Hi Primoz, my first choice for red has since been (not officially) DQ'd so if it's any consolation my 2nd choice was your image.

Argh! Had I known about this challenge I would've entered!! I was at a star party at a dark sky site on May 31st!!! Ugh!!

Great shot of M16... and thanks to the advanced rules you could stack too! I like the diffraction spikes :)

Have you heard about cloudynights.com? There is a DSLR imaging forum that is quite active. I am a participant there (by my full name) as well. You would be welcome to post there, plus you might pick up a few tips.

This is simply an amazing image, not to take anything away from the top three (of which I'm one) but this deserved to ribbon. I've shot this DSO repeatedly over the years, and due to it's low declination in the southern sky, I have failed repeatedly. Great shot, easily one of the best.

Looks like an image pulled right off the page of Sagan's Cosmos book. Fine work. Congrats!

In astrophotographical terms, this was by far the best.

I'm almost appalled that a score of 7.5+ didn't get a ribbon. You were very unlucky.
