Hi all,
I'm a happy chappy today, because this image has been selected as NASA's "Astronomy Picture of the Day" for April 26th 2012
This is not my first image published, but it's the most high-profile to date. If you're interested, here it is:

Thanks guys! It was nice to have that image featured as an APOD. The archived link is:

Daz, I basically set the camera up on a tripod and took an image every 3 minutes for about 1 hr, and then stacked them all using the free software Startrails (www.startrails.de).
Cheers,
Stephen
