One of the things I enjoy most about these images (yours especially Bernard) is the fun in seeing all the accompanying fuzzy companions. They abound in this shot. Oh and lest I forget, the detail in the primary subject is spectacular - from core to ring. It doesn't get much better.

This one was a real challenge and a learning experience. The core was completely blown out with regular exposure lengths, so I had to merge in some 30 second exposures of the core. Even with that the RGB image was still quite saturated and hence while the core has some detail, it does not have much color. Comments and suggestions welcomed. http://www.azstarman.net/M94.htm Bernard -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
