Thank you Conor. I still enjoy the ancient craft. It's lonely in the film astrophotography world. When the film dries up I'll limit myself do deep sky observations and enjoy the work of others. Thanks again.

That's pretty bloody awesome for a single 30 minute shot. And on film to boot; Very nice work, James.
