It's beautiful!

Amateur astrophotographer Syed Roshaan created the photo by focusing a telescope sharply on Sirius, and then moving the telescope around while taking a long-exposure photograph with a DSLR camera.

It really is!!! I love things like this.

I had to put a ban on myself visiting the Hubble site every day, too many hours spent staring into space, haha.

There's some amazing things on there though. It's truly addictive.

You mean images like this one?

I'm a bit of an addict, myself. Love the Hubble Site!
