Great images Mike, The ST-8 is some piece of kit. The images are top class with such short exposure time. I only hope to be able to get results like that one day. :D :D :D

Tried to sharpen up the detail a little in the image of the Leo Triplet. Tried to bring out more detail in the spiral arms.

Absolutely awesome images Michael, it's nice to see a true master at work. Can't wait to see more.

Michael,

This is a very impressive result. I have also checked the corners of the image and there is no evidence at all of vignetting. If you can add colour data to this effort, it would be a killer image!
