Thanks again Jase, yeah I think 8min,f2.5 for this lens is pushing it under my skies here, I'll have to stop it down because the data was very difficult to process.

Processing on different monitors is a real PITA.

Awesome view of this lovely object.

Cheers Mike, I couldn't believe how different it looked on the LCD.
It really is a pain processing for different types of monitors.

LOL nice spotting there Andrew, I was wondering if anyone was going to pick that up.

Cheers, Marcus

Glad you liked it Marcus, I certainly will stop the lens down more, just wasn't sure on first light how it would go, usually I go above f/2.8 on the others.
