Greg,
Lovely image! The wide fields are indeed very attractive.

I love your southern exposure - you get so much of the sky I can't get to. Please keep the images coming.

Greg,
Great shot! Thanks for sharing. This object is on my list but since it is so far south for me I will need perfect conditions to get something approaching your image.

This image is a feast for the eyes. Thanks for sharing. I am pretty sure I could never approach this fine an image under the moon conditions you had..

Jose,
Great job on these Barnards - they can be hard to get sometime and you have certainly done it here. I love the M24 widefield. I love those widefield shots.
