I imaged that myself extensively about 6 weeks ago (an unprocessed shot). That is a very good high resolution image. Its quite faint and quite small. I was clicking through galaxies on the Sky X and the photos and thought it looked good.

Greg.
Thanks,

I was clicking around the sky in TheSkyX and found it in a similar way Thought I'd get it a crack, and here we are!

Thanks Funny you know, a few years ago I would've said the image scale was normal, but now with so many productive setups consisting of high quality refractors of much shorter focal lengths, and much better quality focal reducers available, less people seem to be imaging 2000+ mm.
