Thanks Ian, the 3D effect was something I particularly wanted to bring out, glad you liked it.

Remarkable.

Thanks a lot Allan. I haven't really heard that long shadow mentioned before either, but it's pretty obvious in deep images like this. It's such a cool nebula.

Thank you Ross, I was happy to see so much detail in the data and it was great fun to try bringing it all out in the image.

Fantastic image Rolf - I visited your web site as I was keen to see what is possible with a 12.5" Reflector and you really have set a benchmark there - excellent images!
