I was elated upon learning that my lunar eclipse image made it as the AAPOD for 24 February! The composite image was actually taken during the total lunar eclipse last 10 December 2011 and was submitted the day after. I was pleasantly surprised that they eventually chose it. This is my second AAPOD and hopefully not the last. Really made my day!
Congratulations! tani

Re-processed Seagull Nebula
A good astro-friend gave me a book on astro-processing. I applied the new techniques on my recent seagull image and here is the result. I increased the contrast to darken the background and cropped the whole image to center the seagull.
