Alex and Stephane, thanks for the compliments.
I suspect I'm pushing for targets that are a bit beyond my scope's reach (and then wanting images like those from Hubble) and need to rein in my expectations a bit...
Alex, I fully agree I was pretty light-on with the text. My excuse is that I just wasn't in the mood to churn out another War-and-Peace saga for an image I wasn't really happy with. (And no doubt I've disappointed oska as well.

)
I'll make sure I have the mojo for a good slab of text to go with my next image.
Cheers,
V
