Very nice!

Much better than my attempt!

Some nice detail in the Cigar and the spiral arms are coming along nicely!

That's very nice - no obvious noise in there and nice and smooth. I like the detail in the spiral arms - more than I managed. I wonder if boosting the contrast may make the spiral even clearer? Dunno!
