By combining the data from the different focal lengths you certainly reached that pinnacle.
Thanks Barb and David. I certainly put the hard yards into this image. Will be honest, the stars still caused me some grief with the upscaling of RGB data so took some work to bring back the aesthetics. I feel I still managed to keep the image looking natural. Thanks again.

Truly stunning, Jase. What an inspiration.
Cheers Mike. Appreciate the kind words. As they say, once bitten by the imaging bug, you're poisoned for life - there is no return from the dark side. Seriously, I did find the data scaling challenging especially at the focal length difference we are talking about. Seems to have come together quite well.

Thanks Peter. Any chance of getting some time on that 14" RC of yours? Not sure if I'm happy dealing with the light pollution gradients though (such a waste of quality gear - I have a dark sky site in Gippsland if you want to ship your gear) Actually, I may soon have access to a 14" RC in WA, 20" and 24" RC's in the US from lightbuckets.com - Steve is still bringing things online. I'm getting edgy to nail some targets with either the 20" or 24". Should boost my imaging output and experience. Surely there are clear night skies somewhere in the world!

Cheers Baz. Keep at it mate, we all have goals to work towards. Make them realistic and you'll succeed. Thanks again.
