Following in the wake of M&T's splendid lead I had gathered a few luminance crumbs
that they had not vacuumed up in the 0.5 metre , and captured some a few nights ago with my paltry 0.4 metre
....another hour or five should clean up the noise

Resolution is pretty tidy so far. The link is 'ere

Woohoo A Galactoshootout!
Very tidy indeed Peter

Hi Peter,
that looks very sharp to me.
Please keep going on that one with some RGB.


cheers
Allan.

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

A splendid result Peter. Extremely tight. It is interesting that pretty well every distant faint and tiny-on-the-sky galaxy we found in 40 hours of exposure you found in 90 min.

We're surprised you were able to do adaptive optics. The western half of the field in particular is just about devoid of usable guide stars. If our observatory gets hit by lightning and we have to start again, we're going to have to investigate AO.

Very fine, detailed image.

Nah, no shootout.
My suburban skies put a firm limit on what I can do...that said, we are looking at a possible move away from the big smoke...well...maybe.

[Slawomir (Suavi)]

Lovely resolution and fine detail Peter. Please treat us with your images more often

[multiweb (Marc)]

Outstanding details Peter.
You're going to do some color? Looking forward to it.

You have the gift of understatement, Peter.
Superb!

Well, while it won’t be a Chart 32 image (and, yes, I think these are in a different league.....soooooo much fine detail...hard to put a price on that and makes about as much sense as saying a Daewoo can almost keep pace with a Ferrari 488...it can’t ) if the weather holds, hopefully some Ha + RGB will let me finally cross it off my to-do list.

Thanks...Sorry...been busy with other projects..but happy to upload my shabby efforts from time to time

[marc4darkskies (Marcus)]

Can't wait to see some "shabby" colour!

[Paul Haese]

Nice detail and tight stars Peter. Need some colour to top it off now.

Thanks guys, yes colour will follow, but Martin's APOD today will be a hard act to follow.

Well done Martin!
