I have added two more images to the growing collection taken with the new PL16803.

This time The Lobster Nebula and M6 and the surrounding Milky Way

Hope you enjoy looking http://www.pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/recent_images

I must have the slowest internet in the country, took ages to get less than quarter of the image.  Last week I saw some of your images and they loaded in about 30 seconds, but not tonight.

I bet it is good, they always are.

Lester, when you go to my pbase site select the "large" size in the "other sizes" menu at the very bottom of any individual image page and you will see a lower res and smaller version of the image, still good quality but will load much quicker  then, if you want to see the biggest version just click on "original" in the other sizes menu 

Good reason to vote for the National Broadband Network

Thanks Guys, glad you enjoyed the views 

Just a clarification, I know I am not here on SCP that frequently, I don't seem to have the time to be active on all the astro communities that are out there these days so I know it might look like I only post my images here and never hang around to comment on others shots. Although it might seem so, I am certainly not of the ilk of just "look at my shots" with no interest in what others are doing, so I'd like to opologise if it seems this way  I post my images here in case anyone would like to see'em and I don't expect shovels of praise or sweeping accolades in return, if you enjoy'em that's great, no words necessary   

Cheers
