Thanks all,
Robert, the old beast (450D) is still surprising me, the APO I purchase in 2011 so that should keep going for longer, the filter has given me good objects to try as I was previously limited to 60sec on a full moon and 90secs from the light pollution in new moon. The camera is unmodified and I was hoping for this target to still be good for me. Only my Guide camera is letting me down for some deep sky objects.
Peter, I really like the blues as well. I am sure with a few more exposures maybe 6 minutes I may get something better, in the mean time starting from today I will be concentraing on some electronics modifications to my set up.
Still hope to catch a few photons in the meantime.
