A top shelf image, Rick! Beautifully presented. The quantity of data has really paid off no doubt. Sure, we always want more but I suspect you've hit the point of diminishing returns with is target. Well done.
Would have been nice to see what the full frame looked like on this one Rick? You really have done a top job presenting a rarely seen galaxy in all its finery.
Beautiful - thanks for sharing. My first impression is the variety of wonderful star colours and ?galactic cirrus that jumps out at you - again a sign of well processed quality data. Wonder if the material at 5 o'clock near the star is related? Stars are a bit softer in the full frame too of course, with exception of the "Dr Who intro" blazer
Time well spent at AF really putting the scope through its paces. You must feel a lot more confident in what it can do now.

Thanks, Rob. I made a cursory attempt to identify the fuzzy area near the star without success. I was planning to look further when I get a chance.
Yes, I'm very happy with the scope and know it will perform. I just need to upgrade my processing skills to match!
Thanks, Tony. It was great to catch up for a couple of days. Hopefully I'll see you again before the next AF... I'm having a great time down here at AAIC 2013 this weekend!
