Cheers Steve, yes there is something about a galaxy surrounded by lots of other smaller more distant ones huh?

You got some nice colour in the core there as well.
The stars look great. Good to hear the new filters worked well.

But then we are on a galaxy imaging mission!

Cheers Greg, yes uncanny that we imaged it at essentially the same time, it is great not really needing darks and flats, really makes processing very easy.

only the famous Hubble close up.
Is yours the first of such a high standard?

There are a couple but you are right not many, makes teh fact that both Greg and I spied it at the same time quite coincidental

Thanks Rick, still no mega data I know but seriously I just don't have the patience any more
seems I have become more contented with a semi deep image than a super deep one
At least the size and speed of the AG12 does allow for this "lazyness"
to still produce something decent, oh well...
