Thanks so much guys.
Col, that must have been a cool project.
Allan, cheers mate,Chart 32 have done the only other full colour deep shot of the field and as you might expect given its pedigree and location, is quite wonderful 
Cheers Greg, I couldnt agree more
Dave, I am just lazy...
Andrew...  all good fun, some people just say such silly things sometimes
Thanks again all 
Mike

So they have Mike:
http://www.chart32.de/index.php/component/k2/item/222
I had only checked with google.
They did over 13 hours of integration.
Wouldn't you love to use their equipment & location?
cheers

Cheers Pete and Russ I was quite happy with how this came together and the two galaxies tearing each other apart is so amazing

Dear Mike,
what you have achieved with a 12" Newt is truly amazing.
That scope is so fast & camera so sensitive that you can
take top pictures only rivaled by multi million dollar setups.
cheers

Wow! Lovely image - so many galaxies in the background! And since I just started putting together an LRGB image myself (one of my first ones), I get a better appreciation of your ability Mike to balance colours and show detail in galaxies. A standard to aim for, really

Well thank you Allan, it is quite clear that large aperture long focal length compound scopes do very nice jobs on galaxies particularly from high steady sky locations but with care and some skill, we can certainly get more than respectable results with truly amateur sized and priced gear closer to sea level

Thank you very much Suavi
Don't worry practice makes perfect...

I've just been having a nice little journey through the background of this image. A wonderful array of big and small galaxies. Nice one.

Cheers Rod, totally agree, that's one of the great things about galaxy fields, Mike and Trish have done some great examples with their goliath scope in Orange too
