Viva la fast Newt, SX camera and short subs  = great combo

Well I'm home Ray
...aaaand I have had another look at this on my good screen and in nice softly lit evening surrounds at home....
I have to say that any perceived processing flaws or equipment induced artifacts are completely inconsequential and do not prevent this image being as close to a perfect galaxy image that one could hope for with equipment such as yours. It shows lovely balanced colours and has details and an overall quality and fidelity rarely seen, even in images captured by much larger, more traditional long focal length and more expensive systems, using ridiculously longer exposures than yours.
Certainly an image to be very proud of - congratulations
