Aahhh, you guys ... you're all too kind! At least the lemonade isn't too bitter then?

Thanks Suavi! The optimal seeing for my rig is about 1.8 arcsecs. I actually got some of that when collecting RGB for my 6770 galaxy group and in times gone by. Consequently, knowing what the rig can do in such seeing, I'm not easily satisfied with less!

Yes, M&T's image is very good.

Cheers Mike! You know how it is with galaxies - there's no hiding from bad seeing and when you don't even get
average seeing it's easy to be disappointed!
RGB on top of this? Lipstick on a pig maybe?

Thanks Kevin! It's actually a good 9 to 10 arcmins across. Long FL (with good seeing) is required to do it justice.

Cheers Geoff! Commiserations on the conditions at Wiruna. Did you make any lemonade?
