Tony - very cool indeed! Is the focus soft or is it the resolution of the posted image that makes it a bit soft? Rest assured, no criticism but it is not as sharp as you 7331.

Hello,

 

     This galaxy in Pisces turned out to be a lot harder to image properly than I thought ... turns out that you need enormous signal to noise to record the faintest elements ... in the process a maze of faint galaxies showed up in the background ... hard to say if some of these are galaxies or faint stars ... but I'll bet a significant number are galaxies ... there seem to be some groupings in the upper left part of the image. Five hours of luminance with a 14.5" f/8 Cassegrain under cold and dark winter skies gets you ...

     Have a good one,
