Beautiful image Bill, it looks great.

Lots of detail and nice round stars.

Well done.

That's a very nice shot of ngc104 Bill, right to the core well resolved. Makes me want to get my 350D out of mothballs.

Rework of the rework. Apparently most of the stars in NGC104 are meant to have a slight yellow cast (according to http://www.aao.gov.au/AAO/images/captions/aat076a.html).

So revisited the composition from scratch paying attention to color balance and this is the best I could do.

Nice work Bill. Enjoyed the reprocessed version. This is actually a tough target to show its full extension while not burning out the core. Compared to Omega Cent, NGC104's core is densely packed and bright. Well done.
