Nice shot Eric. You've got me thinking. I once tried my 350D on a galaxy prime focus, I think it was M83. I ended up with very little for 3-5 mins individual exposures.

You're making me wonder if it's worth another shot. Hmm..

Roger.

Eric,

Hope you dont mind...I have applied Gradient Exterminator {PS plugin} to your image to level out the back ground.
