Thanks MnT. I see a shark myself - I expect it's just some sort of cosmic Rorschach test!

I have a similar image I took a few months ago yet to be processed.

Widefields are fun and give a refreshingly different view to these objects.

Greg.
Thanks Greg!
I used a modified Pentax K-5iis DSLR (APSC). It is a newer variant of the K-5 without an anti-aliasing filter. The K-5 is getting rather long in the tooth these days (I bought my K-5 back in 2012) but its sensor still holds up quite well as long as you don't try and go over 3200 ISO.

Looking forward to seeing your version.

Thanks Marc - yep that tail just keeps going. I didn't think I'd need to do a mosaic at a mere 135mm fl but there you go.
