Very nicely done Warren.

Very nice pic, lots of detail and an almost 3D effect.

I've noticed an interesting feature in this excellent image: a faint, donut-shaped haze located above and slightly left of the galaxy...

[Warhen]

Dang it PGC! That was an escaped donut and I thought I had it pretty well fixed. Your monitor's likely brighter than mine, but I shall endeavor to fix it. Thank you!

Nicely done Warren.

Interesting structure you picked up there. I haven't seen that outer debris shell before.

NM must have some excellent dark skies.

Greg.

Greg, look for Jay GaBany's v. w/ the 20" at www.comotography.com, the shell is astounding!

Such an inspiring image. Everything tight but not overdone. Immersive colour.
