Certainly the first object I've acquired that has emission, reflective and absorption characteristics.
What do you mean you haven't imaged the Trifid..?

This image was well under $500. While more data would bring out the reflection nebulosity and cut down noise, its a good indication that when you've got aperture and serious sensitivity on your side, you don't need mega data (at high cost) to produce a pleasing result...just careful processing and some noise control techniques.
I agree under $500 isn't anymore than a night or two in a Sydney City hotel I guess...Still, not sure how the trouble'n strife would compare them...or I...returning to the room after a nice meal and a few drinks ...Hmmm that'd take it well over $500 then too huh? ...right! ponder, ponder, ponder......
