Mark, amazing shot!
It is incredible how much the Digital SLRs are changing the Astrophotography world... they are becoming so popular, so much more affordable, and some of their shots are "almost" as good as with cooled CCDs.


Thanks for sharing!


P.S.
Used your shot for my PCs background! wink

Mark,
This is an absolutely fabulous image. I really like the way the star Propus came out in this image. Did you need any special processing in that part of the image for this bright star? Or is this pretty much how the image stacked up?
