Very nice, Al. Lots going on in this one, that's for sure. I have always liked this object - even better than it's neighbor M8.

Thanks for the considerate feedback everyone! It was a long time coming to get this one out the door. I screwed up the color filters last year & had to wait a year to re-do the RGB. Wouldn't have happened if I was doing one shot color.
