Thanks Rob. Only other image with FSQ to date is Lagoon:

It's always better to collect more than you need in my opinion and in this case you have been able to select the best data. I really like your colours and the vibrancy, by comparison my version looks drab. The dark nebulosity shows up with the greater integration too.
Well done.

Now, can I have 40 hours of sky too?  |
Thanks Paul, Ray, Kevin, Dylan. It is indeed a faint object. I've tried some short exposures in the past but nothing serious. Glad to have been able to bring it out clearly here and that you appreciate it
. Certainly no way I could have done this without automation. Central Vic weather a pretty good option too it seems.
