Hej hej, Micke - That's the extent of my Swedish, but, thought you might enjoy it!

Though the image is dim there is a beautiful star field lurking in the background. Look forward to seeing what you get when the moon is gone.

Pretty cool image Micke!

Like Steve said, the starfield is really nice.

Nice catch on the target considering the rough sky conditions. Glad that you fought the conditions and gave it a shot!

Hejsan Steve! Another word for saying hi in swedish :)
Yeah i dont know but i think the jpeg is making the image turn very dim. Dont know why that is. Strange when i look at it on the desktop it looks more brighter but when showing it here on this site it turns alot more dim..
I think i will start using Flickr more and upload a link instead for full resolution.
