Here is a composite mosaic of the area surrounding vdB 4. It's a
pretty reflection nebula with an interesting shape.

Wow. A setup like that and you still do mosaics?? I think you should just get rid of the telescope and point the camera at the sky.

Fascinating.
Thanks for the full-sized crop, Tom. Something always gets lost in the down-sized images.

Another very nice image Thomas shocked

I can never get used to how good some of you guys are! It makes me want to have more time to dedicate to this hobby. Sometimes I think though that it might not be just a question of time: you need also talent and you sure have it!
