I think the image is entirely too large for us satellite dish people.
Otherwise, it is a terrific image.
Rest in Peace

Literally took almost 2 minutes to load. Looks way cool when I clicked on it to enlarge though.

My apologies to everyone, I sometimes forget that not everyone is blessed with the internet speeds that Toronto is. What is generally the acceptable size when it comes to uploading photos like this? Thanks and I apologize if I pushed any of you over your data limits

PNG is serious overkill for the web, people will just leave your topics, they won't wait. Then once they figure out why they're waiting, mobile users won't even click on your topics anymore because you're killing their data.

For the purposes of this forum, grading, errors, etc... there's nothing you can't see in this one (159KB) that you can see in yours (26.6MB)

Mine is a 1000 x 668 JPG at 75% compression and is perfectly fine for anything here.

Thanks for the tip bobby, you are right. Most of the detail is retained for web purposes. I suppose it's just a habit to export to full-res PNG. Will keep things under a few 100 KB in the future

The depth of field is really nice. You don't get that in scans. Are you able to share the exact set-up that you have? Perhaps a photo of the set-up along with the specs.
