Only reasonably pleased? I reckon its a ripper because you have captured so much of the faint outer arms that others fail to do. THe fact you did it with a dslr makes it more impressive.

Well done

Couple of other interesting little fuzzies in the field too.

It's always nice to find a couple of fuzzies hiding in the background Simon

Well done

Geoff the detail in the outer arms did come out very well. We were certainly impressed with the detail extracted particularly using a DSLR

Must say we're really enjoying our DSLR imaging Paul. It's great to be able to use such basic equipment and yet capture such good detail

Lovely image Barb and David. Great colour and heaps of detail in the core region. It is on my list of targets to shoot very soon with the QSI.
