This pic made APOD! 2007 August 21

I was just thinking yesterday that this pic was a perfect candidate for APOD.

Congratulations, you're famous!

At first the dome looks almost like you put a snow globe in front of your camera and then used a red light to highlight it. The sky is terrific! A very pretty shot.

There are always some great shots in a free study but this is just completely outstanding. Beautiful colours and a wonderful other
world-y feel to it. I guess I can understand why some people prefer different shots (though for me this was top 10 minimum) what I cant understand is how this 'only' scored 6.4436, because if that isnt a 7 then I dont know what is.

Magical and ethereal

The streaks of red light around the dome are wicked, and that sky! Well done!

You gotta love the sky. I'm not sure why but I really like the photo. I can't think of anything to improve it or that is wrong. Sorry not much of a help but maybe a 9 will do? Good luck to ya - just keep your feet planted on the ground!
