Am pleased to see you back from your break Rick.

Thanks, Rodney. Roll on retirement when I'll have time to travel and to process all that data

I may yet one day convert and try astro-imaging with a reflector...

Thanks, Suavi and Mrs Suavi! That's close to heresy from a confirmed refractorphile

Top shelf stuff Rick. Quite faint and a challenge to process from memory.

Do you have a rig at Martin's Yass set up now too? (cue green envy emoticon!)

Thanks, Rob. It is a difficult object but great data helps. The gear is Martin's but watch this space. Setting up in Chile

I my opinion it's better than 2 APODS I found.

Only a closeup - Hubble APOD shows more of the core:

Very well done indeed!

Very kind of you, Andy.
