M81 Bodes Galaxy in LRGB

Thats what I meant, and I dont think it puts yours to shame, it just shows that resulting data vs. dollars spent is not a linear scale by any means. $10000 worth of gear will not produce a 100% better image than $1000 worth of gear. it would also depend on processing, but thats another equasion...

Thanks Jen, pleased you like it.

Alex, cause it puts me to shame, Im not that vain , look at it, it even stands up well against Robs effort, different, and lacking in some ways, but better in others. Given its with a DSI/Meade/Atalux, its a beedin masterpiece, I bet it took a lot of effort, and a prime example for your gear cost arguement.

Not that I totally agree with your arguement (but I do with the non linear aspect), that image is something out of the ordinary for the gear, theres something else going on thats not obvious (exceptional seeing, uber processing skill/time).
