Paolo thats a nice looking target although it appears a bit noisey, personally I'd expect better definition for that much data, is this the full frame? (or a crop)

could also do with some flats and darks IMO as I can see some dust motes

Nice shot, Paolo :)

Looks a little noisy but that might due to it being cropped and zoomed in, as well as the usual jpeg compression.

It's a full - frame. It's a galaxy with little details, you see the photos of Gendler and K.Crawford…. same thing. The sky background I don't like smooth but ... it is a matter of personal taste.
Ciao Trevor and thanks for your opinion I augur you serene skies
