Right at the start there the 3D was really real looking, fantastic stuff. A jolly lot of work has gone into it.

Thanks for posting.

That is a truly stunning and even somehow mystical video. I watched it on a large TV and just by trying to comprehend and appreciate the Milky Way was getting goose bumps...

Thank you for sharing Rick.

It's a very cool video! Some interesting stuff in the comments by the author as well. At the risk of being accused of gratuitous advertising (of a product in which I hold no financial interest) he did use PixInsight for some of the processing.

Cheers,
Rick.
