Warren, That is really quite an amazing looking galaxy. Really has a 3 D look, and it appears that some space creature has folded the ends Thank you for sharing this great object.

Wow Warren, that's a beauty mate Such an intriguing galaxy, one of the most intriguing in the sky really? Lovely work.

Hmm? reaching a peak of 45deg alt at the meridian, that galaxy juuust about gets high enough to perhaps make it worth a crack from here too ...maybe next year?

Very 3D. The ring really stands out nicely.

I really like the saturation level you have achieve in this image. The detail level is quite delicately handled too. A larger resolution would be nice though.

I put this one on my list but it is a bit low from Australia but it looks wonderful. I agree with Paul on the colour saturation, perfect.
