Superb resolution John. Even in the faint fuzzies around the field.

You got a lot of detail there John which is very hard to obtain. Well done.

Certainly managed to bring out the detail in the dust lanes, especially like the leading edge with it rising above the galactic plane

Me too - I think there are plenty of Aussies taking note of what you and the SPX350 can do John

Just awesome! You've made it look really natural and smooth while still bringing out lots of intricate details in that dust lane. You've also captured several faint background galaxies in addition to the globulars. Very cool!

This is pretty close to the best M104 I have seen. I think Pete's is just better, but this is very nice all the same. I really need to image this at some stage. A real joy to view this image.
