I can see why this is a popular photo target. Very pretty. This shot with only about 7 exposures came out better than I expected.

Will try this one another time with more exposure and with a refractor for sharpness.First time imaged a number of these targets and it is quite exciting seeing the results after an all-nighter.

N11, Nikon D70 7 x 45 secs.

Greg.

Greg,
Wow, you had a busy night - I would guess you were up all night. All very nice images. The tarantula is one that is out of my range. Thanks for sharing all of them.
