Very nice details and colors in that one. You've got the faint extensions and outer shell blues. Quite a feat from Heathcote. You night have to piggy back this scope on Fred's rig at the AAO and give it a good dose of dark skies. It's getting sunburnt in the burbs.
Wow, that's some superb detail there... and with less than 2 hours exposure!
It's actually quite bright... I had to take some shorter subs to avoid burn-out of the core.

Yep a dark site would be good. But no plans to move the observatory in the short term.... longer term maybe
Did you have a guiding malfunction? - I notice a slight bump on all stars at around 11 O'clock or so.

Keen eyes!
I watched it happen, thinking. What the... ..yes, a cosmic ray right next to the guide centroid made things take a wander for a few seconds on one of the subs.
