		| | For me, a gentle reminder that we are not as big as we act like we think we are. This shot is very nice combination of black, blue, and he red. |

		| | OK, I have to admit this one's a little disappointing for me. The capture is fantastic, but the blackness of space is about 80% gray here, and that lack of contrast robs the image of much of its impact. So close to awesomeness! 8 |

		| | Beautiful celestial shot, I'd like to try something like this someday... The stars look so cool when they're like exes like that. |

		| | I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... this was one of the few images I scored a 10. One of my criteria for scoring a 10 is "Would I have this photo on my wall?" and for this one, I surely would. 
 Stellar photography instills such a sense of wonderment in me, I grew up looking at photographs like this in glossy books, and this picture would stand up against any others that I have seen. Simply awesome!

		| | As I wrote in another entry comment... I find it hard to assess astronomy photos in the way I would photos of any other subject, considering their specialized nature.  This looks quite professional and attractive, however. |

		| | Very nicely done.  I don't know a lot about this genre of photography, so I can't really tell you anything other than my personal opinion.  I like the contrasts between the blues and the pinks and the sense of another world that it conveys. |

		| | I'm sorry but this is not photography to me. I know how this works, hooking up to the telescope, etc. I dont like it because without a telescope, this wouldn't be possible, and I guess I prefer photos straight from a camera. |
