Very pleasing. You've captured the warm colour, extent, and overall feel nicely.

Nice colour and well resolved stars. It seems to draw your eye from the edge of the field and then into the core of the cluster.

Nice one David. Nice star colours coming through.

Very nice, David!

[DJT]

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. SkyVikings recent image wa as reference point as initially the colours were pretty much non existent. Colour saturation in PI was really useful to bring them out.




Cheers. Quite literally 1st search result returned on google for NGC104. What was that done with? Stars are much tighter than mine so I assume the old AP?
