Thank you.

I agree, I might have to invest in one!

Rod,

Thank you.

I wish it were a woman. Carina is one of my favourite names, too.

The reddish-pink nebulosity rather reminds of hot lipstick. Carina must have put her make-up on in anticipation of your visit. I think she likes you....

Narayan,

It's pretty much how it came out of the camera. *shrugs shoulders*

I'll have to reshoot it.

Narayan,



In actuality, we went to bed after the sun rose!

Yummm! niiiiice Big H!

I like Eta Peanut Butter too!

Interesting colour, I don't think I have seen the nebula represented in that hue..?

Mike,

Cheers again, mate.

I am intrigued as to why it's turned out like that.

This weekend, when I have access to a CRT monitor, I may reprocess it.

I think I may have gone a little overboard in my stretching.

Humayun
