One to be proud of Bernard. My eye is drawn to the amount of dusty detail that you captured in the main spiral arms of NGC 4725. The background galaxies peaking through the spiral arms at the top of the galaxy are pretty awesome as well. Did you overshoot with the sharpening? I had to go to the full size version and look closely at the stars in front of NGC 4725 to even notice.....so I'd say that's the most minor of quibbles. Excellent work as usual.
