Hi All,

I've been away from the boards for a while because my Dad passed away a couple of weeks ago and I just haven't had the time nor the inclination. I finally got my camera back and shot this series last night.

Details on the website as usual:

Hi Jose,

condolences for your father.

Beatiful image of a very beautiful object. I had never heard of this galaxy before, so thanks for this too.

Ciao and welcome back.

My condolences on your father. I'm glad to see you putting your hobby and skills to some theraputic use. This is a fine image. I've heard of the whale before, but never actually noticed the whale-shape. It's an apt name. Hope to see more!

Thank you all so much for all the kind comments - both for the image and for my Dad. It means a lot to me.

Thanks again,

Jose
