Nice. You have better seeing than I do! Like the full size image I took it a couple months ago in moonlight. So many gradients from the moon I haven't tried processing it. I hate processing as I'm not good at it then with gradients they sit there and age for a while until I get nerve to go to work on them. So far this winter if it has been clear with no moon seeing has been over 5" FWHM. Though mostly it's been cloudy. Worst imaging winter I can recall in my over 50 years at this hobby.

At least I now know what I'm shooting for. You've set a difficult target for me to hit when I do get up the nerve to tackle it!

Rick

Nice image, interesting field, and well processed.

That small galaxy cluster in the lower portion would make for an interesting hubble target.
