Thanks Ralf. I had more open shutter time in this photo than any other. Over 9hrs total. Whats cool about astrophotography is that one can always go back to take more photos, year after year and add to the resolution. But Im to excited to get to the next object.

That's a lot of stars... this gives some sense of how big the universe is... Very beautiful colors and formations. The quality is great for an astronomy shot! Impressive!
