OK it didn't cost $29.95 and come with a set of steak knives ....but it does do the job soooo well

Thanks Marc. Your feedback is, as always, very welcome.

What?? Move away from the program???
(Actually I have been working on a much tougher target with over 35 hours of data to date.... TBA....)

A benchmark Eta for sure. Actually I'm still impressed by your 2005 12.5" RCOS effort totalling 50mins exposure integration time. I've still got the S&T mag of it. That was certainly a benchmark back then so its good to see you continue put a stake in the ground with this one. Well done Peter.

Hi Peter,
Some really tight stars in there.
I looked at your old version of this image with less data here:

http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery140.html

I cropped a small section around the keyhole of both images.
I hope you don't mind?
The older version has more detail & is sharper.
Is this your processing or just the different size image in terms of MBytes?
See the attached pic:

It's OK, I'm used to to people going over my images with a fine-tooth comb. Guess I've imaged it more than once......

Different data set, different seeing....also the last version is scaled down quite a bit.... lots of reasons there...

Ta Josh.

I'll be under the radar for a week or two, with spotty internet access.... so I may not be able to respond/answer questions, but " thank you" to one and all for you input and feedback on this one.

Ha yeah I remember the fluoro version. They reprinted it the following issue.

Peter,

Sorry Peter - I couldn't help but notice.

Insane 3d effect, excellent. The new version is way better, less obvious stars

[kinetic (Steve)]

Yes, that truly is epic Mr Ward.

Hi Peter

You have out done yourself! Sublime comes to mind.

[Rex]

Hi Peter, all I can say is WOW!! truly amazing depth and detail.

[iceman (Mike)]

Some great detail there Peter, nicely done!

[Paul Haese]

The iPad version of this looks more 3D than the view on my laptop. Colour also looks great on the iPad too. Tight stars too.
