I can't wait to get a decent sized scope to shoot this thing with.

Gidday Ray,
What a wonderful sight! Including the Chandra image gives it a real 3D feel. Did you put the pics together yourself?
I'm with you mate. A 'scope that can see so far you can see the back of your own head!

I'm on the lookout for a 12 - 14 inch OTA only. Either Meade or Celetron or something else. I want to be able to shoot objects like the ring nebula or the Sombrero without them appearing like a tiny circle on the film.

No Jim, these images was already like that. I pulled it off one of Nasa's pages somewhere.
