Just stock in my mind so badly. May be tonight will have a dream of taking this kind of images...

Thanks for that Sassan. Beautiful image.

You are welcome Don.

With rate at which travel to space is progressing for a layman (Anousheh Ansari's travel for eg), I wouldn't be surprise to actually see at a reasonable price, in our life time, we get the opportunity of an outer space photography tour to click the suns-sets of near by galaxies. I would not be sure about the focal length reach at that time but future seems exciting.
