Hi Cesar, NB is not my thing as a rule but in this case it has really lifted this target. Beautifully captured and framed. Great image scale as well.

Love it. Well done.

Have to agree, I like the widefield aspect of this one some wonderful imaging, but I disagree with narrowing the field of view,

I love seeing this object just hanging around in space.

Cesar,

That's great. I can also make out the rear portion of the Helix.

Good work, keep it up.

Humayun
