Great image with lots of detail visible in the core, nice!

Looks great Jim.
Nice improvement over your earlier attempts

Jim,

Nice job! I like seeing the progression of your skills with your various versions as well.

hi Jim,

impressive "change" over the years!
congrats on a terrific image!
this is a very difficult object and you imaged it very nicely.
perhaps colors could be a tad more intense.
but this is my personal taste.

You certainly know how to get the most out of that 8" Celestron SCT.

Excellent Jim!

Great shot. I like the evolution record. I have mixed feelings about looking at some of my own earlier shots and processing - even from not that long ago.

Thanks all for the kind words and comments. I appreciate them much.

I do like to show earlier images I have made of an object. I find it interesting to see them along with the current one. Seems like people don't mind too much.
