Cheers all - perhaps "nailed" was an unfortunate choice of words for such a family-friendly forum

The framing looks great. It's just such a huge object. Colors looking good already. More data will certainly make it a ripper in the final. Well done.

Nailed well and truly Doug!
Love this object, but she is elusive and needs lots of time to get her.
Very nice indeed.
All the best

Excellent Doug. Indeed, this is a tough target at the best of times. You've done well to bring out the details. I recall having to do heavy masking to manage brightness of the area - in particular from the star Rigel.
