Some lovely images, but personally i've seen other outstanding stuff on CN and SGL astro forums.

Too few deep sky stuff for my liking :)

Hey Roly :D Saw you on MM

http://www.nmm.ac.uk/visit/exhibitions/astronomy-photographer-of-the-year/winners/earth-and-space/#panel-4
And yup, I'm the same guy...this is another one of my forum haunts 8) and my favorite one, at that.

Thanks all :o...remember you guys saw this shot first..before it was anywhere I posted it up on here and if it weren't for Arctic Shooter and Celestron showing me the competition I wouldn't have thought to apply. (I think it was the two of you anyway, sorry if I got the names wrong..It was so long ago now that I applied to it)
