Seems that we're all trying our hardest to photograph the same subject and get more detail, more sharpness etc, but you have transcended all that by re-interpreting the subject in a completely unique and artistic way that rises above mere technical purity. Your technique is very, very good and the concept and execution is just brilliant (In my opinion).
Watch out, you may have started something! You've certainly inspired me anyway 
Many thanks for sharing!

Hi Andy,
You don't know how much I appreciate your thoughts and message. We all have access to the same objects year after year. One of the reasons that I have stuck with grayscale all these years is that I like the tonality that astronomical objects present in black and white and the challenge of the wide dynamic range within the grayscale narrowband results.
