Nice looking image Fernando. Maybe you could boost the saturation a bit, but the detail is quite nice. I really like the field of view too.

Indeed I am Steve, despite the transitory dry nebulosity that appeared on the sky, uncommon this time of the year. To illustrate, out of 70 frames of luminance captured, I had to discard 33 of them !!



I think you should, it is a beautiful galaxy.



Thanks so much Rick.



Thanks for the generosity of your comment Placidus. I think you are not going to regret of capturing this beautiful galaxy. I will be looking forward to your outcome.
