I have 70min Lum on this from over a year ago actually, was planning to finish it this year but haven't yet

Cheers Mike :-) Subtle is a good word for this galaxy. I struggled a bit with the colour on this one but I think the longer I leave it the happier I am with it.

Definitely worth getting some more data on it, I'd love to see your rendition.

Thanks Mike :-) Yeah, I've had a pretty good run this year, really. Had some of the worst conditions I've seen, but gotten the best results, so that's something to be proud of.

I tend to go pretty hardcore on the processing these days but I'm not sure there's too much you can do with this one, I think it really lends itself to a more subtle, natural look.

One day I hope to have some less affordable, sensible equipment, but this'll do for now
