Cheers Eric. They are pricey, but the output quality speaks for itself. If you can't afford one, renting one is a good alternative.

Spectacular shot.

Thanks Gary. Actually it was your NGC1365 post that gave me such inspiration to capture the field. You portrayed the object very well.

Congrats on your 1000th post, too. I've really enjoyed all your contributions and your sharing of knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mike. You're the catalyst amongst us. You've built a noteworthy community in which I'm pleased to be a part of. It is with great pleasure that I can share my knowledge with like minded people. Thanks again.

Cheers Alchemy. Not sure about the king. Seriously, I'm still learning. The trick is to push boundaries and maximise the data's potential.

Thanks Phil. Fully agree. While processing this image I got a ghostly sense of being a blip in time. Rather weird. Compared to cosmic time, we live for only a few minutes. Make the most of it.

Cheers Dennis. Pleased to provide viewing pleasure while you enjoy your morning cuppa.

Here's the full frame image reduced by 50%. I really enjoy the bright star to the upper left as it gives your eye a reference point to wander the image. Took a while to work out the best composition for this object, but I think I hit the right mark for aesthetics. I had not performed any colour noise reduction on this so its not quite the final full frame version (but thought I'd post it anyway).

Enjoy!
