Please see

http://www.avertedimagination.com/img_pages/kleine_Ina_vertical.html.

These are the same image, the former in landscape orientation, and the
latter in traditional north-up orientation.

In my eye this photo stands alongside the Hubble Ultra Deep Field as
the most awe-inspiring astrophoto I have seen.

Note to Chris: Don't try this at home. The computers that Alan uses,
from 'scope to final image, aren't available in Colorado, anyway :-]

Same equipment catching Jupiter, Saturn and especially Venus along
with our physically dark Selene/moon should be impressive, especially
if given 4+ bandpass filters and thus 4+ stacked images for the
natural mineral color/hue saturation.
