You captured a lot of detail and are making good use of such a moderate aperture. I use a 6" too and can appreciate what you see. Well done.

I like the 6"er more and more, because the seeing is often ok by using "small" aperture. True that I see more details with my 10"er but I can`t not often go at his limit.
