That’s really good Martin. Beautifully resolved all the way into the core. Lovely!

Thanks Dave
Another hour would have been nice , however my upper story roof and a 20m high front council tree blocks my view to the south and south west
Globs are about the only object you can image in broadband when the moon is full and high. I started the hobby imaging globs with my old canon 600D 6 years ago and still enjoy imaging them these days.
