Thanks Greg!

I sated my desire to compare mine vs a large scope. I (re)discovered CHART32 and it has the best rendition out there. I nailed the colours IMO but of course theirs is far superior to mine in terms of resolution and depth. That's hardly surprising, but I think I've made a decent show of it. Reduced scale comparison below. Mine is on the left

An interesting comparison. Considering you're not on an exotic high mountain top and you don't have a 3 metre mirror or whatever they have you've held the comparison quite well.

Not a bad comeback image. Pretty good comparison to the CHART32 too.

Thanks Greg & Chris.

I don't normally do a comparison like this because it's somewhat akin to masochism . But I usually like to get some validation on the fidelity of my colour processing and I was so chuffed to see how close I was I just had to share

A great image, I really enjoyed browsing around the full frame version. And welcome back Marcus

Thanks very much Suavi! Yes, the background galaxies, especially when they're partially resolved, are as interesting as the subject! I don't know how many there are in the frame, but there are lots!
