Nice shot, Martin....bit noisy though. However, the galaxy shows up nicely. The dust lane is quite prominent and the core looks tight

The crop is the best pic

Thank you renormalised.

I need longer exposures on this object to get rid of the noise.

Always a favourite. Stirs the imagination.

And it doesnt even look like a sombrero.
It looks more like a flying caucer

Nice going Martin, this one is atiny little bugger to get , however you have done pretty well, slightly noisy as mentioned but a top effort.

Good one Martin. Small one this. You need some more focal length to do this justice. Looks a little on the reddish side on my monitor. Well captured,guided and framed. Well done.
