Description

I have resisted the urge to post this image for several months due to my feeing that it is a rather poor example of this target (too much noise suppression due to poor sky)  It has grown on me, however, and after being inspired by Kurt’s fine example, I decided what the heck.  I made this decision after viewing it on my iPhone, on which all images look much better than they are due to a small size. So maybe I will regret this rash choice. On my way home from Australia (Sydney), where it surprised me that Orion passes directly over head, inverted of course.  Man, what I would give to image from the Blue Mountains.
