Hi Steven,

One of my favourite galaxies. Really, really lovely mate, excellent detail in the dust lanes and the faint little companions -- you should be proud. Excellent job!

Best,

Must agree Steven, that is an awesome image, and as mentioned plenty of detail, you have done very well indeed.

Nice work, Steve. Plenty of detail there

Only one thing...background is a little too bright.

Great reprocess Steven. Has all the classic hallmarks of a "Steven" image - impressive (yet subtle) details, natural colours and lack of "hardcore" processing. A marvellous image on all accounts. Well done.

Excellent Steven! Natural but detailed and smooth - colour spot on. I'd probably weaken though and do some more "hardcore" processing .... call it a character flaw

Cheers, Marcus

Great job Steven you've really brought out the detail. Agree with other comments nicely processed with a smooth background.

Can't agree with you there, the background looks quite natural on my LCD, not bright at all but also not that harsh black that I see sometimes on some DSO images.

Looking forward to more.

Thanks. I have a preference for dark gray backgrounds similar to the night sky.
