You (and the professional gear) certainly revealed the knots in this shot, excellent! I know this has been discussed a bit before but since it is a great example, out of interest, do you think this image would really belong in an "amateur" imaging contest (should you enter it) given that the raw materials were ordered and done remotely at a commercial observatory with equipment similar or in fact better than that available at Siding Spring Observatory? Just a thought.
Good that you didn't have to pay this time but why would you be reluctant to reveal the cost in other cases? Is it a secret that you can't share? Would be enlightening for some of us I think?
Yes I recon an even tighter framing would be cool too and yes even without the stars, you should try with this image even.
