The subject needs to be bit more centered, but still looks good.

Agreed, Chris...will take better note of that in future sessions.

I have updated both this image and the image of Trifid I uploaded yesterday after discovering that on Gamma correct displays (set to the industry standard of 1.22), they appear washed out and over stretched.
