As to the image, great colour and detail. Nicely done Mike. Love the layers in the thick dust cloud. The amount of IFN in the field is incredible.
Thanks Paul, it's a area of crazy swaths of faint dust, the giant P shaped piece was just too cool to not adjust the rig for in order to frame it with Barnards Galaxy. I almost didn't bother with the rig adjustment and was going to plonk the giant P more centrally in the frame...glad I didn't, I think this may be a unique framing even?...

If I had framed The galaxy in the centre sounds like I might have caught that PA161..?
