Thanks Simon, only one other decent amateur image that I could find, by Don Goldman with his 20" CDK at Coona but while he has certainly gone heavier than I on the sharpening... I don't think it actually shows any more real detail and our Stella limiting magnitudes appear about the same even, so yes, I got good seeing
