Hi, this just does not look that pretty. I am convinced the best views are closer up with a good reflector so you get great star colors and wonderful diffraction spikes. Anyway, this was 4x5min ISO1600 Canon 20D through my AP Traveler with reducer. I would sure hate to tape those wires across my scope to get the fake spikes!

After Robert Watters' wonderful M22, this will indeed shine for him!

Thanks for looking!
Ivan

OK, Ivan. Just let me trim down the truss poles on the Obsession so the DRebel will reach focus. smile I hope this dry(er) trend will hold till the new moon!

Wonderful shot. And congrats on your M31 picture of the day!

Looks great to me.
(He He, don't let Roland know you're considering adding diffraction spikes.) wink wink grin

I shot this a while back, I also think the spikes add to the shot. smile
