Just came across this thread... first off, yet another superb image Paul, well done
Secondly, alongside many others here who have seen ample of your magnificent work over a number of years, I think it is extremely disappointing that some nobody troll was able to make those accusations (notwithstanding that mods can't be everywhere at once). While I applaud you for putting up the raw data, it should've been completely unnecessary, and I hope the troll in question has their posting rights revoked. They were scurrilously false accusations
Your reputation as one of the top imagers on the forum remains unblemished. I hope you don't take the actions of one stupid little #$*@ as representative of people here.
Aperture is not the only thing that goes into making a great deep sky image - a hell of a lot of skill, effort and processing nous as well as good conditions also contribute...
