Cheers Marc! Not quite as good as it would have been if imaged at higher altitudes, but not bad.

Yes indeed it does! Do I see a new refractor in your life soon Logan?

Thanks David! Glad you liked it! That new DIY astrograph of yours will be blitzing us all soon!

Thanks a lot Steve - it does needs a bit of magnification to really do it justice. Even at 1760mm I was pushing it IMO - although more wouldn't have helped me at this altitude.

Hi Steve, thanks! I'm not used to throwing so much away but you have to be ruthless. Good luck!

Cheers H! Yes, between work and clouds it's hard to find quality time. But with El Nino on the way maybe we'll all have a surplus of clear nights soon!

Thanks Paul - glad you think so. Yes, many renderings are too blue IMO. When I created my RGB master it was too green! When I finished the final colour balancing it was torquoise / teal - a nice compromise!

Thanks a lot mate! I struggled a bit during processing for lack of enough Ha, but I'm reasonably happy.
