Paul,
Great image of a northern hemisphere favourite
Well done considering extremely low altitude
Did you use AutoDev or Develop for your final stretch ?
I reckon there’s a bit more detail in there somewhere as it’s such a clean image

Good grab you got on this low object, plenty of detail obtained from those dark skies. I'm jealous, I tried this with a 500mm mirror lens on a Nano Tracker a couple of weeks ago under Bottle 6 skies from the fringe of Melbourne, it's a tough one from there. Got an hour on it but through the LP the faint stuff got washed out.

Great image with fine detail. Great location for astro around the old city.

Excellent image !! No mean feat this. I tried last year from Sydney and I can see a big diff with the darker skies you've had in Bathurst. Thanks for showing
