hi guys,

I have gotten featured at Universe Today with one of my recent images.
Also Karel Teuwen's image has been chosen for the overview.
Just another great collaboration so to say.

the close up on M81 was taken with my belvoed 9" TMB Apo at f/7 using a televue reducer; collecting 8.5 hours of total exposure time.
please find all data and images here:

here is the story by Tammy Plottner where you will also find Karel's gorgeous image (again):
