Thanks Chris! This is one of my favorite targets and frankly I was surprised how well this picture came out. Those dark skies sure help! Don’t ya just wish Camp Billy Joe was closer?

Forgot to mention that the framing is fantastic too. Thirds, diagonals, all the elements.

Hi Howard,
This is one of my favorites of yours. Not only technically very nice, with tiny, round stars even in the corners, and black blacks, but the composition is striking and dynamic.
It has a real feeling of movement. I also like the many different types of objects in one shot. Bright emission nebula, varying densities of dark nebula going from barely there to completely opaque, even the subtle coloring of the star areas from cool on the right, to slightly warmer on the left.
Reminds me of your Rho photo, and I especially like the vdB142, B33, M101, M51, and Rosette photos as well, but this is probably my favorite.
Nicely done again,
Chris

The children of our villages will sing your praises for generations!
It’s amazing how accurately your photograph matches with my memory of seeing it. Slowly building red, then bright green, then the burst. The only thing it didn’t capture perfectly was all the noise from the field when it hit, and the sly grin on your face knowing you probably got it.
