Image of the day

Thanks for the comments guys.

Tom and Eric,
It is interesting that you mentioned the fires.., I went out about 7 days after the worst of it. (Actually one was still burning /smoldering/ when I went out.) The sky was reasonably clear, but someone told me that a little ash and a little dew could ruin optics. Seems somewhat extreme - can dust and dew be a problem as well?

Vince,
The image looks really great - Congrats!

Too bad about the less than cooperative skies for some of the nights. But it looks like the night(s?) for this image was very cooperative.

Nice cluster Floyd.

I tend to like a heavier satuation myself. Both of the images are nice though.

Tyler,
Nice pic of M31. That Micro Nikkor looks like it works real well for you.
