Chris you are correct but the only way to view it is at full resolution on a 50 inch monitor!. I could fudge it. Just save it and view at what you think is OK. It is a very deep image at 300mm it will not show the clarity of a far longer focal length scope. But ihe field of view is rather wide. I have tried to get the dark dust to show up as well as everything else.

The HDR process does soften stars from the clearly defined circular objects only differing in size due to their apparent magnitude. This lens can produce perfect stars but there is no nebulosity.

When you can zoom back from an image produced by a long focal length telescope with only a few tight round stars and then see many tens of thousands of stars at the same apparent quality I will agrree with you. This image is over 16MB in JPG form and far better than this 4MB image.
