Wow! What a stunning result! 270mins luminance and 270mins colour! No wonder it's so smooth and rich!

I'm quite sure this'll be on APOD soon!

Beautiful result, my friend.

ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS !!!!!

Well done, I'm also amazed that it was discovered in 1789. Imagine the scopes they had then compared to our modern gear.

Cheers Dietmar.
