That's one Super result.  I only tried this target once in Bortle 4 and my result was no-where near as good as yours in Bortle 7.  I found it a really difficult target,  Very impressed,

Wow, what a nice object and image! Didn't know this one, but certainly one to put on my wishlist. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you again, I'm really glad you like it. To be honest I wasn't really expecting much from this target but it turned out to be one of my best photos 😊
