It's already great and excellently processed, very impressive and I'm glad the 12" is working so well.

Thanks Allan, I'll have to try and put something together over the weekend. I might try and gather a bit more data in the next few days after moonset. My main aim is to get detail in those distant galaxies and perhaps pull more of the halo out.

I like that brown/yellow section at the core, that's really well shown in your image and something I've not really noticed in other images. You've shown the dust plumes without the overprocessing that makes one wonder if its a processing artefact.
Great work. How much is the AOX adding here?

Thanks Greg. The GSO has quite nice optics. That combined with the seeing and the AOX gives great definition.
I do think the AOX adds quite a bit in good seeing. I have compared images from last years attempt of this galaxy and this years. The seeing was quite similar. The detail is significantly better.
That said, during the week I had one night where the seeing was horrid. The stars were very round but the detail was quite blurred. So in good seeing the AOX really adds to the detail, but in average to bad seeing there is no real advantage.
