Sorry guy's,trying to get It fixed .

Louie,
The link worked fine for me - must be fixed...

I think of Omega Centauri and I think summer is coming. You know, there are some theories that OC is a small galaxy stripped by its close encounter with the Milky Way Galaxy.

The link works now, Louie, and it was worth the wait.
Well done.

Hi Louie,

Nice! The image scale you shot this at highlights the size of this beast! M13 in comparison at 530mm would be puny!

Eric

Another beauty Louie!
