Ta, Paul. The FB image was before I collected the last night of data and was just a quick process. Took me a while to figure out some strategies for fixing problems like the big, ugly star halos in the previous version.

Top shelf material, Rick. No small order in bringing out the faint stuff, especially at F/9. Love the details and colours you've produced with the data set. Other reports indicate the additional nights worth of data has done the trick. I would tend to agree. Very pleasing result and presentation. Keep up the splendid work.

Is there anything else one can say that hasn't already been said?
Love your work!

That's amazing Greg. So much detail! What's the go with the jet in the right hand corner, shooting off in a different direction to the others?

Thanks, Erik. The right angle bend in R1 is called the "dog-leg." It has been a topic of some study. This paper describes an n-body simulation which demonstrates similar shaped jets forming in a minor merger.
Cheers,
Rick.
