Thanks heaps guys
glad you all found it intriguing
Yes, Don's image is great
and yep aperture rules here but I recon the fast optics of the AG12 has allowed me to do an ok job considering the difference in site and equipment? I think my handling of the main ring holds up more than well
but and apart from the bigger aperture, I think the 3nm OIII filter Don used was handy too as we both have the same extent of the outer halo but he has revealed higher detail and features within that halo...anyway, we use what we have to best of our ability and be happy with that I guess?
