These are great Louie, I like the 3D feel of M82 and M51 is always a crowd pleaser, the M014 looks a bit soft though, must have been poor seeing, although it was probably fairly low from Jims observing site..?

Nice exercise.

Mike.thanks so much! M104 Soft? yes mate,I found most of the data from the 32" soft with FWHM readings of around 8" but hey,It was great to see what detail a 32" could pull out and with very short exposure times too.

Thanks for your time again Mike!

wow M82 i thought was the pick but i loved the background galaxies that were present in the M51 shot

Hi David

Thanks for your time! yeah back ground galaxies pop with ease with such a big scope mate...wouldn't you just love the 32" on top of a mountain ! hey,don't cost nothing to dream..hehe

Here's another favorite....love the dust around the core,and color of this one,and again low in exposure time for a galaxy me think.

NGC 3628 (Leo Galaxy)
