I absolutely adore your full size photo. To think this was done in a city environment is unbelievable.

But more wonderful, is how your photos carry that 80s space vibe through into the photo. I cannot get enough of that, forgive me, ET esque style and I thank you for sharing this amazing picture. It's like the Universal logo from the good old days.

I apologize if something serious as space astronomy is taken by me as nostalgia pop culture but I honestly love the look you have captured. Much better than the JWST in my opinion. :)

If you have any more similar space pictures with lots of empty space please DM me! Thank you thank you

Thanks for the compliment!

I can't explain the 80s feel, but my image does have similar quality compared to the 60s big telescope's image, like this one, it was taken by 200" Hale telescope at Palomar observatory, 50 years ago!

I'm working on another JWST target NGC 628, 30 million light-years away, a really beautiful 2-arm spiral galaxy perfectly face to us, I'm gonna share it when it's done!
