Thanks JohnG. I selectively processed the background galaxies to bring them out subtly. Use of a heavy noise reduction causes significant detail lost in them.

Beautiful!

Cheers Gary. I was hoping for more data on the luminance, but 2 hours seemed to be ok. I could stretch the luminance data reasonably hard without introducing much noise. Perhaps a few more hours would have provided greater detail in the spiral arms. Thanks again.

A very impressive image.
