figured as much.

just a tad bigger than the 6inch reflector I used to have as a kid.

got rid of it because there was too much light around the city :cry:

when I worked for the defence dept. I went to mt palomar and checked out the 200 incher. they wouldnt let me have a go though :cry:

What the...

I see it, but I don't believe it. Outer space doesn't look like this!

It's been done in your garage with coloured lights and a poster. Just like the moon landing. :wink:

Congratulations - a seriously different kind of image.

in space, nobody can hear you go "Wow!"

Always look forward to your space pics Big V.

"Wow". I just had to say it. Very different to what you normally see and very different to my impression of space.
