That's awesome. Begs for a mosaic some time in the future :)

I have to agree with Troy. It's awesome and it needs a mosaic. :)

Agreed, a beautiful shot. Nice blue star definition in the galaxy itself; lovely nebulosity showing through. Saturation is very nicely done. :thumbsup:

[Slawomir]

Echoing others, very nice shot, well done Steve :thumbsup:

To all: Thanks for the kind words and comments! It was a pity the FOV could not cover the whole galaxy,however,mosaic is not an easy cake to crack for me.
