It certainly is an improvement Kev . Love your 1991 shot too, aaah sigh, the good'ol Tech Pan was the bom for nebulae but I recall the more blue sensitive emulsions were a little better for galaxies..?

It's pretty similar to my 1984 shot taken with Ilford HP5 film in a dry ice cold camera, through a Celestron 5, mounted piggy back on the old Oddie refractor at Mt Stromlo

How times have changed...
