Mike,
Damian Peach is a phenomenal astroimager, one of the best ever, however there have been several others just as good. For instance Maurizio De Sciullio owner of Excelsior Optics was taking images of that quality 10 years ago with somewhat inferior photographic and computer equipment at his disposal compared to that which Damian Peach uses. Unfortunately Maurizio has retired due to poor health and has taken his Excelsior Optics website down which contained all his images. There are still a few floating around the internet but not his best shots. Maurizio built special long focus planetary newtonians, an 8"/F10 and a 10"/F8, he did all his imaging with a 10"/F8 newt.
