I had always thought that Hershel’s Ray was larger than that but I’m happy to be corrected!

Both are showing good depth and detail so far Andy but more data is always wanted

Very neat and sharp as.

Nice work, Andy!
Colin, Marc & Rick, thanks for the encouragement - hoping to finish these off as soon as Melbourne's weather permits

One thing though, without a Moon you can get pretty good results in NB, especially relatively bright objects like these, from suburbia . Dark sites make a big difference for deep Lum gathering and deep RGB (as apposed to when just gathering RGB largely for star colour only). Since you have to travel (and get permission to leave ) I'd be saving trips to dark sites for deep gradient free LRGB shooting

Cheers Mike - you're correct of course.
Unfortunately I have large trees in my neighbour's backyard that block the views NE-NW so Thor's is harder to image from home - and it's been on the bucket list for a long, long time, so...

Hopefully the Sombrero & M83 can be targeted next trip away.
