Interesting core. I redid my luminance and did a careful stretch enhancing as I went along. I got the same thing, a core plus 3 bright areas to the left like globs close to the centre.

Very nice Hi-Res image, there are so many choice galaxies here in the Southern skies. I wondered what had become of you last week, so you have sea legs as well?

The wide field of this is superb. Love the colours and the sharp detail. Nice work SM.

Thanks Paulie, without an observatory and armed with only a small portable (well, kinda  ) outfit it is hard to go really deep but considering the final exposure I was happy enough with the outcome in the end .
Glad you liked the wide field, not as galaxy rich as some other areas but there may well be some galactic cirrus showing in lower central-left quadrant - shows in the full res full frame version better (not posted on my site).

Nice one Mike. The cruise sounds like a bit of fun. Not like sitting outside all night on your own snapping images. The detail you have captured in such small galaxies is ab testament of the quality of your gear and your ability to use it.
Very nice.

Cheers Mr Horrible
Yeh the cruise was great, I hardly even thought about astronomy the whole time either except the first night high up on the bow deck leaving Sydney Harbour, the sky looked beautiful leaving the heads and I ended up explaining to a few around us all about Orion and Alpha Centauri - couldn't hellp myself

Superb image as usual Mike! All versions are great, with the wide field being my favourite. Tack sharp to the extreme corners, good star colours, and the detail in the galaxy has been expertly processed!

Excellent - it'll be like Xmas again!! From what I've seen it should be a very nice scope indeed!! The specs sound perfect; in fact it may be almost as good as the one I'm building
