A really lovely image! you must be chuffed!

[barkis]

A wonderful job here Rui.

The fact that no Darks were needed is music to my ears, as I have recently bought a 314L+.

M63 is a popular target lately, and they've all been superb.

Very nice.

Excellent. And, sorry, but that was with an ED80? I'm surprized by the image scale.

Very impressive,

Yes ollypenrice i use an SW ED80 to photograph the "dolls"

processing could be better but do it this way because they like to see so pure

but also love to see the processing of other fellow of astro-photography are very good and certainly better

thanks for the comments
