Hi Jase

What a stunning rendition of this classical object! Like Ric, I have fond memories of M1 from some early reading adventures in astronomy. Back then, in my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined such cosmic masterpieces being produced by amateur astronomers.

The detail is breathtaking and I can only guess at the violence of the supernova that gave birth to this extraordinary tangle of nebulosity. I’m so grateful that I have a 1600x1200 LCD, allowing me to take this is with one gulp!

I must say, it will take me several cups of tea to work my way through the intricate structure revealed in this stunning portrait.

Nice to see you back!

Cheers

Dennis

PS – How was the imaging conference?
