Great image Al

I like the widefield view, galaxies always look fantastic with that floating in space look.

Very nice Alan
You can stretch this more, the background is looking too black, to show the antennae.

That's pretty cool Alan!

Gotta agree with Martin here; you should be able to push that data a bit further (example attached).

Great stuff there, nice dark background. The CLS filter brings out the nebulosity in the galaxy cores really well.

Looks like a great effort from city skies to me Alan. Nicely executed.

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Very nice and well stretched now!

Nice on Al. Geez they are tiny little buggers. Not much point in me swinging the FSQ on this pair.

Great target to capture and a very nice job from your location!

The stretched version looks good. At first, I was wondering "what antennae?!"

Good colour and detail...and all from Newcastle skies!
