Some really good data there Steven. Bit of black clipping in the processing though. I'd say you could extract even more out of it and a little bit of JPEG artefacts in the compression. Very nice shot nonetheless.

Thanks for the comments.

Seeing conditions were below average for this one.

Looking good for seeing conditions being below average if you ask me. Very good shot of what I believe is a difficult subject to do justice to.

Thanks Frank and Dave.

Although it's an improvement on previous attempts, it could have been a better. I had to water cool the CCD as the it was a warm night.

The seeing conditions plus the water surge ruined half the frames.
