Thanks...I suspect this arachnid is a tough one to see in the UK. (We were touring the Costwolds a few weeks ago...beautiful countryside, so much history! it makes Oz look bereft....our pollies allow developers to bulldoze way too much )

That is a nice rendering of this object. Resolution is very nice. The colour is superb, something I often struggle to obtain but never seem to get the same richness.
Do I see some egg shaped stars in the left side area? I recall you mentioning that you have finally got the distance right on the flattener.

Ta Paul, yes there is a little elongation toward the left. An annoying tilt in the camera that was in last year's data (which is also in this image) which I needed to tame the noise with this season's data.

I'd only uploaded the HD version....the 4k version looks sweet on my
5k iMac screen.

Congrats on the APOD Peter!
Apart from the fabulous depth and detail, your image has an amazing 3D quality to it. Feels more like you are flying towards it through space rather than looking at it from a distant vantage point.

Thanks gentlemen. When I first frequented IIS there were only a handful of deep sky imagers that were producing some excellent images. My critiques were (likely still are ) seen as abrasive, but in my defence, it likely comes from my aviation background where near enough is simply not good enough.
I have to observe now there are many imagers in Oz (and who post regularly here) doing absolutely superb work, which I’ve often admired and pondered “ Wow!, how the heck did they do that! ?
Sure, I enjoy the occasional recognition/glittering prize , but it’s also great to see so many other astrophotographers in Oz raising the bar and being recognised both here and internationally.

Thanks Andy...APOD's are hard to predict, but nice to get the seal of approval
from none other than NASA
That said, time to let this post sink down the list and move on
