Cheers Tom, hope you didn't mind my critique of your image, making slightly negative comments doesn't mean it isn't any good, it is really still a fantastic image, I disslike only pointing out bad points in what is otherwise a corker of an image, it often seems so shallow

Yes, imagin looking at this galaxy through an Orion 50" Dob from Wiruna on a dark cold moonless morning, I recon you'd just about see most of the details captured in this image (in B&W of course)

Very nice colour considering relatively short colour exposure times... it has really vivid and deep colour...
Well done mate.. Gotta be happy with that..

Thanks so much Alex, the PL11002 really is a great camera, it is hard to imagine that the PL16803 will technically be an even better camera
I feel so lucky
. As for short colour exposures, I have never grabbed extensive colour data for my images, the necessity for it is way over rated. I have never understood the necessity for it particularly the percieved need for going bin 2X2 either
. The RGB is very forgiving in my experience. Look at Wolfgang Prompers images he too gathers relatively little colour data and his images are amongst the best in the World

Well, Freddo, thanks for your kind comments, when I manage to extract this level of detail from 1140mm fl and 6" aperture I always think of you
...err?..and what I could do with a bigger scope

A very pretty area of the sky beautifully captured and processed.
Well done.

Yes the full frame full res is worth looking at huh? Posting that size takes a good result to to be able to do
..funy how every image has its trials and tribulations and the level of result varies, one would think you can just pull out a corker everytime buuuuut like a spag bol there always seems to be differences, very few imagers can consistantly produce the exact same level of look and polish every image, there are few Cromans, Prompers and Gendlers amongst us but they do provide inspiration huh?
