Cheers Suavi, yeah there was a reason NASA spent the billions it has on Hubble
As for more exposure?...every man has his limit
besides probably a case of diminishing returns and too many nights wasted for little gain when I could be imaging something else

Yeah I had to take the same bites out of mine in Photoshop, just so they would match

Gotta say its a unique form and more intriguing than the average galaxy, Mike, Damn fine astro-imaging  & write-up's you do  |
Thanks Bob, yeah for a rather "simple" galaxy really, it has something special huh? The various elements, subtleties and the whole field, seem to just work for a pleasing scene
