As if you don't have enough business adventures already Roland, I think you need to start making poster prints of these awesome images you've been taking lately! I would love to put them up in my son and daughter's room!!! (they're only 2 and 1 but you gotta start them early!)

Beautiful Bubble!

Hello Rolando,

I had never seen such a rich close-up of this object 8O
What's that green "caterpillar" doing inside the bubble? wink
I hope you get the chance to collect more data soon!

Ciao Rolando

Spectacular, Rolando! I'm looking forward to what the additional exposures will reveal.

It was interesting to compare this unfinished version of Roland's to the Hubble image at the link below:

http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/entire_collection/pr2000004a/large_web

Roland's image needs to be cropped and rotated to line up; it will be interesting to compare the final version. Amazing stuff!

Best regards,

Paul
