Hi Mike,
I saw your posting of this image on FB yesterday and it was so
impressive that it gave me reason to pause today and to logon
to IIS with the express purpose to congratulate you on one of the
finest amateur astrophotographs I have ever seen.
I have seen the faint smudge through large apertures that Shapley 1
provides visually and your comparison with an earlier AAT image by Malin
& Lee indeed provides not only a comparison of how far imaging has
come but is also testimony to your skill, dedication and patience.
Congratulations and well done!
Best Regards
Gary
