Thanks Josh ma'man, who is soon to have a mount
nearly as good as mine 
Gotta love AP mounts, when does it arrive?
Yeah I see soooo few images that have used BlurEx where it isn't as obvious as DB's, that I just can't warm to it as a "look"
the odd imager out there has managed to use it without being obvious but still get some benefit and those are ok I guess?

Amazing and inspiring work - thanks for sharing. Have just been "galaxy surfing" some of the other galaxies visible which are amazing in their own right too - the 2 larger ones in your thumbnail are really showing some nice detail.  |
Yes the Drizzle thing has been suggested before Rob and I keep meaning to have shot at it...buuut seems I am a creature of habit
...besides, a finer physical image scale is better than drizzling, like better seeing always trumps RL decon, BlurEx or other sharpening

27 hours and 30 minutes of integration.
L,Ha,OIII,R,G,B = 15hrs, 4.2hrs, 3.2hrs, 1.6hrs 1.6hrs, 1.75hrs.
You have really excelled this time.
As expected so many other distant galaxies have popped out.
cheers

Thanks Al, yeah always a lover of seeing a myriad of background galaxies
but it was the massive extended halo with spiral structure that made me swoon this time
Thanks all for the nice comments
Mike
