Very fine indeed

Thanks Mike & Trish!

I've been on these guys for a few hours too - yours is a great capture and very nicely processed. I wonder how close is the noise floor to where you've black clipped it? It almost looks like some of the fainter structure in the image is trying to peek through - I know it's a matter of taste and monitor calibration though!
Great field, isn't it?
cheers,
Andrew.

Thanks Andrew. Very eagle eyed to see those from the small jpeg! There are certainly some wispy bits below M66 in the luminance, and a long prominence running up from 3628.

Unusually for me I took a conservative approach to stretching this data, but they are there with a little more encouragement...they just didn’t survive into the LRGB combo.

No eagle eyes here! I’d just spent a day on the same bit of sky and been through exactly the same thought process. The area is so rich with background galaxies it’s definitely worth seeing what you can squeeze out!

I’ll see what I can rustle up
