Thank you. As for the homunculus...sorry. I have to "respect the light"..it's way brighter than the surrounding structures, so I left it that way.

Start with large chip on a superb 'scope, add some good seeing and AO to taste.....but sorry...I'm happy with the watermark for the wider audience.
(in case you missed it, the linked page on IIS is no longer watermarked)

Can't remember seeing as much detail in this object before - a superb result.
Ta..I like think I've highlighted features that were always there...sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees
