Beautiful image!

Three nights of seeing like that. What a dream for me. The fronts have started through here daily and my seeing has gone back to is usual lousy state. I tried this very galaxy the other night hoping its high overhead position would help. It didn't.

That's great. Tremendous detail in the dust lane, and great color.
