Frankly if some one had simply shown me that image and asked me whether it was taken with a DSLR, I would have said "no way"
A remarkable result !

Paul, Rod and Peter - Thanks for your comments.
As I mentioned while publishing the M20’s image the overall conditions were outstanding.
Low temperature … made the camera almost like working with a cooler …

It’s not only possible, it’s real.
Altogether, it’s a combination of air conditions (that’s 1st), exposure, ISO, number of frames, (soft) processing parameters etc. etc…
