Very nice detail Greg especially in the faint nebulosity.

Here is an animated gif of your upsized image with the same area from my large Saggitarius Mosaic. 7MB.

Click anywhere on the image to see it full size.

We are comparing a 300mm FL effective 84mm diameter at f/3.5 using a DSLR to 1260mm FL 180mm diameter APO at f/7 using an astro CCD.

You can see why the Canon 300mm F2.8L is held in such high regard by me and many others.
