Steve, Great image and it is what I hope to achieve eventually. I have a C8 and I see you mentioned it so I am looking forward to your results.

Thanks for your comments Mark. This has been an absolute challenge! I feel like there is more to pull out but then I just hit a rock. There are so many great renditions of this that have been taken from backyard scopes that I'm going for (maybe I'll try the 8" SCT at f/10 next year).
