Hello David, its nice to be back . Missed the forum while away in Africa.
Yup, these are amazing pics. Following his tweets while he was in space was amazing.

Trying to catch up with the forum now, so how are things around? I notice a few new members who are quite active, that's nice .

Excellent photos. They're beautiful, thanks for the heads up on the page. A pity that the comments have turned to the usual God versus Science debate.

Great shots! I loved the astronaut working on his arch nemesis

I wonder what sort of telephoto you need to get Ayers rock to fill the frame from space?
