Exceptional image MnT, a real benchmark

Thanks Colin. You get the best view from the edge!

Thanks Marc. Definitely roast chicken.

Thanks, Mike. Vigilance it is.

The Skull of Scorpius. Perhaps on the edge of too high impact, but we liked the whispy thready bits we've brought out here and there.

Thanks muchly Paul. Yes, Mother-of-Pearl here and there.

Thanks for the encouragement Simmo! The multiple discrete textures are fascinating. Presumably there are only a handful of underlying processes going on - gravitational collapse, star formation, radiation pressure, supernovas and shocks, but slight differences in the environment produce radically different results.
