Thanks Greg. The Humunculus is a small but very bright target so planetary imaging techniques actually work well.

Thanks, yes certainly hoping I'm still around when it goes off, but who knows. Would be a fantastic thing to witness (unless one happens to be imaging it right when it pops - I suppose it would more or less fry the chip then!)

Thanks, yes it's quite striking. I hope they take another HST image in a few years so we can really see what's going on.

Thanks Mike, your work is absolutely amazing! I have enjoyed your site many times. I'm planning on getting a more decent camera soon and your images are a great inspiration.

The two guide stars mentioned are visible in his image too.
Rolf, a great bit of astro.

Thanks Tony, that's indeed a great image! Looks like the expansion is visible there too.
