another lovely image Vicky, there were a few images of the heart neb taken at Kelling starparty last year, it`s a big thing, i think Colin just got it in with a 80mm short refractor scope and a Modded Canon 1100d

Thank you, I actually got more of the nebula in than I thought I would! I saw the pics from Kelling, some really nice images.

That is really nice Vicky, I`m no astro photographer but I can see nice sharp stars even at the edges and the color and detail is great.

 

Love it.
