Dean,
I agree - cool detail in the nebula veins, too bad about the stars and internal detail. Its nice to have high expectations but many (including me) would be delighted to get the image you did get.

Dan,
Ya gotta look at the larger images to appreciate this pic. So do you plan to pick it up next year since this year was constrained?

Hi Dean,
Man I can't believe you are going 45 minutes at the E180 f/ratio. Excellent image.

My opinion is tha LBN 992 is indeed off the frame and likely smaller. However, it is my belief you have LBN 989 right about center.
