Clear skies,

THats brilliant to be put on such a renowned website!

Thank you gentlemen! Santa came early this year ... not that I am complaining. :lol:

Merry Xmas to all of my buddies here on Irish Astronomy and all the best for the New Year!

Many, Congrats Anthony.

Such a wonderful photo deserves no less than to be shown in such places.
I bet most people who look at this magnificent shot have no idea of the complexity involved in staging such a masterpiece. I can only imagine your apprehension when you processed the film, wondering if perhaps somehow if by some misfortune, the piece of film had been ruined 6 months previously!

Sometimes you see the odd APOD and wonder 'how did that get there?' The only question that springs to mind with your photo is 'Why did it take so long to get there?!'

Very special indeed!

Merry christmas Anthony and looking forward to seeing some more of your wonderful photos in 2007.

Merry Xmas to all of my buddies here on Irish Astronomy and all the best for the New Year!

Even me?

:lol:

Nice work there!

Amazing image Anthony,
How did you manage to get all those white balloons flying in formation like that :lol:
