Thanks so much everyone

Thanks all so much for your kind words, private messages and emails, it has indeed been a hard time for my family, Sarah was such a beautiful person, evidenced no better than by her complete affinity with animals and deep desire to become a vet. She is missed.

This imaging project was actually quite challenging, besides being faint the weather and seeing plus some field rotation (I don't have registar)were a bastad to deal with too, so processing was quite difficult. I am happy with it in the end, it's not perfect and it took all my processing skills just to come up with this result but I was on a mission and was determined to see it through. More RGB would have been good as so much lum is needed to bring out the faint dust. I probably should have binned the RGB too

In the end it doesn't really matter but I am glad it touched a few hearts

Mike
