a couple of hours.

On the subject of NIR imaging, there is a good comparison of M16 imaged in visible and NIR.

Great image there though!

Thanks peter. I guess in this case "visible" means "visible if you have really different eyes". very interesting comparo though.
