Sometimes I get it right.

I have figured out a technique for dealing with the dark rings via luminence layering into the final image. The reflection nebula is just the depth of the subs. I can't take credit for doing that other than a curves adjustment of two. I am very glad you like it.

This framing is just from the straight pointing Ken. I have this mount pointing really well at present. You know the mount and now so do I.

Exhaustion and work prevented me from gathering more in the last few days. Make hay and all that theory. Thought this one might appeal to you most.

You having an APOD on this very object and all.
