Nice shot, Martin....bit noisy though. However, the galaxy shows up nicely. The dust lane is quite prominent and the core looks tight:)

The crop is the best pic:)

Thank you renormalised.

I need longer exposures on this object to get rid of the noise.

Always a favourite. Stirs the imagination.

And it doesnt even look like a sombrero.
It looks more like a flying caucer :P

Good one Martin. Small one this. You need some more focal length to do this justice. Looks a little on the reddish side on my monitor. Well captured,guided and framed. Well done.

Indeed, jewel in the sky.
