Wow that's remarkable stuff indeed. Im so glad I had a part in initiating the big effort!
I just knew when you got such a fast scope and a high quality cooled astro camera that a long imaging session on the one object would show things rarely or never seen before.
Amateur systems might not be able to match the resolution of professional observatories but if one is prepared to spend many hours on one area of sky at a dark site with fast high quality scopes and astro cams, the depth of the image could go beyond what has been imaged before even from professional observatories. Imagine the cost of say, 10 hours on the AAT or Keck. It would be rarely done unless there was a specific observation need. Thus its up to the advanced and dedicated with their own equipment to capture these amazing things. Well done!
