[Octane (Humayun)]

Mike and Trish,

Thanks, guys! I try to be careful in how far I push the colours. Given that this was a very small dataset, I'm quite pleased to see some dust starting to poke through the top there, too!

Colin,

Cheers, mate. It's been a very long time between images. My wife is going to hate me all over again.

Rom,

Thanks, mate. I will re-do this once the observatory is set up with the CCD. I hope I will do it proper justice, then.

Rick,

Thank you.

Mike,

Thanks -- it's great to be back! But, as mentioned above, I'm looking forward to the missus complaining about me coming to bed at odd hours. Once the observatory is built, then, that'll go back to normal.
