I started on this one last night. I was tossing up between this or the helix, but given all the recent activity on the helix I figured I'd go for 300 instead. I saw Greg's great version recently, must have missed Ray's... I'll have to go dig it up. Anyway, nice work again.

Thanks, Lee. We'll definitely do some colour as soon as we can. We'd love to do more on the Helix outer chevrons too, but they're so faint they need 2x2 binning and the new moon.

Agreed.

Thanks! Next few nights look like movies and a good book.

Cheers, John! We can see why people drove to Qld for M33.

Thanks Troy. Interesting how apart from the speckles, the arms are actually extremely faint.
