One expects nothing less than technical brilliance from the likes of Carl and Dave Grennan but I'll tell ya what hit me first looking at that pic. The image scale imediately made me think of Immanuel Kants' 'Island Universes'. Thats perhaps the deepest thought this Newsagent has ever had

Wow, great to see such a great result after all that work. Liked it when I first went to the page, then clicked and the big version came up :bigshock:
Loads of other galaxies captured in that starfield as well. Lovely image.

Thanks for the comments lads it was great to put this one to bed. Maybe I’ll have another look at this with the C14 later this year. If we ever get clear skies again .
