Day 21 - Sun Spots?

So after the success of my recent astrophotography shot, I combined my gear with some empty toilet roll tubes to increase the focal length and came up with this close-up of a star in the centre of the aforelinked newly-forming galaxy. I think that's 2-0 to me, Geoff, isn't it? ;)


Funny how it also resembles a close-up of a backlit eggshell too. How uncanny is that?

    Oooh, yes, I see the sun spot, although I think that if this sun really didn't want us to think it was a backlit eggshell, it should have made itself a little bit brighter and more orange. But I do love the idea. Very cleverly done and a worthy contemporary to Geoff's sunspots shot! Well done.

    A sun spot huh? - I would have easily mistaken this for a blemish on Uranus had you not pointed us in the right direction.
