I'm not even close to being done with this one, but I thought I'd post an early image.

250mm f/4 Mak Newt astrograph
STL11k
LRGB 75:50:50:50 minutes; unbinned

I'll repost if I can get the other added data I want.

Man! This is close to finished as far as I'm concerned. Though I admit I'm seeing things that if this was mine, I'd try to tweak, too. I think I know where you're coming from.

Fantastic Tom.

That is one of the better Pinwheel's I have seen. It often just looks like cotton candy with no real definition.

Yours looks like a galaxy.

Boy, you have your setup humming and you know how to use it to good effect.
What you need now is to plan a trip to Aussie to my dark site to complete the astro-imaging journey to image those targets you don't get in the US!

You know you deserve it!

Greg.
