    Astronomy Picture of the Day

    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:

    Cheers,
    Stephen

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

    http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120426.html

    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
