That is an outstanding image Martin. The star numbers begin to rise a long way out from the nucleus, makes me wonder, actually how big it is. Thanks for the view, one I will remember.

Nice image Martin. The tracking looks good and some nice colour coming out in the stars.

Thanks mate
I personally didn't think it was that good because i processed it on the laptop.
Then i saw your comment and looked at it on my large screen monitor and it looked a lot better
From now on i better process on the large screen

That's very impressive! A wonderful deep field and still beautifully resolved all the way to the core. Congratulations on capturing such a fine image.

Bloody ripper Marty. You have the QHY9 working a treat now. Looks like a bit of Galactic sirrus there also. Well done Mate.
You have improved with this camera in leaps and bounds.
Keep em coming.
