Thanks a lot Adrian. Not sure about hundreds but there are quite a few!

Cheers Fred. Glad you like it! I know what you're saying about noise but I was afraid of pushing harder because there are in fact a lot of very faint stars & galaxies in the field that I didn't want to obliterate. You do end up with a bit of a grainy effect, but I actually prefer that look anyway.

How mesmerising is that galaxy core. The resolution of the dust swirling around the center - and the colours not overdone. Sure some extra data would be handy, but why quibble - the quality is already way out beyond top 10% mark for amateurs, surely.

Holy extra-galactic mega cow Marcus

Hey, many thanks Rob! Always chuffed to achieve the wow and pop factors! I've got to say I haven't seen many amateur versions of this done with sub-20" scopes that match the resolution I'm getting - makes me feel warm & fuzzy
