Jonathan,

Thank you very much for putting together this wonderful montage of images
and for posting them here on IceInSpace.

A recurrent theme that pops up in astronomy forums is that imaging anything other than
the Moon and planets on a large Dob is not practically possible. Reading some commentary,
one could be lead to believe that imaging DSO's on a large aperture Dob cannot
be done and that one would need to invest in a second dedicated equatorial mount
to achieve this goal. Well, as they also say, seeing is believing and your results
might give other large Dob owners the encouragement they need to dabble in
some DSO astrophotography with their scopes. Thank you!

Best Regards
