Very nice John! 8)
All you need now is to shoot shorter exposures for the trapezium area and merge them together... wink

I'm really glad you got to enjoy not only a good barbecue, but also some amazing skies & equipment along with it...

Ding or no Ding

David, I feel your pain...

To be honest with you, this is a VERY OBSCURE AREA, and the TOS says that ONLY you can rate for COMPLETED transactions... so you would be breaking the TOS if you rated these individuals, since there was no exchange of goods/money.

On the other hand, I find it LOW for people to commit and then back out... unless there is a VERY STRONG reason for it, but 3x times, that's a bit too much. :S

It is completely up to you on how to proceed, but I would just let it go, and avoid doing any business with these people in the future.


Good luck!

M106~Improved?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Jason, I like both! 8)

This one has more vivid colors, while the original shot seems to be showing more of the faint arms of the galaxy... (at least on my LCD monitor it does... wink )


Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!
