Thats really good Mick. I've always wanted to capture the dust around those stars. You must be chuffed!

Fay

Well, Mick, you are wrong, that is indeed stunning, I am really pleased for you that the first image you have posted is so good!!!!!!You have processed it well & have a lot of nebulosity even with those short subs. You could just crop the edges a bit

Thanks for the comments
Yep I am chuffed and I agree it needs cropping - tried to do that on the Gallery but I "don't have permissions"  :o

Excellent image Mick, and as Fay has said a great first image posting. (I'd be pleased with that, even if it was out of focus)

So the ploy is to get everyone drunk on polski s*&t and then perfect the art of imaging. :roll: Very cunning plan. ;)

Well done Mick - that is an excellent first image.  You must be delighted with that.  All the hard work is finally paying off.  It looks really good for an unguided image.

BTW - thanks for the Absinthe - but I don't think I'll drink it again before imaging!

Nice image Mick. Plenty of wispy stuff there and good focus. Well done !
