Within 8 wet weeks only one deep sky image,
I got new luminance data at 4 m F/L and combined it with my older color image.
More details and full resolution here:

Total 5 h exposure with 16".

That's exceptionally well done, Johannes. The large image is a treat to look at.
One rarely sees such good color and resolution on Holmberg IX, too.
It does seem as if the weather has been notably poor for most imagers this winter.
My regards,

Johannes,
Very nicely done. Congrats!

Looks like the big aperture and long focal length really brought out the detail. Very sharp and impressive.

I think you should enter this as a contestant for Picture of the Day at Anacortes (http://www.buytelescopes.com

I have more than a hunch it would get picked. It's a doozie.
