And Peters M104 looks far better too (well, they were all impressive, I cant mention them all).
The "hanging in space" effect of mild widefield is hard to capture on an LCD, as the object res cant be appreciated without zooming in, and then you lose the "hanging in space effect". In print its all there in one view.
This (in print) is where optical and megapixel cam resolution really shows up. Everyone who can, should make the effort to go and see the exibitition to appreciate the level of quailty the winners produce.

Well glad you liked'em Fred, they do look impressive hanging in an observatory huh?
Yes, once in print images or more correctly "photos" are far more tangible or "real".. the viewer can relate to them far better IMO, no scrolling or zooming required, just stand and enjoy at what ever distance you wish.
I recon a bigger room with all the images in together would have been better but like I said in a previous post it's like they are haning in a house.
