Vow, beautiful, gorgeous, amazing. The best I have seen. Years ago I had a private observatory on top of my house. I know how time and $ consuming it was. But the reward was great. Good for you, congrats.

Setting aside the obviously enormous technical challenges, this image reminds me of all the the wonder that lies beyond our unaided eyesight. A massive object nearly two million light years away - we see it as it was that many years ago. You've taken 2 million year old light and made into a beautiful image for us to open our imaginations. Thanks for this amazing gift. I find myself just looking at it over and over again.
I couldn't care less whose "datasets" they are. You've snared my imagination for good.
Stunningly beautiful image, and this is coming from someone with no knowledge of this type of photography. I can imagine just how much more one would appreciate this result when they have an expertise in astrophotography as you do.
