M101 - I'm going in deeper :)

Nice and deep. (I already peeked at your color shot, so I know where this was going.)

Good catch. Once again, great use of those focal reducers to get just the right framing.

Great image. Does your processing really say "no darks"? I can't imagine what mine might look like without them.

Sombrero - M104

Great image. Nice detail in the dust lanes, and you were able to get a good looking gradient into the core.

Mine has a 3/8" attachment, which is standard on many heavy duty tripods. But there is that "funny" post that the threaded part is in, so I don't know how well that would work. Maybe make some wooden legs to help?

Good luck,
Charlie
