Thanks Lee, really is a beautiful field to shoot, hard to find anything similar with so much subtle beauty going on in such a modest sized area...maybe some fields in and around the Vela SNR..?

Hi Mike,
Congratulations on producing one of the most beautiful astro-images !
Excellent framing.
Excellent colours and detail.
Excellent creation of balance between the strikingly different objects within the field of view.
Excellent!
Cheers,
Tim

It is a great area with so much contained within the field. Colour is nice, the Detail in M4 is excellent and the dark streaks are a real highlight. Always wanted to do this field too but never put the STXL on the FSQ when I owned it. Should have done that. Well done.

You're converting us to the wider field.
This one is exquisite.
Well done!

An absolute cracker of an image, Mike. I think this even rivals the Rho Ophiuchi images of Rogelio Bernal Andreo. Congrats!
Cheers,
