Tim,
Great image there exposing the dust lanes well
Nice colour too
I envy you with such a beast of a mount , I’m limited to my EQ6-R which is no slouch either but the EQ8 is beyond my practical and physical means ( it’s more of an observatory type rig )
Well done !!

The EQ8 was my retirement present to myself <grin>.

Saturated version

Great image with that glow and dust,
The first one without the saturation is better.
