Award-winning photographer Josh Dury captured this stunning picture of the Milky Way over Easter Island and some of its famous Maoi. From his Instagram post: "A truly unforgettable night from one of the darkest places on Earth, surrounded by a place and a community that is close to my heart. One of the most powerful, emotional moments of my life."

Pillars of Creation AKA Eagle nebula/M16
Another ambitious project. I have shot this target previously at lower focal length but wanted to get real close to the Pillars so used Celestron C11 at 1950mm pushing the limits of autoguiding. Each Sub 300sec in SHO.Flickr

Finally tried out my new tiny telescope on Rho Ophiucchi yesterday night. This target is pretty much the driving factor behind the purchase of a wider angle scope.Flickr
