As good as it gets...

Thanks for posting the link Peter.

Not only does Johannes produce incredible work but he's also a great guy and he takes the time to respond to emails and give advice (not unlike our own Jase & Mike Sid).

This is yet another incredible image by him and I've been visiting his site since I started with DSLR astro.
In fact it was his article in S&T (Canon 10D) that got me hooked and he's given me advice on a few things.

Always enjoyed his work and well worth bookmarking his website.

Also love your image Peter, fantastic work.

I have spent a lot of time looking at this chaps gallery, it almost makes me want to give up or buy time on the GRAS or similar telescopes. His work is just awesome. Is there something in the warer in Austria? The Snowball and Eskimo nebulae in his gallery is just amazing detail when compared to the HST the results he has are simply out of this world. For others to look her is his main page.

Check out that pick on the front page. This has now taken over the my top image spot, previously held by Dietmar's image of the same area.

I could have a lot of fun with that KC scope hunting down small obscure planetaries in the southern sky
