Antony,

That's a wonderful shot. The detail in the nebula is great. I really like the wispy white at the top of the image. I also like the wide field framing.

Thanks for sharing!

Impressive! I'm looking at a new scope for the home - is there anything comparable to the SkyWatch / Startravel series in the US? Just worried shipping across the pond could kill a deal.
