Very nice work

Thanks Ric. It is indeed a double target for the focal length.

Cheers Col. Never under estimate the power of the mind. <Fade in spooky close encounters music>

I can see a lot of compression artifacts in the original linked version, so thanks for the hi-res one!

Thanks Mike. Yes, it is easy to over do it. I spent one too many hours processing this one. Trying different routines etc. It’s kind of like being an author and proof reader in one – you need a break in between the two roles to see things in a different light (fresh eyes). This is why I enjoy posting images here for comment - I consider all comments. I’ll leave reprocessing it for a cloudy night or full moon. I may collect some Ha data and layer it with the current luminance to see what else I can bring out. Never a dull moment.

I just couldn’t bring myself to show a “waxed out” version, full of nasty jpeg artifacts. Certainly not how I envisage displaying my imaging efforts. Am hoping to get time to rework the web code over the weekend to address this.

Thanks again all.
