Both of these are wonderful images! I think the second takes it by a small margin for me. Your processing is very good, retaining very natural colour in the dust and trap, and those little niggles that we all obsess over zoomed in at 700x really don’t detract from the overall pic at normal viewing size. I looove your running man- he’s on fire!!! Those are some huge diffraction spikes
- is that function of the new scope I wonder?
