Mate that's a super effort

The framing is a bit weird though..I guess to get a suitable guide star?
Yeh, not as good as Peters electron microscope result, sure, but the level of detail in your dust lane is still quite good, you probably just need better seeing both within the scope and in the overhead atmosphere to get any better than this? It looks clipped to me though ie sky is too dark and galaxy halo cuts in too abruptly...although at least you can't see processing induced gradient steps in "your" halo

Nice job

Mike
