Well Marcus that's a spectacular rendition, the details you have revealed are nothing short of incredible! That looks as if it could have been done with a 16" RC without a problem. Using the extender and the AO unit turns a 6" into a 16" amazing ...the seeing helps
for sure as does the AO but clearly you have mastered the art of layered deconvolution too, top stuff
...you pipped me on resolution

buuuut sigh..I am affraid the full extent of the galaxy can't be seen though

... sooo I can't pass on the baton yet I am affraid..

...how about we share it?
Mike
BTW...AP + extender + AO would kick TOA butt
