Always amazed at the amount of stars.


I could have framed this better to show more of the dust lane but, you know...


 


Clear skies all.

Yes Rob full spectrum. The 450D is a great little camera and one I'm loathe to replace.


But cooling is still on the agenda for me be it the JTW add on or buying CCD.


 


The jury is still out...

Very nice image Paul, nicely framed by the dark areas and multitudes of stars... Great stuff!
