That’s so sweet Bill! I really like Triangulum Galaxy! Such cool arms.

I do most of my deep space in Joshua Tree, where are you setting up east of San Diego?

Congrats on the Featured Astro Photo Bill!

Missed this - that is a VERY nice image of M33. It is large but the low surface brightness makes it tougher than many realize. You have brought out excellent color and detail in this version.
