Your image has prompted me to place it on my ever growing list of targets to image with the RC. Well done.

thanks very much Paul - have posted an less magenta version.

Excellent image, lovely overall look very natural but highly detailed. If I can't see dots or worms then.....you have clearly mastered the use of decon/wavelets application Ray This image clearly shows that a $70K RC/CDK or any large long focal length scope for that matter really, or 30+hr exposures, are just simply not needed to produce World Class galaxy images

Ok, here's another one of these:

Who still wants a long FL CDK

Thanks very much Mike - phew, no dots!!. A big scope sure would be better, but thankfully it is not totally essential in Australian seeing - mind you, better seeing would be nice as well .
