This is an HDR composite shot- the background stars were exposed for 4 hours while the eclipsed moon drifted just outside the frame. This was necessary to bring out the faint details of the galaxy. The full sized photo is a 200 megapixel mosaic, captured with 3 cameras working simultaneously. All captured from my backyard in Arizona in the wee hours Tuesday morning.

Damn that's cool, really makes you wonder what's out there.

I sometimes think I should get an adaptor to put my dslr on my wee little telescope, and then I see your images and think, “why bother!?”

I don’t think anyone does astrophotography better than you.
