Thought Mike and others might be interested in this mega effort posted on the PI forums......

That's certainly a fantastic result!

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

What a mammoth effort!!!
And wow, what a result.
Thanks for the link Rob.

Amazing image, the integration time seems mammoth until you realise that their 6 identicle mountain top scopes can do it all in one night.

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Not bad huh? Kinda Looks processed though...

Still rather amazing

Mike

[RobF (Rob)]

Yeah, the PI guys go a bit over board with hard processing sometimes I worry (what would David M say!?), but you have to give it Jack Harvey and crew, they do amazing work with amazing gear.

I am surprised there is not more detail for such a long exposure
Where are the blue arcs and other details which are seen in images taken by Mike Sidonio and others
Is it to do with the different filters ect
Cheers

No Ron, Mike Sidonio's scope is not very well corrected.
Mike get yourself a TOA 150.

Thanks Rob,
That pic has so much resolution.
I thought it was a hubble pic!

I think it was taken from this batch of professional observatories.

That's gotta be the best one taken for sure. Even on my iPhone, it looks 3D.

looks pretty good

Nearly as good as the last Centaurus A done by Strongman Mike
