Great image - worth entering for the Astronomy Picture of the Year Competition?

Thanks - I'm not sure it is that good though. I think there'd be dark mutterings from pro-am photographers. Perhaps it'll be selected for BAA Picture of the Week - I haven't made that yet (and it is not for want of trying ;) David
