A good test is that there is a faint double star just to the right of the main dust lane that should be at least indetifiable as a double (figure 8 shapped) if you have good resolution and clearly seperated if you have excellent resolution (Like say, when using an AO device on a longer FL 12.5" RC in good seeing).

The love refered to was a man love of course

LOL - sounds like someone who has spent a LOT of time looking at Cent A subs!!!
Great work on the image Steve, even if is ever so slightly off. Was this taken using the worm/gear set you fabricated?
