Thanks for that. Yes it did come out well for the amount of exposure time. The advantage of 17 inch aperture.

Ah thanks Steve. I should've looked that up before I posted it. I'll correct it.

Thanks Louie. I am very happy with this Microline 16 with its 6 micron pixels. I thought it would simply lose sensitivity but even at .43 arc secs image scale the scope and conditions are keeping up with it.

Thanks Peter. I did spend a lot of time processing this and its quite a complex image. You tend to lose perspective when you spend a long time in one sitting. I left it for a while and came back and the original was way too saturated so I corrected that.
