Thanks, Louie. I'll dig up a reference later.

I'll be picky and say it's a little soft...but oh so wonderfully deep.

Thanks, Peter. Your images are always so crisp and crunchy. I'll try a separate version that's a bit firmer.

I also like the star colours that have come out.
I'm not sure but I think you could have slectively sharpened
some of the Sombrero along that dust lane &
the area in behind it - that flat part of the disk?

Thanks muchly Allan. Actually we've already done some very gentle selective sharpening of just that region. I feel Mike Sidonio watching carefully, lest I overdo it, but as I said to Peter, I might try a separate version.

Best,
Mike
