Thanks everyone for your great feedback. I'm very humbled by your comments and it's definitely made all the hard work in producing this image, worthwhile.

Dennis thanks for your comments. I heard back from Chuck, and he said he would like to use it for an LPOD! Very exciting! Getting my Jupiter shot on APOD was an amazing experience.

Hi Mike

That's great news about LPOD - I look forward to cruising the mosaic again when Chuck uploads it there. I hope that Chuck can put a link to the original file, as the reduced size file, although still stunning, does not do the mosaic justice when compared to the fully resolved original.

This is truly a defining moment in your imaging career eh? It really is quite a remarkable mosaic, made even more special by your use of the humble dob and tracking platform.

Cheers

Dennis
