Miaplacidus / NGC2822 0.25mm spider vanes

Hi all,

here is quite possibly my best ever resolution image of
the faint galaxy NGC2822 hiding in the glare of superbright
Miaplacidus (Beta Carinae)

Previous comparison sets here and here

Spider vanes recently changed in a completely remade spider assembly/ hub
for trials on the protoplanetary disk of Beta Pictoris.

Seeing was exceptional, one of those rare nights.
I have 4 sets to still process of my favourite targets including a Beta Pict
set.
