Your images and comments have been missed very much!

Welcome back!!

The main galaxy is, as you say, very quaint indeed. Interesting you couldn't confirm the tidal stream.

Cheers,

Yes, interesting indeed, they do use a fabulous 32" scope under dark steady skies, sure, but I still would'a thought such a feature, as presented on their site, would have shown up (after stretching) in 10hrs through my scope ...perhaps it is fainter than I realise?

Thanks Peter So, could you see all the galactic dust on your monitor too? Many people have their monitors pretty dark and high contrast, so faint nebulae and dust gets lost to the view, especially if the monitor is in a bright room. Many people don't even realise this is happening because they have never adjusted their monitors (or the surrounding environment) properly for viewing astroimages.
