This is the most stunning astro-image I have ever seen:

Flippin heck 400 hours, I doubt I've done 400 hours in all the time I have been imaging.

I remember when Olly posted this image up when it was only 40 hours (approx) of imaging time and stating it was 40 hours of madness.

Absolutely amazing.

That is truly amazing.  I think it would take me a couple of years to reach a total of 400 hours of observing.  I was happy to get a hint of Barnard's Loop when I was in Chile, but this is staggering.

It's an astonishing image for sure but I'm not quite sure it quite competes with the huge mosaic that someone did of the Milky Way a while back, especially for dedication.

Unfortunately, unless he sells it to someone and its displayed in a public place, we shall never see it in all its glory .  For me that is the sad part.
