Ta. M20 is brilliantly placed for Sydney observers as it almost goes through the zenith as it transits....decidedly less glow to image through. That said, I'll think I'll re-shoot this one at F6...which is a wussy FL of 2800mm in my case...

Joyous? I like that! And gaseous globules?....here is me thinking Herbig-Haro objects were some sort of confectionary

Thanks Marc, indeed at these focal lengths, you sometimes see Cindy Crawford has a mole...damm...
