More colour data will come in time...as is Christmas.

Thanks. It is a pretty little thing. That said I used the RC's native focal length to help reveal the details. A FL of around 3.1 metres takes some taming..but I'm pretty happy with the results to date.

Thanks Alan. It can be done...just needs a lot more work than imaging from a dark site.
A lot more work. But what the heck...my observatory is literally ten paces from my back door. Swings and round-abouts

Ta. I cropped the field quite a bit...but I figured the distant cluster a top left needed to be included to give the scene some depth. They are very faint, about Mag 20 or so.
