Mike what a fitting tribute - and it is something that you can image again and again building on what you have. Memories and a brilliant image will never fade

For most of us Astrophotography is just an exercise in collecting photons. I'm glad you found a better use for it. I'm sure she would be proud and honoured.

Regardless of the intent, you haven't lost your focus. Another one fine image for the portfolio.

Hi Mike,
I'm so sorry to here about your niece, as every one here has said.
I don't know what I'd do if I lost any of my lovely nieces.....
I'd like to think I would be as you, carry on and dedicate what I love to do, to some one I also loved with the same conviction.

A fitting image tribute here Mike.....

All my very best wishes to you and your family/s.

Rich

Sarahs father Mark Waugh (yes same as the cricketer) would like to do a set of the 4 images (small, negative, large, including Sarah) in one of those mulitiple frames. He has been looking at my image of Sarah's Nebula a lot he says... so I think it has acheived it's intention

Cheers

Mike
