Greg,
That is sensational! With one image, I now completely understand your love affair with that reducer.
Of particular note here is your brilliant framing of the object. Not only does it loosely follow the rule of thirds (something which ordinarily doesn't work for astrophotography, unless the subject is extended or has compositional elements), but you've managed to pop a bit of nebulosity (of my second favourite part of the sky), some golden Milky Way, and dust lanes.
If you rotate the image by 180 degrees, it just doesn't work.
This is one of your best images.
Well done!
