This is a tiny part of a much bigger project I'm working on....

Hi Peter,
that's the finger of God!

You have some amazing resolution.
The Adaptive Optics coupled with the exotic scope is really working well.
Only Hubble can beat you!

cheers

Thank you Allan...sadly my resolution is not what it used to be..I'm resorting to reading glasses these days. But the telescope is doing OK...might even take on the VLT next

Amazing mate that is quite a dream setup you have. Looks like your image could handle a bit more sharpening with bit of deconvolution would make it even more comparable to Hubble. It is amazing how far equipment has come just Wow!

Pretty extreme! ... and in your face.

Nice of you to comment Luis, but there was some humor intended in the page linked to my post, ( you might guess I don't take listing my gear, or comparing amateur images to the HST, VLT or at the other end of the scale, a *BLT, very seriously ). Maybe a bit of fun, nothing more

*Bacon, lettuce & tomato roll.....which some of my images look like from time to time !

What can I say: there is no substitute for aperture and focal length.

Just to show how good Peter's shot is I post this old comparison image -
which includes 2 images I did a long time ago & some other ones
I found on the internet with a Google search.
I made this image for a capabilities demonstration for an astronomy night presentation in 2014.

cheers

Excellent resolution, Peter.
