NGC 5101 is the highlight for me too, but an altogether wonderful field. Fantastic work, Marcus

The highres is great Marcus. So many faint fuzzies with visible structure in them. Of course the main course is superb.

Hehe ... no worries guys. I did know about it, but forgot to mitigate it. Thanks for reminding me! In any case, I'm asking for close inspection by posting full res - so all good!

Thanks Marc. Glad you liked it! I love the richness of the field too and worked hard to show it to good effect. As pretty as the main courses are, the faint background galaxies are just as fascinating and thought provoking.

Just beautiful Marcus. The background galaxies are really interesting when going swimming while there are a few big bright ones to view when not swimming!

Nicely done Marcus. Colour is spot on and any star elongation barely noticeable. Love the tiny background galaxies too.
Cheers

Cheers Colin! Stating the obvious perhaps, but it's well worth the processing effort to bring out the faint stuff - it really makes a field like this much more compelling. I'm not shooting megadata here either so it's quite a challenge.

Thanks Steve. I thought about not using the 2014 data (before the OS was properly collimated) but the thought of re-shooting the Lum was loathsome given my less than reliable wether conditions here.

Yes, very nice image Marcus - great detail and colour! ... and of course I agree that the dark background adds to the aesthetic appeal

Great shot, Marcus! I also like the colour range and balance.

New! improved !
Wonderful stuff Marcus !
Seriously....long focal length images seem to be rare birds these days...I suspect under appreciated by many, hence it's great to see of few fine examples of late.
