A pretty challenging target, this one has some very faint arms. Over 9hrs of data was shot over the past few nights, with much of the luminance captured under a near-full moon which isn't terribly conductive to imaging faint stuff. I've also under-stated the processing somewhat, favouring smaller, better stars and core detail over bringing out all the faint stuff.

Seeing was reasonably good, average for the lum was just shy of 2.2"
