Mike n Trish, thank you commenting on the background galaxies. I love looking at that sort of stuff. There in not a serious amount of data. I'm a bit light on the colour data. There are as few as 4 X 200 sec subs for colour, and the luminance is 18 X 600 sec. Many a bit bloated with the winds – I hate when that happens. But in the end, we do what we can with what we capture on the night.

I suspect there is much detail in the core that you can tweak out with some judicious use of gamma/curves.
Nice one |
Cheers on the thumbs up Peter. I'm sure with more processing, there could be more detail lurking within. But that extra processing work may wake up the residents within.....

Thanks Paul. Being a mobile imager, we work with what we have and bend to whatever the weather gods present us with. Unfortunately, this doesn't leave much time for the luxury of gathering the amounts of data we would all prefer to allow for a more straight forward processing run. I love the way all those little galaxies are aligned in different orientations. There really isn't a right way up to the universe. But those pesky guide stars are a different matter….
Once again, thank you for your comments.
