Manuel,

These are beautiful images! Thanks for providing the pertinent information about them on your web site. They will go in my "inspiration" folder.

Manuel,
these are outstanding images.
Crisp and clear details. Congrats.
30 minutes exposure for a single image. Means your Paramount is really
100% polar aligned!
After all that - Who needs Hubble?
On Hubble images the stars have to much ugly spikes...

Aloha
Gerald

I can expose one single image of 8 hours and the image will not suffer from field rotation (measured <0.03ยบ). The Paramount is awesome in polar alignment.

Excuse me, but I want the Hubble :)

Superb images, Manuel. As others have said, processing for details and contrast are beautiful and eye catching.
