Another addition to the cool wall is just not acceptable at all.

Cheers Peter. Only rains star photons in Rodeo, New Mexico.

They got out of the monsoons a couple of months ago. Clear dark skies most nights now. Agree, the same can't be said for here though. I'm desperately trying to finish off another project.

Thanks Marcus. The full res is good to swim around. The noise is a fine line as there isn't a considerable dynamic range between the background and faint extensions of the spiral arms. A few masks assisted...bit rusty on photoshop I should add.

Thanks Houghy. Its all in the planning as opposed the execution with mosaics. The processing is rather methodical. What you do to one panel...make sure you do it to the others.

Thats right. I just told the scope to point to M33, it took a photo in which I saved as a jpeg and uploaded to my site. The rest I just made up to fill in time.
