Mark,

Great details in the galaxy however the sky background looks very smooth to me - not sure if this is amazing data due to the very long exposures or processing? If it's processing, my preference would be to back off on the noise reduction slightly and leave a bit of grain.

Either way nice capture.

Peter

It looks like good data Mark, but should benefit from some more blue and another go at balancing the colour?
Is it hard to get imaging time there?

Sorry to say Rob but after work I have imaged every night for two weeks solid till 6am then sleep until 11am and start work at 11.30am till 3.30pm then maybe have a nap and work from 6.30 to 10.30 and then start imaging again. The two guys I work with basically do the same. It is like a permanent Astrofest and when i work I am showing people objects through two 9 1/4 inch CPC scopes. I am very lucky to have this opportunity. Thanks for the comments all. I will have another crack at processing this when I get more data. I little short on colour data.
