Thanks for your kind words Suzy and I am glad my efforts are encouraging you to find more objects. Please have ago at the faint lobes in NGC 2371-2 as my observing position is very poor for any objects that are low in the sky to Norh (streetlights!) or South (Princes Hwy!), and the main parts of the PN should be easy for you. I intend having a go at them at Snake Velley in a fortnight and would love to compare notes.
Don't worry about Orestis, we can all bask in his reflected glory!
See what you think of NGC 2440. Outside of stars and PNs the only colour I have seen was one splendid night I could see pink and green in M42. Hope to again sometime.
