Hi All,

I've been away for a while on my yearly family vacation to the Virgin Islands and last night was the first clear night since I got back. This image was taken with the STL11000M and Borg 76ED.

Details on my site as well as a full size crop of the cluster:

And.. Some OT shots from the BVI:

My brother's boat and our only mode of transport for the whole trip:

Very nice.

Love those tropical island shots - very appealing.

A hot looking boat.

Greg.

Nice image Jose! The off topic images are fantastic as well. Did you do any fishing while you were there? Just wondering. smile

The image was with a refractor? What caused the diffraction spikes? They do look good, and I'm used to seeing them in my newt.
