Tiny M74

Hi everyone, I took this image on the 15 and 16 of October while chasing around clouds in between my actual objects that I was trying to capture. I wasn't sure how it would turn out being so small in the FOV, but it's a little larger than I thought it would be. I might actually try to get some more data on this and see if I can improve it down the track. Man I wish I had a 2" Barlow, Then it would seriously be worth it. I've pushed this to the absolute limit, so is a little grainy in places.

Image details:
24 x 300 sec @ ISO 1600
with the gear in my signature.
Thanks for looking.

After seeing it up here I decided it was a little too far pushed so I made some adjustments and uploaded a second version.
