Only 400mm focal lenght, wow! Great pic!!

Great work.

The outer regions of this are very faint, and the amount of time you've put in is obvious.

Detail in the inner spiral arms is great.

If you throw even more time at it you'll be able to get past the noise floor and bring out more in the outer arms.

Well worth doing I reckon

Cheers
